Prove Their Efficiency in Optical Plant. i ATLANTA ?If you think - shap- i ing curvej always has been a worn- j an's job, you're thinking about the wrong kind of curves. The art of shaping curves spectacles? the kind you look through, not at?is an entirely new accomplishment for women. It's another field open to them as a result of the war. Take the case of the Southeastern Optical company, one of this region's largest manufacturing and distributing optical firms. The mechanical departments were stalled practical- : ly 100 per cent by men and A. T. j Vannerson Jr., manager, admit* i frankly he was skeptical whether women could do the exacting work required. But that was before the draft started taking employees who had spent years learning the trade. So Vannerson ?and others In the industry?hod to call in women to | fill the gaps. Now girls arc performing every type of work in his shops. In the regular shop, where the usual glasses are turned out, there are as many women as men. In the military shop, the only employees who don't wear dresses and smocks are the foremen. Operating on a subcontract for the army, this shop makes glasses for use by bespectacled soldiers when they wear gas masks. "You've got to give them a pat on the back," says Vannerson. "They're stepping right in and doing good specialized jobs. "In the matter of neatness and detail their work couldn't be bettered by men." Vannerson agrees that women are "probably a little more appreciative of detail." It is rumored about town that then* w as a two star general at the Southern Aviation f.eld all day today. We wonder why the Army didn't give th<- press a break.
