planned. Its simply never
opened"
But it is not entirely the fault
of business, industry and Govern
ment that a prejudice against
older workers exists, Miss Randall
believes. Women must look at
themselves and develop skills and
attitudes that will be valuable to
an employer. It has been SCI
entifically proven that "old dogs"
can learn new tricks.
Women should regard marrying
and raising a family as their most
important contribution to society.
Miss Randall added. But they
should also remember that a job
in the working world will actually
take more of their time than child
raising. The latter consumed all
of a waman's time when she died
at 40. But this hardly applies
when she lives to be 80.
Many single women make the
mistake of making their job their
life, Miss Randall has found. De-
veloping broader interests would
offer more possibilities in the en-
ployment world and for successful
living as well, she feels.
Women have a different work
pattern than men, Mrs. Mary Hill
ton. chief of the Research Division
of the Women's Bureau of the De-
partment of Labor, remarked.
Women frequently work in their
early years, retire to raise a fam
lily. then re-enter the labor mar
ket years later. Some find that
their skills are outdated. Some,
indeed, have never worked before
marriage and enter the labor force
for the first time in middle age.
The largest number OF women
in the labor force are in clerical
Jobs, she added, and there seems
to be a premium on youth In
these jobs. The older worker must
be flexible and find a spot where
her maturity will be an asset and
her age will be no handicap. Some
older women have found part
time employment an answer.
In spite of the problems in
volved, older women are in a bet
ter position in the labor force
than they ever have been. Mr.
Charles O'Dell. chief of counsel.

Stituted 31.5 per cent. More women
are working than ever before, he
added. There have been increases
in the As to 65 year old group
that entered the labor market
during the war, and in the 18 to
25 year olds, and q decline in the
group between IS and 35.

uted to the high cost Of living.
The trade and service industries
absorbed many women who were
formerly engaged in war produc-
ton. The fact that so many
women are still in the labor force
today is an indication Of their
competence, Mr.. ODell feels. In
areas where economic conditions
are good, older people need not
worry, he believes. But when an
area or an industry is hard hit,
older persons are the first to
feel the blow. They may be the
first to be dismissed. And finding
another job is doubly difficult for
them.
Should a full interna-
tional emergency develop. women
would have to be called upon i'm
mediately to help meet the situa-
tion," Frieda S. Miller, director
of the Women's Bureau Of the
Department of Labor, stated re-
Gently. They constitute the only
sizeable labor reservoir for indus
trial production, for essential
volunteer work and they have an
established position in the armed
services"
The war showed what older
women could do, and in national
emergency they will no doubt
again be welcomed into the labor
force. Yet, strangely enough, in
times when national defense is not
accelerated, the work which wom-
en- have done, praised as highly
satisfactory by many employers,
is not enough to eliminate the
prejudice against them, especially
older women. The forthcoming
National Conference on Aging
hopes to stimulate study of the
skills, abilities and efficiency of
the aged.

his pamphlet Women Go to Work
at Any Age, refers to the classic
story of the chamber of commerce.

At the end of the tour the

these older women when the war

Do you come home from a vaca-
ton loaded down with new cook
ing ideas you've picked up here
and yon? We all do, I think, and
here are some of the ideas I added
to my own files while on vacation.
You may like to give them a try.
Several times since moving to
Memphis my sister-in-law had
written asking. me to send her
fresh ginger root. wondered what
on earth she was doing with so
much of it. Part Of my vacation
was spent visiting my brother and
his family and ] discovered the
mystery of the ginger root. It's
a trick she picked up from another
Navy wife who spent a tour of
duty in Hawaii and a good one
1t is, too.
First wash a good sized ginger
root Cor two small ones) in clear
water; slice very thin but do not
peel. Put the paper-thin slices
into a quart jar and add about
five cloves of garlic which have
been sliced once in half. Fill the
jar with soy sauce and keep in
the refrigerator to use as a ma
rinade for steaks. cubed steaks,
chicken or spareribs. When you're
ready to use 1t. brush the sur
face Of your meat generously with
the mixture. using pastry brush.
Let stand Is to 80 minutes for
the meat to absorb the flavor.
Then broil. grill or bake as usual.
The combination Of garlic, ginger
and soy sauce imparts a delicious
flavor 7 think you'll enjoy.
A ham recipe that was new to
me is done in this fashion. When
you buy a thick cut Of ham for
baking cut off all the fat around
the sides and dice very fine. If
the ham is lacking in fat, ask your
meat man to give you an extra
piece. For the average center cut
OF ham approximately inches
thick you should have about a cup
to cup and a half of minced ham
fat. To this add u to "a cup Of
brown sugar and " to ~ teaspoon
ground cloves. Mix well and pat
over the top Of the ham slice.
Bake as usual. When done you'll
have crispy, delicious topping to
the ham. A good bit Of fat cooks
out Of the topping which can be
used to make gravy If you like.
We were invited to a green"
spaghetti dinner one evening and
went more or less with tongue
in cheek, If you know what
mean, but it turned out to be one
Of those dinners you never forget.
When we arrived the host was
busy in the kitchen with mortar
and pestle pulverizing a mixture
Of fresh green basil, garlic and
oil. He had saved this ceremony
so we could see it from the begin
ming. You know these men cooks,
it's hard to pin them down to
exact amounts but as near as I
could judge he had used about
u to y cup of fresh basil leaves.

With our national defense pro-
gram going into high gear, women
workers, young and old, are being
welcomed in Office and factory. the
Department of Labor reports.
But in more normal times, life
does not begin at 40 for women
in the working world.
AS a matter of fact, it frequent
ly ends at 35. Many employers
have been found to regard wom-
ans hirability at an end after
her 35th birthday.
Most women work because of
economic necessity, Department
Of Labor studies have revealed.
What's more, in a society that is
becoming increasingly long-lived,
women are living longer than men.
Seven to ten years Of widowhood
are predicted for women in the
future on the basic of their greater
longevity.
Women in general have been
historically a minority group in
the labor market. When shift
for the worse occurs economically,
women lose their jobs first. And
older women. minority group
within this minority group. lose
their jobs before younger women.
Actually, in relatively normal
times the older woman's greatest
problem isn't keeping a job. 1t is
getting a job after she has passed
her young adult years that pre-
sents the problem.
Paradoxically. according to Miss
Ollie Randall, age itself may sup
ply o satisfactory answer for older
women who must work.
Service jobs, rather than mer-
chandizing or purely professional
jobs, offer the greatest possibili-
ties for older women, Miss Randall
believes. And our aging popula-
ton will need more of these very
services.
Miss Randall, consultant on
services for the aged Of the Com
munity Service Society Of New
York City, feels that in the home
medical care and the visiting
homemaker services that are being
experimental with throughout the
country, in visiting nursing serv-
ices, in occupational therapy ano
In recreation work older women
can find work they are uniquely
fitted to do. Such work is directly
related to the jobs they have done
in their own homes for years.
Places where these skills can
be learned should be established,
Miss Randall believes. Also. such
jobs should be recognized as dig
nifled occupations, and not re-
garded as of servant status.

isn't slammed in the faces Of old
