County Manpower Seeks Women for Common War Jobs
County War Manpower Commissioner John B. Stevenson notes women outside war plants can aid the war effort in hundreds of ordinary roles. A list from the women’s advisory committee highlights jobs in stores, restaurants, schools, hospitals, transportation and utilities, plus agriculture related postings for rural areas. The aim is to free men for armed forces and place skilled women where needed.

Moravians Urged To Raise Flocks Of Chickens
Moravian communities are urged to raise small chicken flocks this summer to supplement meat supplies. A 2% to 5% pound chicken can be produced from 26 chicks in about 12 to 18 weeks. Space and basic equipment suffice, using Leghorn cockerats for quick fry weight, with eggs possible in fall and winter if shelters stay comfortable. Pullets should begin laying in six months to provide daily eggs.
