Facts About Declaration
Oh independence

Thomas Jefferson, who spent 10
days writing the Declaration of In
dependence, was only % years old.
Franklin was IL.
The declaration had been signed
five days before George Washington
informed the citizens of New York
City that it had been signed.
The original Declaration of indie
pendence was signed only by John
Hancock and Charles Thompson. It
was an engrossed copy that was
signed by Hancock and the SIS other
men. Liberty Bell did not begin to
ring until July 8, four days later.
The first public reading of the
Declaration of independence was
by John Nixon, July 8, at noon in the
state house yard of Philadelphia.
The first copy was published by
the Pennsylvania Evening Post July
6; the engrossed copy, nov displayed
as the original, "a not signed until
August 2, 1776. Two of ~Jefferson's
original provisions were rejected be-
fore the Declaration was adopted.

WOMEN'S POSTWAR JOBS

Between now and the wars end there will be much specu
lation about the future of the women in war industry when
millions upon millions of servicemen come home to take their
own places in the nations economic life. Already the federal
women's bureau has made a survey of the Detroit industrial
region, where five times as many women are employed in manu-
featuring as there were before the war says the Independent
Record.
The outstanding facts revealed by the survey are that rs
per cent of the women want to go right on working when
peace comes; that IS per cent are working because they have
to support themselves and others, and that 100000 more women
ia the Detroit area will want jobs when the war is over than
were employed there when the war began. Specifically, these
figures are alarming. They might, if not analysed, seem to be
prophetic of largescale female unemployment when the exper-
fenced men return to work in reconverted automobile plants.
That by no means follows. The presumption is that of the
rs per cent who want to keep right on working, most of them
would be employed somewhere, if there had not been a war.
Those for whom there is no place in a reJuvenated automobile
industry may, for the most part, have to return to the COM
nunities and working groups from which they came. Once
more they may have to seek employment as saleswomen, do
nestle servants, mattresses, clerical workers, teachers and
workers in plants that had been unable to continue manufacture
for lack of materials.
AS concerns the IS per cent who said they had to support
themselves and others, it is a fair question if this is not gen.
orally true in normal times of women workers throughout the
country. Some, doubtless, could live at home and be assured
Of subsistence, but they go to work either because an addition
ri workers earnings improve family living Standards, or be-
cause they want independence and social surroundings they
otherwise could not afford. They unquestionably list them
selves as forced to be sef-supporting.
Detroits women war workers, like those of other cities, did
not just spring out of the blue. They were attracted by good
wages and the prospect that by overtime they would have more
money to spend than they ever had before or may ever have
again. Theirs has been an abnormal prosperity, due entirely
to the war, and it cannot be kept alive by economic fiat.
Reimbursement will be difficult, but it is inevitable as part
of a wider REIMBURSEMENT which will affect everyone.

Letters
From Our Boys
and Girls

Continued from Page Three)

kSOllOiii0Co L W. IiLlCCI
Realizing of course that nothing
could take the place of home and
Montana, 1 find this the closest
thing l have seen since leaving the
U. S. 1t is truly a pleasure to be
here after spending II months on
the Russels, Guadalcanal and such
places where there is no civilian life
and the native labor parties cannot
speak our type of language.
People here are very friendly and
try to be very helpful, and at times
II find almost too much so because
they sometimes get in your way if
they do not know exactly what you
are doing. Nearly all of them
speak English, some very ~fluently.
Indeed they have gone through some
terrible experiences since the Jap
came. Definitely they have not re-
covered yet. 1t will take years
upon years for this city 1 am in to
be restored to its original form.
Of course l cannot say to any
large extent the damage or actions
of the Japs here. 1t is very horri-
Bile. I can say there isn't much left
and from the talk of the natives, the
atrocities of the Japs were too hor-
rible to mention.
Another thing we see here is a
tree other than a coconut. There
are some small mountains which,
if snow capped, would remind me of
the foothills of the Rockies. 1t re-
minds me of some parts of home.
My first night here was a pleasant
one, after setting up a temporary
camp, we promptly hit the hay, a
pretty tired bunch of boys. 1 was
awakened by the musical cry of a
baby. At first 1 thought in some
strange manner l had returned
home and it was Larry looking for
a 8 o'clock feeding. Realizing 1
was not home but in the Philippines
l settled down to a night Of slumber
and one of the most realistic dreams
of my past IS months.
Some of us have been invited out
w uillilCI diIu " opCiiu Vic C'ClllilS.
l have gone a couple times and find
that spending an evening chatting
can be completely relaxing and very
instrumental in taking ones mind
off this life of a G.. L. Chicken
and chow mein are the two most
popular foods for company in this
section.
1t looks like the duration plus
for most of us, so I'll have plenty
of time to write more. Am close
on the trail of Leonard Ernst and
may possibly find him before the
day is done. Will close with a final
word of thanks to the editors and
our other friends who make it pos
sible for we service people to enjoy
news from home through a great
source-Namely the Outlook.

Executive Director. the Associated Press.
AS the count stands today on world
press freedom, we either are on the
threshold of achieving factual world
news dissemination on a reciprocal
basis, or we are going to slip back
to the old narrow forms of national
ism, to selfishness and to physical and
psychological restraints which will
thoroughly stif1e the flow of free and
unbiased information.
If we are not constantly alert and
extremely careful we may lose the en-
thusiasm already engendered by the
war.
1t is constant battle, an unending
effort with many chances for back
sliding. Certainly it will be fatal if
the thing for which we are fighting
is established only as high sounding
principle but with no legal standing
and actual teeth in international law.
Freedom of the press only can prop
erly be attained when an intensive and
enlightened public interest has been
created in this vital subject.
No movement Of such Importance
and magnitude can succeed If it is
carried on only In the stratosphere
and by few zealots. The public must
be so alive to the situation that it
viii demand action to bring the efforts
to fruition.
! am happy to say That enough pub
lie attention already has been focused

unless we actually achieve our goal
we face the incubus of another war.
The most hopeful sign Of all that

Is to be seen in the forceful way in
which the American Society Of News
paper Editors has accepted the chal-
