One of these is the triumph of women women on production and supply lines. This week, as the nation celebrates the first anniversary of the War Department policy of employing women in all jobs for which they can qualify, women at OASC and elsewhere can rest assured that the once solid prejudice against their employment has been broken, probably forever. Those doubters who said women were too weak physically, or do not have the capacity to learn skills, have been proved wrong in the teeth of the evidence which our war drive has produced. Those who alleged men could do better than women in any and all positions have lived to see a large variety of jobs being done better by women. Those who were opposed, simply on principle, to having women work have been forced to bow to necessity. In one year women have established themselves have shown time and again that they can equal men in most jobs, actually outstrip them in others. At the crucial moment they have nearly doubled the manpower output of the nation. Ogden Air Service Command has been foremost in the placing of women in wartime jobs. Today over 6000 members of what used to be known as the "weaker sex" have taken their places alongside the male workers at Hill Field. Throughout the Air Service Command, "the people's army of civilians," women are employed in many and important jobs. The jobs they fill are legion. They repair propellers and rubber gasoline tanks, they label and crate and store and ship in the warehouses, they install engines, work on' pistons, cylinders, crankshafts; they mill, they lathe, they weld, they clerk they are, in short, the workers of America's production line. . .
