Summary	A widespread need exists throughout the United States for clean, adequate, respectable housing at reasonable prices for young plant workers... Many householders have shared their homes with young women war workers during the present emergency as a patriotic service. Will the actual experience with the modern young women as a paying guest in numerous households vanquish much of the traditional prejudice against women roomers? The answer to that question is the responsibility of the young women war worker herself... The point is clear from the community reports used in this study that at present there is inadequate control and regulation of boarding and rooming houses throughout the United States. In view of the special public-service character of the boarding-rooming-house business, it is important that these controls be developed to meet the needs of women war workers.--p. 9-10.
