The importance of voluntary reg istration of women for work was stressed by Mrs. Mark L. Sperry, district chairman for the registra- tion to be conducted here May 4, 5, 6, and q, at a final meeting of captains and volunteer registrars held at the Audet hail this morn- ing. Over 100 women attended the session which was devoted to ex- planation os the procedure to be followed in the registration and to talks on employment opportuni- ties for women of this city.
 M Winning The War
 Mrs. Sperry expressed the hope that all women who are able to take jobs would register with the Woman,s Employment Mobiliza- ton committee when 1t takes ap- plications from women at local schools at the same time that sugar rationing cards are distributed. Every woman who takes a job will relieve a man for service in the armed forces, she said, and in that way each woman will have direct part in the winning of the var. She pointed out that woman's responsibility in defense efforts was as great as mems, and an op- portunity to assume the responsibi- lity to great advantage would be given through means of employ ment.
 Women should welcome the op- portunity to take over mems jobs where possible for the duration of the war, she added.
 Mrs. Mary Dewey of the local branch of the U. s. Employment service which is cooperating with the Women's Employment Mobili- zation committee in the new pro- feet, addressed the meeting tel ling of the numerous jobs open for wo- men. Even women over 50 will be able to contribute greatly to the war effort, she said, by taking available jobs in offices, in the land army, and in factories. She pointed out that Civil Service commission has changed the age limits for typists and stenographers so that women over 50 would be able to qualify. Numerous other openings exist for older women she added. Sh9 also stressed the fact that women who have not worked for many years should not hesitate to seek employment as refresher courses are being conducted for many types of employment.
