one HUNDRED
PERCENT WORK
POWER NEEDED
Both Men, Women Must
Cooperate in Filling
Jobs FIdkne Says

power of Alaskans, both men and
women, is going to be required to
keep the economic life of the Ter
ritory on an even basis and in adj
dition provide sufficient workers
for the military projects, mining
and fishing industries Joseph
Flakne. Director of the United
States Employment Service, said
today.
There are now number OF po-
sitions and jobs of various types
open in the Territory, some Of
them in civilian work and others
on defense projects. 1t is my belief
that in order to rush the defense
bases to completion and keep the
other necessary industries supplied
with workers, it is the patriotic
duty of every man and woman, mar
ried or single, that is able to work,
TO take a position. In this way, men
who are capable of working on the
military projects, or mining and
fishing can be released for work
that must be done Mr. Flakne
said.
Should Employ Women
Employers should strongly con-
slider employing women for every
type of work that they can do
If necessary. my suggestion would
be to break down jobs into part
time jobs and let women who can't
be away from their homes for an
entire day, work part Of the day,
or several days out of q week.
"The prejudice against married
women working that has prevailed
in Alaska should be waived during
the war crisis and everyone who is
able or willing to work, should do
SO in order that our country may
have one hundred percent coppera-
ton from every Americana. Z
The United States Employment
Service has been assigned ito the
job of recruiting 100000 workers
within the next six months. In or
der to fill 1t. women, retired work
ers, boys and girls able to hold full
or parttime jobs will have to fill
In these positions"
Patriotism Needed
Women who have had business
training at some time in their lives,
but feel that they are rusty, would
be contributing a great service to
their country by brushing up on
their tipping, shorthand and book
keeping and taking some of the po-
sitions that must be filledr Mr..
Flakne stated. gia4
