My hiking companion was a gnarled, fifty-five year old resi- dent of Douglas. 1 kind of hated to go along with him because it would slow me down. But he knew the country and as a consequence, we headed out for an overnight stay In the hills back of Juneau. Our packs slung tightly over our; shoulders, the first mile passed by quickly (my, how that old man can walk!). The second mile proved more difficult as we started to scale the side of a mountain (gosh, how that old guy can climb). My pack began to give me trouble and a jar of Mother Murphy's assorted pickles kept constantly nurging me in the middle of the back. The third mile was a corker. My pack magically changed from blan- kets and grub to lead ingots and ship’s anchors. My breath cs short wheezing gasps not unlike the opening of a rusty gate on a frosty morning.

Workine conditions, hours, recrea- tional facilities and many other things, of course, have much to do with it. As for the women them- selves, it is being recommended that employers who wish to avoid absenteeism should hire in this order (after overall requirements | of physical fitness, adaptability, ex- perience and attitude have been considered) : (1) Young, unmar- | ried women without dependents; (2) Married women, without chi ren; (3) Married women, children.
