They are areas where available jobs are expanding almost twice as fast as the Increase in population and which have good growth potential over the projected future. Neither field requires heavy physical labor or grimy working conditions, and the starting salaries compare favorably with those of college graduates, In an age where women's salaries average only 60% of those of men, women can no longer let themselves be shut out of good paying, Interesting jobs and challenging work.

They offer education in the electronics and drafting fields. Recently, Judy Rainbrook joined the sales staff to get the message out to women in the Cleveland area. Judy has developed an educational program on career opportunities for women in the fields of electronics and drafting, and will be presenting it in various community settings around Cleveland.

If you know of any married person who has been refused an individual auto insurance policy, please ask them to write: ACLU Women's Rights Project, 2108 Payne Ave., Room 507, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, or call 781-6276.
