said.

While only 3 out of 100 female applicants may be successful in finding employment, Jawin advised against allowing fear of rejection to discourage further attempts. "In the past, educational ■ prejudice has often left women poorly prepared in the world of math, science and electronics. Now is the time to change that

image."

Guided by Betty Tocci of the Radio Shack in Marmora, the women were provided with an opportunity for "hands-on" experience

with the machines.

"Anyone with the ability to type 60 words or more a minute has an added advantage," said Tocci. She also noted that many home computers are no longer prohibitive in price and use no more electricity than a

100-watt light bulb.
