Show I J THIS BUSINESS fL Jlk SUSAN THAYER fig wUl POSTWAR JOB FOR THE WOMEN Christine across the street whom I've known since she waved her first pink rattle at me came back home last week to marry her pilot and be off again. It's hard for me to picture that blonde mite in her WAVE blue, actually teaching blind flying! Aunt Matilda and I walked home from the wedding. "I don't know," she began disapprovingly. "All these women flying around and working in factories and driving trucks "What's going to happen when the men come back and want those jobs?" "Oh," I said, "I'll tell you what will probably happen, Aunt Matilda. Matil-da. Probably 90 per cent of the gals will take off their weldling helmets and step out of their overalls ov-eralls and run straight home to keep house just as they should. "I don't believe most of the women are working because they love to get out early on a cold morning no, or because they I want the high wages, either. They are only on the job because it has to be done and to keep busy till the men come home again. "Oh, I'll agree absolutely that if all the women who are doing such a grand job running machines ma-chines and ferrying planes and managing farms and other businesses busi-nesses held on after the war, there'd be a problem. "But they won't, Aunt Matilda," Matil-da," I assured her. "Well, I should really think," she conceded, "that Christine would enjoy a home and new recipes reci-pes and babies even more after all this war she's been through." "And don't you believe," I returned, re-turned, "there aren't several million mil-lion more just like her!" |
