Trout fishing, however, con-

Women AdUised
To Aim for Jobs
In Health Field
BY Gretchen Smith.

Young women preparing for post
war jobs should give serious thought
to the health field, Miss Frieda S.
Miller, director, Women's Bureau,
Labor Department, suggested yes
terday in an address before the
Zonta Club at luncheon meeting
at the YWCA.
Summing up postwar job oppor-
tunities for women from available
statistics, Miss Miller pointed out
the health field is one which not
only will be unrestricted for women,
but which will offer increasing op-
portunities
"The field will expand due to
increasing concern over national
health" she commented. Not only
will there be great demand for
trained nurses, but women trained
in physical and occupational therapy
will be needed by the armed serv-
ices as we'll as civilian institutions,
she said.
Miss Miller quoted statistics to
show that even in pre-Pearl Harbor
days trained nurses had less un-
employment than any other Women's
professional group. After the war,
nurses will be needed not only in
institutions and for private case
work, but also in industrial fields,
where they are now being en-
ployed in increasing numbers, she
added.
Miss Miller cited Labor Depart
ment figures showing that approx
mately 100000 women are now
employed in work outside the home.
Some of these women will leave
their jobs after the war" she as
serted, but we believe at lease 49,
100000 will wish to continue self
supporting"
AS women will be obliged to give
up jobs for returning servicemen
more skilled in certain industries
and with longer service in the Jobs
to which they return, other oppor-
tunities should be made available to
women, Miss Miller argued.
She suggested that beauticians,
telephone and elevator operators,
laundry and cleaning workers re-
ctive higher pay and their work be
made more attractive so they will
return to these important services
when war plants are reconverted.
These occupations must reattract
people competent to render service, ,"I
she declared
The $4,000 women wishing to con-
tinue as wage earners should be as
sisted to retain employment, she
said, adding that their potential
Evening star., 1944-11-02

purchasing power will be of tre-
mendous Importance to the country
during the reconversion period.
Miss Miller's address was preced-
ed by brief talk on Girl Scout
Needs" by Mrs. j. Russell Franklin,
commissioner of the District Girl
Scouts. Mrs. Franklin told of the
war work Of Girl Scouts and of a
postwar program now being pre-
pared.
There are now 100000" Girl
Scouts in the Nation who are being
prepared to live happily, peacefully
and constructively,' she said These
girls will influence others. We will
have no trouble in adding to their
numbers, but we need leaders-vol-
unteers willing to train for this i'm
portant work"
Miss Miller was introduced by DR..
Inez Wilber. Mrs. Elizabeth Cox,
president, was in charge.

By the Way
RETH BLAINE

After the Great War Miss Cora A.
Fitton taught returning veterans
who had been blinded in action
Navy men who were patients of the
Naval Hospital and Army men from
Mount Alto. Transportation was
furnished them by the Red Cross,
to and from their hospital to the
Columbia Polytechnic Institute for
the Blind, where Miss Fitton is
home teacher. In this war Miss
Fitton is working with the blinded
boys at Walter Reed under the
sponsorship of the Red Cross arts
and skills program. She works
there as a volunteer and she is
chairman of that particular assign
ment.
At the institute she also has
charge of the management of the
shop where blind workers support
themselves and do a thriving busi-
ness Of Gaming chairs. Until re-
Gently the institute workers were
busy splicing ropes and making
knots for Army tents and are very
proud Of the fact that not one
was rejected by Army inspectors.
Miss Fitton teaches Braille at
Walter Reed and right now has
all the blind servicemen busy
making lambskin animals for
Christmas toys. She has taught
music to the blind, which she herself
studied at the Maryland School for
the Blind where she was graduated.
A native of Washington, she has
lived in the same house most of
her life.
She is quiet-spoken, gentle and
pleasant to talk to. Only the peo-
pie who have worked with her can
know how marvellous she is" a friend
without sight told us. Her entire
life is devoted to helping others
she has no thought other than
self1ess ones. To me and to the
hundreds of others she has shown
that even without light, life can
still be useful and worthwhile and
happy. She is pool of courage,

Invitations to the recital and the

Another exhibit which is drawing
the attention of members of the
