Alongside a fellow worked, Gladls Livens of the 4 line, seems to be doing as good a job as anybody else. Miss Livens, who stands three feet, nine inches, went to work on the big Liberators after three months training. She is especially useful In repair work on UN nose or toil assemblies.

Bob Oough, above, member ef the dwarf colony working at Hill Field works aa an Instrument Mechanic in the Instrument repair branch. Says he: "We still think we can do a man's Job and that's why we're here." , Careful, Don't Fall There M 1 the heterogeny of creeds, shapes and racial extractions that is the Air Service Command and on a larger scale, America! While Webster defines a dwarf as "a diminutive human being," he fails to note that they possess a spirit which has surmounted every obstacle to place them among the most valued and efficient employes of the "Keep 'Em Flying" services. Neither is size a just criterion of their ability, in the opinion of Instrument Repair Foreman Carl H. Larson, who has several employed in his department repairdelicate flight ing and overhauling instruments. . "We find them happy, industrious and efficient workers," Larson declared. "Their morale is high so high in fact, their ness tends to pep up the other workers in the department They take great pride in their work and are happy to be able to hold their place and contribute to the war efort." Spokesman and most colorful member unique community is Eugene "Shorty" Wolf, erstwhile vaudeville entertainer, rodeo performer and comedian who hails from Mitchivilla, 111. Classified as an electrical instrument mechanic. Wolf is 36 years of age and a bachelor, and describes himself as "1-and in the draft "because I am too short and they didn't have a uniform to fit me." Dwarfs have been rejected by the armed forces. Topping four feet by virtue of a flighty forelock, "Shorty" reaches his h from a specially built chair while his feet dangle 18 inches above the floor. He is possessed of a chest and a neck that requires a 16V,! inch light-heart- ed of-th- $ ii j A 4-- work-benc- FORMER HOUSEKEEPER For her father, tiny Gladia Pee Wee" Livens of Chisholm, Minnesota, is now employed on the 4 Hne and has ' proved herself particularly valuable in crawling In plane sections inaccessible to normal-size- d workers. B-2- iVbb Coll T . VRXY MWCV LACE: r- -rt 10 m&ri 44-in- ch -- collar. A dwarfs problems are legion. "Anything five feet high is a headache to us." Wolf observed. "We have to run to keep up with a normal person walking; people fall over us in crowded department stores and recently a cashier sold me a child's theatre ticket which hurt my pride more than my pocketbook. "We still think we can do a man's job whether in or out of uniform and that's why we're here. It's up to us to win the battle on the home front; our boys can win on the fighting front," Wolf stated. Whether it's stocky Bob Clough of Lincoln, Neb., and recently a proud father, or Miss Gladis "Pee Wee" Livens of Chisholm, Minn., as a mechanic helper on working the "B-2- 4 Line," the attitude is the same they're here to win the war. Tiny Miss Livens, who stands three feet, nine inches on her tip toes, kept house for her father before responding to the call for war workers. After three months training she immediately went to work on the big "Liberators" and is now as much at home crawling about the giants aa she was in her own kitchen. Particular use is made of her ability to work in such confined spaces as the nose and tail compartments, where fellow mechanics of normal size find access and movement almost impossible. The 'gyro," delicate and complicated heart of the automatic pilot which keeps a plane in level flight, ocupies the stocky Clough. Standing on a box or seated in a chair he carefully checks and regulates the Intricate instrument on which our flyers depend when visibility is zero.
