More Women
In Industry

Raleigh, June p.-Only a few
women are now taking courses in
North Carolina leading to jobs in
the war industries, but numbers of
women are being placed in jobs va
Gated by men called into the military
forces that do not require extensive
training, it is revealed by Mrs. Ger
trude K. Clinton, acting director of
the United States employment serv-
&c for North Carolina.
The role of the Employment Serv-
ice in connection with the training
courses, for men. as well as for Wom-
for the services, to select by inter
views and tests those considered slut
ed for taking the courses, and later
to refer them to employers needing
workers of the types the ~trainees
can fill, Mrs. Clinton explains.
Employers of the state have not as
yet been required to tap the largest
reservoir of labor now available
the women-because up to now the
numbers of men have been suffi-
cient in most c~lassifications. How
ever, as the war effort increases and
more workers are needed, women
will have to enter the skilled or
s~emi-skilled occupations in larger
numbers, the Employment Service
director believes
Training courses for occupations in
war industries nave not been set up
in North Carolina for women work.
ers as such, even though a few are
taking the courses offered. Mrs. Clin-
ton explains that in probably halt
of the occupations in which women
| will be suitable, the time required
for training is not more than two
months, and that as the supply OF
men decreases and the need fol
! women workers becomes more ap-
parent, courses particularly for then
will undoubtedly be provided.
