The letter follows: I am well and hope you are all the same. I sure would like to see you. How is dad? Tell him hello for me. You go to the Red Cross and aee what you can aend me.

GRANGER accomplishments Spectacular are still the order of the day for many over-ag- e destroyers which were transferred to Great Britain by the United States Navy almost three years ago. In spite of the fact that they had long since outlived their normal period of usefulness when they were exchanged for naval and air bases in British possessions on this side of the Atlantic, these fifty destroyers have made a tremendous contribution to the fight of the United Nations against the Axis. Over-Ag- e D troy era While these over-ag- e destroyers have been used for the most part to convoy troops and materials to the widely scattered United Nation's fighting fronts, yet th ir seaworthiness has kept most of them constantly on the rough and dangerous job of convoying United Nation's ships over difficult ocean runs and they have established records of endurance if not of speed.

Two years before America entered the war, women totaled only 600 on the FBI roster. In the autumn of 1941, realizing that many FBI men would soon be In uniform, the training of women was begun. Six months later almost 4,000 women were at work, and that waa only the beginning. By spring 1943, there were 7,800 women in FBI more than half the total personnel of 13.000 In field offices and Washington headquarters, almost double the number of women a year ago and 13 times as many women as In preg, war days. Some of the busiest women are the communications section. Wartime business of the FBI often depends on quickly arranged longdistance Inter-offic- e conferences. A wasted moment or mistaken order may mean the escape of a key sabateurs. Between 14,000 and 15,000 calls are handled dally through FBI telephone switchboards. Getting a job with the FBI is no simple task, so these women who hold them are justly proud.

She must have either a college degree with a major in modem languages, mathematics, physics, chemistry or astrology.
