By RUTH MILLETT
She is the mother of four child-
ren, aged respectively 15, 6, 3 and
2 years old.
She has put the younger child-
ren in a nursery school, taken a
war job—and here is how she is
thinking about the situation:
"I believe the children are bet-
ter off than if I were with them
all day, for they have supervised
play outdoors and in bright
rooms. Their teachers learned in
college how to amuse children
and how to get them to eat and
take naps.
Let’s not kid |ourselves—we
women who are in full-time war
jobs or who are considering them.
Our children aren’t going to be
better off in u nursery school.
They aren’t going to be better
off with a mother who must put
her job before their wants and
their needs—a mother who has
little time for them.
We are just rationalizing if we
tell ourselves our children won’t
suffer from giving up their mo- j
thers to a war plant.
Here is the true story; The wo- I
man who goes into war work can
contribute toward the family in- i
come—maybe help buy a home.
She will be helping Uncle Sam.
But it is doubtful whether she
wouldn’t be helping him more, it
she is the mother of small child-
ren, by staying home and taking
t are of them.
CHILDREN COME FIRST
She will undoubtedly find
working in a war plant easier than
If usework, if she is the mother of
several small children.
But children are a woman’s job
and her first duty is to them. Un- 1
less she can’t feed them otherwise,
a mother of small children should
not kid herself into thinking she
is a heroine if she goes out and
gets a war job.
She isn’t. If Uncle Sam needs
her worse in an airplane factory
than in her own home taking care
of her own children—he’ll tell
her so. Until he does, she had
better stick to her woman's job.
If we women mess up the lives
of a whole generation of children
—just because we couidn’t resist
a pay check or the urge to be
"heroines" — we aren’t very
bright.

OUR FIGHTING MEN
THANK YOU, TOO
...for scheduling your trip to avoid
week-end travel
Transporting twice as many
passengers as in 1941, with
the same number of cars, is
one of Santa Fe’s war tasks.
This means every car rolling,
all the time.
No longer can cars be con-
centrated at certain points to
take care of anticipated heavy
loads, because all available
cars are busy somewhere every
minute of the day and night.
The load itself must be
evenly distributed. So please
schedule your trips to avoid
week-end travel.
Our fighting men mostfre*
qucntly receive their fur-
loughs on week ends. If you
will make it a point to do
your traveling midweek,
Santa Fe will thank you sin-
cerely—and our fighting mea
will thank you too!
