Description

Behind the Bell: Do you realize that we are at war? Soon every girl and woman who is not now employed in a war job will be drafted, or at least called upon to volunteer for some service. Already women are replacing men in vital industries. They are classed today not only as housewives, but as draftsmen, factory workers, welders, farmers, lumber-jacks, laboratory scientists, doctors, mechanies, truck drivers, taxi drivers, mail carriers, chemists, and factory managers. This means longer hours, harder work, added cares and duties, less time for recreation, and less time for unessentials. But how can these women keep on unless they are physically fit? They can't and they realize it. Classes in physical training are being organized and conducted all over the country to condition and prepare the women and girls to take over these necessary positions.
