It's the Woman Behind
the Gun in Army Plant

WATERVLIET, N. Y.-UP-
1t used 10 be "the man behind
the man behind the gun" But
not so any more.
With $500 employees of Wat
ervliet Arsenal now in the arm
ed forces, thousands of women
and girls are now doing their
part in the Army's principal
cannon factory. Coupled with
the fact that most of them have
husbands, sons, daughters or
sweethearts in the services is the
satisfaction which comes from
the knowledge that they are do
ing an essential war job, and
finding ii an interesting and pro-
fitable occupation.
The arsenal shops first began
hiring women in February, 1912,
and in September of that year
more women were being taken
on than men. Over 5000 wo-
men and girls have been hired
for manufacturing operations to
date, many of whom are now
serving in other industries.
A list of the jobs now being
performed by women covers
practically the entire category of
occupations. An outstanding
example of women's work is the

mans job. Tool engineers from
large manufacturing concerns
have expressed amazement at
this accomplishment and doubt
as to their ability to perform an
equal job with skilled male
help.
Women are laying out rough
castings for machine operations,
finishing machine parts 10 gau-
geS preparatory to final assem-
bly,, inspecting the finished pro-
duct, marking the completed
guns at final assembly, prepar-
ing the guns for shipment and
even assisting in the making of
packing cases for shipment.
Women also make and prepare
the reamers for boring the can
non. They operate practically
all types of machines, handle
electric arc welding, gas weld
ing and brazing and cutting OPP
erations. They operate cranes
throughout the plant, electric
and gasoline tractors and trucks
inside and outside the shops. In
fact, women even operate the
Acton Diesel locomotive which
moves the freight cars through
out the arsenal railroad system.

|SHIPYARD NOTES
Bird ANNIVERSARY
Local Enterprise Has Be.
come States Largest
Industry

The North Carolina Shipbuilding
company, a subsidiary of the New
port News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company, observed the third
anniversary of the beginning of
its yard here Tuesday with the dis.
junction of being one of the coun-
try's most efficient leaders in mer-
chant ship construction and having
grown from scratch to the state S
largest single industrial enterprise.
Its employment rolls have in
creased from, a few hundred per.
sons to more than 10000, but as a
result of the manpower shortage
have receded somewhat during
the past few, months. 1t has been
the principal factor in the growth
OF Wilmington and its suburbs
from 46,500 residents in 1910 to
ar estimated 10000 today.
During these busy years the nine
way yard has sent 1875 Liberty
ships into the Victory fleet and
advanced well into the construc-
ton of the better and faster CO
vessels. 1t has launched II of these
latter ships and delivered eight to
the United States Maritime com.
mission. some of which have been
termed over to the Navy depart
ment for conversion into auxiliary
Naval vessels. The 1914 production
schedule calls for delivery of Sc
CTS remaining on the first con-
tract and an additional contract for
~ more such vessels assures full
production well into 1945.

The film, which included scenes

ether. also had scenes in it taken

on the restricted list and could
mt be shown to the general public.

with scenes showing Nazi para

tor said. rescuing Mussolini. for

with Hitler. and other high ranking
Nazi officials, was also shown.
Film taken from the Japanese
showed scenes of the bombing of
Pearl Harbor. Scenes of the Jap
planes taking off from aircraft car
r;ers to launch the day of in
fanny" caused much comment
among club members.
Problems of supply for Ameri-
ran troops in the Pacific theatre
were shown very clearly with
maps. revealing how the Japanese
supply problems were so different
from our own.
The Japanese, the film showed,
have an interlocking supply sys-
tenn. with each small base acting
as backstop for another. If planes
are destroyed at Rabaul. great
base on New Britain, other planes
can be Immediately flown in from
a nearby base. However, if Ameri-
can planes are destroyed in raid
on Guadalcanal, only a few re-
placements can be brought in from
New Guinea or Australia.
The German armies are very
well equipped, the commentator
said. They are also highly trained,
and each new division which goes
into battle is even better trained
than the one which preceded it.
German troops are better fed
and better equipped now than at
the start of the war. and the Ger

An indication of the good pro-

struction of Liberty ships is shown
on the number Of days it took to
build the following vessels:

10th ship, 1853 days.
Both ship, II days.

This was not accomplished with.
