(Original Caption) These girls are learning to be sawmill workers while their boy friends serve in the armed forces. Employed at one of the first women operated sawmills in the country at Turkey Pond, (left to right) Norma Webber, Barbara Webber, and Mildred Soboll. Use "pick poles" to pull in the logs floating in the mill slip. In view of an anticipated shortage of skilled worker, the New England Timber Salvage Corp. is training a group of eight women to operate the mill. If the measure is successful, other mills throughout the country will employ women for the "He-Man" jobs.
