Then the knowledge that they
were really working with their
men toward a common goal
would be bound to make them
feel a real satisfaction in their
jobs.
And living by themselves
would not be such lonely bust
ness if their days were filled
with work. With full-time jobs
to do, they wouldn't have much
time for useless worrying.
And their husbands probably

There is probably not a
prouder war worker in the coun-
try than Cecilia Richter, who
worked as tack Welder on a
ship that her husband, who is an
ensign in the Navy, was later as
signed to.
That is a strange coincidence
But it serves to high-light tbs
fact that the best thing to be
done by a fighting mans wife,
who is not tied down at home,
is to take a job that is just as
real a part of the war effort as
her husbands.
There are thousands of young
service wives who already are
doing that very thing.
But there are still thousands OF
them who are sitting around taxi
ing it easy, feeling that they are
doing their part because they
have given up their men.
Whether or not we have some
kind of national service law, as
recommended by Pre- s n
Roosevelt, those women should
realize that their country needs
them TO make their own contri-
buttons to the war.
Furthermore, if they took a
war job they would probably
find that they are far better of
in several ways.
First, Of course, IL they put q
