RUSSIAN LADY GOES DOWN TO SEA

was into the Institute of Engi-
neers of Water Transport, where
she studied four years and emerg-
ed with two diplomas = one as
engineer, another as mate. AS
soon as she could. she went to sea.
Orlikova is the only woman
mate on her ship. But she does not
intend to stop there. Her ambi-
ton is to be a ships captain. She
thinks in three more years she
could make it.
ITS good to have women on
ships" she says. They keep
everything clean and in good
condition. They are exact as doc
tors and radio operators. too.
And they are not afraid of any
thing"
Have any of Orlikovaas orders
ever been questioned because she
was a woman?
Never" she says with a grin.

Beginning to feel your war job
is pretty heavy to handle?
Then listen to the story of VAL
entina Orlikova, fourth mate on a
Soviet ship that transports lend
lease supplies TO Stains army.
In stormy weather or calm seas
she stands her watch on the
bridge, helping direct navigation
through mine-sown and submarine
infested waters. she has directed
the evacuation of ship struck by
a mine and has lept from a flan-
ing vessel into the sea, to be res
cued by a submarine And she
talks about it more calmly than
most people discuss rationed
shoes.
Any preconceived pictures you
have of Soviet women as tall hus-
gy Amazons will have to be revis-
ed for Orilkova. She is four feet
ten. Gray eyes. Brown hair. Slen-
der little figure in a dark blue
suit. She is the wife of a Soviet
seaman and the mother of a two
year-old boy.
In the Soviet Consulate in New
York, where she is making brief
visit, Orlikova talked recently of
the disaster in August 1941, when
her ship struck a mine in the
North Sea. She speaks little Eng
lish, Hut she prefers to talk
through an interpreter.
We were bringing wounded
Red Army men home from the
Murmansk sector" she said.
There were ten women on the

Running through fog. we
struck a mine. II ripped hole
in the ship. Part of the crew
pumped water. But the ship be-
gan to list. We couldn't tell
whether we could save her or
not. So I was ordered to direct
evacuation of the wounded SOL
diers in IL life boats. When we
got them off, the ship righted
itself. The sailors succeeded in
patching her. And after the
soldiers had scent about eight
hours in the boeis. we were able
to bring them back on board and
go on.

Sport Stuff
By Bus Bennett

In the c. l. o. Bowling League,
the former leaders, namely, the
Amalgamated Local 1853 team, have
taken a powder. In other words the
United Aircraft Local SAB team, is
now leading the league. These
boys have capitalized on the COL
lapse of the ex leaders. The mem
bers of the 1853 team have been
vanishing week by week, until
only two of the original men are
now bowling with the team. This
fact has been brought about by
the boys being either indicted
into the armed forces. or a change
having been made in their work
ing hours, therefore making it an
impossibility for them to continue
with bowling.
However, since all sports events
are now faced with the same prob
lens, we must shower praise upon
the United Aircraft team. Their
steady, reliable brand of play is
really what placed them on top in
the league standings. While there
are no spectacular players on this
team, they can all be depended
upon to give a good account of
themselves.
Denlinger, of Delco Local 755,
rolled a 226 score; and Unger of
Local 768, had a 20S. These were
the high scores of the past two
weeks.

MONTY-WARD FINDS
TOUGH CUSTOMER

Today it looked as though either
"Monky- Ward" would have to &C
cept the law of the land, even as
you or I, or that management of
the company would pass into the
hands of Uncle Sam.
The company's stalling tactics
in it's contract negotiations with the
CLIO United Retail, Wholesale &
Dept. Store Employees, brought
forth unprecedented criticism from
employer, public and labor men,
bers of the WLB. With consider
able heat the Board officials con-
demned the company for publicly
going back on it's promise to &C
cept union security when ordered
by FDR.
