VOX POP LETTERS » CONTINUED

The letter on this page is a sample of the kind of letter that
could be written by a girl working at the ordnance plant to follow
in a day or two the one written by a mane

It would probably be better for the Firepower Committee to
carry the idea no further than two letterse But if these two should
happen to touch off a spontaneous discussion in the colum, the
Committee would be very wise to watch it carefully and be sure that
workers who are confident of the safety of their work. continue to
plug that point,

Second Letter
Dear Editor:

I have read (name of worker's) letter in the paper last.
night and I just had to edd my two cents! worth to say that he's
absolutely right. ;

My family made an awful fuss when I took my job at
Sunflower, They said playing around with gumpowder was no
job for a girl,

Well, now they're so proud of me that sonetines it's
almost embarrassing’ And they know now that they don't need to
worry about mee Because it's true what (name of worker) said about
how safe it ise My boss showed me figures about that himself =
we actually have less accidents in our work than in most ordinary
war plant.

Most of my friends work at Sunflower and we're crazy
about ite Some of us have boy friends in the Army and we know
that if we lond the shells, they'll put them where they'll
do the most good and come home that much sooner.

With all the safety precautions, we feel perfectly safe at
Sunflower. But we'd be proud to work there anywaye Bataan
was no place for girls either, but girls like us wore thereée

Vory truly yours,

(name of girl worker)
