Continental TO Hire
Women Soon Under
Expansion Program
BY sILER FREEMAN

Mack Mitchell, the 36-year.
old mechanic who Is joining the
navy TO escape the growing
army of women workers in the
plants, should have looked in
on Continental Motors before
he decided TO 60 TO sea.
Continental so far has had no
women employees in its Detroit
or Muskegon plants.
But even here Mitchell would
not have enjoyed his Eve-less
Eden for long. For Continental
expects to hire women soon, and
in large numbers.
Continental, the wonder com.
pany" in industry which staged
a comeback from virtual bank
ruptcy TO dominance in the
engine building field in three
years, has a big expansion
program under way. Part OF
this expansion program encom-
passes the hiring of thousands
of women workers. both in De-
troit and in Muskegon.

the market price down from 81 20

cents on October Is because no
provision was made in the freeze
for storage costs.
Inability of producers to store
the new crop now coming on the
market. forcing them to sell from
the car at relatively low prices,
undoubtedly is largely responsible
for the price drop. the spokesman
said. But he denied that this was
caused primarily by the freeze
order. He said the principal rea-
son was the shortage of storage
space caused by wartime conges-
ton.

Plant Without Steel

Evidence that the company
has foreseen this need for some
time is revealed in the planning
of the new aviation and engi.
neering building, a huge affair
that is going up fast. Facilities
have been provided for women
in the new plant, plans for
which were drawn early last
spring.
The aviation building Is some
thing new in war plant con.
struction. II is built entirely
of concrete and wood. The
only steel in the entire structure
is the metal window sash and
that came about through some
misunderstanding of the con-
tractors, according to Conti-
mental officials.
1t is a revelation to see what
can be done without steel in
building a plant. Even the huge
trusses and beams for the roof
are of wood. Fine lumber
from the south and the north
west are going into the con-
struction of the huge plant.

Learning TO Rely on

BY Ii. c. FORBES

Industry is doing such a tran
scendently better job than Wash

vital fact may Importantly mould
the whole future of America.
For 10 years Washington has had
its own way, has dominated every
thing and every one-except our
powerful labor and farm unions.
1t has run the country. 1t has run
the war.
But the people are learning that
their reliance for victory must be
upon practical business leaders
upon corporations, upon producers
rather than politicians.
In handling the war program
Washington has sadly Topped and

less alphabetical bodies, only Il
scrap many of them and set uI

inefficient.

competent as management of the
