TELEGRAPH MESSAGE GIRL AT GORE
The releasing of men for military service has provided new opportunities for women in the various branches of the Post and Telegraph Department, and during the last few months there has been a big increase in the number of female employees. Besides the telephone exchange, women are being employed in the telegraph offices, at the public counters and as postwomen, while telegraph message girls have also been appointed. The first telegraph, message girl to be appointed in Southland is Miss E. I. Grant, of Gore, who is attached to the Gore branch of the Post and Telegraph Department as a junior assistant. Miss Grant was appointed some time ago. Ten women are now employed at the Gore Post Office. Seven are in the telephone exchange, two are at the public counter and one in the telegraph office. It is also understood that there is a possibility of postwomen being engaged at Gore in the near future.
