WOMEN REQUIRED
JOBS IN THE SERVICES RECRUITS 18 TO 45 YEARS ALL TYPES OF WORK (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. New Zealand's total war effort, which needs the best possible use of men and women, demands the large recruiting of woman for various duties .in the navy, ,army ,and air force within the Dominion, said the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. P. Fraser, in a statement last night. The urgent call to-day, he added, was for women from 18 to 45 years of age. Positions were available for all types of employment, including shorthand typists, telegraphists" cooks and mess hands. Indeed, some of the work in anti-aircraft batteries was suitable for women. Some of the jobs required women of good educational qualifications, particularly in mathematics. Mr. Fraser added that it was not intended to take women engaged on essential production or who had been trained for important occupations in which they had replaced ’ men. There was, however, no reason why women in these industries should not make application as it might be possible at a later date to release some of the them for service in the armed forces.
