Are you kidding? Of course I'm not kidding. You mean to tell me you have women in anti-aircraft batteries?

Hundreds of them.

Are there any jobs in Britain women don't do?

Why in some of the steel mills up north,

women are loading pig iron and shoveling coat. They also mix cement

when they do welding in shipyard. I suppose they announce your radio programs too.

Announce? They not only announce, the engineer programs here.

Is that okay, engineer?

Okay, good test. We're getting the feedback, okay. Quality merit sweeps up.

Go ahead. The The Columbia Broadcasting System presents an American in England, the fourth of a series of six programs written and directed by Norman Corwin produced by Ereda

Muddo and broadcast from somewhere in the British Isles. Joseph Julian the

rates and the original musical musical scores by Benjamin Britain.

Tonight, women of Britain. You stand in the lobby of the West Bend Hotel and look down to the crowded ballroom.

It's very lively.

Dancing is on full tilt.

There's a dazzle of beautiful women and evening gowns and officers in the uniforms and half a dozen allies.

It's all so gay you'd hardly think that there's a shooting war 80 miles away in the channel tonight. You move up from the ballroom

toward the main entrance. The lighting is dim, conserving electricity to save fuel.

Suddenly out of the haze, a magnificent number in a fur wraps,

whirled past you, leaving Eddie's a perfume in her wake.

You take a deep crack. Good evening sir. Hello call a taxi?

No, thanks. That's going for a walk. Very good, sir.
