Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

From 1941-1945, CF&I reported 18 women actually leaving service with the company to join the war effort in various positions. In contrast, there were 2,629 men who left CF&I service for the War. The majority of them returned to the company payroll as veterans. Thompson joined the WAACS, (Women Army Auxiliary Corps.)
