Fletcher spoke evenly and quietly. It was his own fault, of course. He should have taken Mayhewa advice instead of the offchance that Wilcox really had something. You may read this. He handed Pete the letter. Taus-Iis not only a substantial citizen he has a very powerful political sponsor."

(TO BR CONTINUED) IT just possible that you are missing an opportunity that is right at your door today? Is it just possible that some day in the future you are going to look IS back at these sad, terrible, glorious war years and ask yourself What on earth was I thinking about that I didn't get into the WACs? Which means get into the actual military service of the of them all, It greatest country wear her uniform, share her t take this opportunity to commend my old friend Mr. Richard Taussig to your kind attention. Mr. Taussig is a sanitary engineer of international repute. I shall regard any courtesy you can show him as a personal favor. I believe he Is especially interested in the more domestic arrangements of the military establishment, and I hope you will see your wsy clear to allowing him as much freedom for investigation as is consistent with the best interests of all concerned. I am looking forward to his unbiased report on the use we are making of the vast funds pouring Into our Caribbean bases. With warm personal regards, I am, very sincerely yours . . .

Colonel Fletcher smiled faintAre you sure this wasnt camly. ouflage? When you want to meet a young lady its best to just say so, d By KATHLEEN NORRIS great adventures, travel, learn,1 win your right to glory with America when the hour of peace and victory arrives. For generations for centuries this opportunity has been offered only to men; the excitement and satisfaction of acting acting with daring and confidence and heroism when the hour of national crisis arrives, has been monopolized by men. For them have been all the thrills, abandonment of routine, new sights, new duties, new friends, new terms and responsibilities. Uniforms, bands, the rare companionship of the camp and barracks the most absorbing club in the world have been theirs alone. For the women, increased home duties, dullness, waiting, praying, anxiousness.' Now that's all changed. Girls are needed and wanted and welcomed in the army now. And not girls only: women of any age between 21 and 44 can seize this opportunity to serve America, build a very bulwark of strength and inspiration behind our fighting men, and at the same time gain enough training, guidance, education, experience, to carry them into entirely changed and widened and bettered lives after the war. Opportunities for Wives Without Special Ties. The wives of service men, when without small children or other inescapable responsibilities at home, go into the WACs In droves. There is no better way to fill the lonesome time of waiting. Busy, healthy, allotted to the special work and the special niche for which you are most fitted, you can write to your beloved soldier on equal terms. Youll have your stories of camp life, the top sergeant, the drill, the companion soldiers of your company, to match his stories. And as nothing but the service interests him now, your gossip will be a thousand times more alive to him than were the old letters, the lonesome letters, filled with news of the tomato preserving and the buying of a fall hat.

Besides the ratification of dif lo-ttve- en rectly serving to preserve America, the women of the BAC enjoy these benefits: Training which will prepare a young woman for a ftostwar job. Good pay. Many noncommissioned officers make $138 a month. No living expenses, yet the best food and clothing that the world's richest nation can provide. Medical care. WACs receive army medical care which means meticulous attention to health and physical fitness. Such organizations as the WAC are proof of uomen's role in national and world events. diers and the girl soldiers, are perhaps the most fun of all. If you have any special gifts along these lines you may get, through your enlistment, a chance at an audience that won't forget you after the war. If youre 111. even to the slightest snlfile, the shining bright hospital and its staff take charge of you. WACa Permitted to Marry. What are some of the questions you want to ask? Yes, you can use make-uand curl your hair, so long as the latter clears your uniform collar. Yes, as an army wife your allotment goes on. Yes, you can fall in love and marry, while in the service. You can go to army dunces and find out what real rushing can be. Youll be invited to Service Club partiec. In short, you'll live on the terms of which all girls dream or at least did dream when 1 was a girl, more than 40 years ago. Terms of healthy activity, regulated work, interest, excitement, companionship, fun. And you'll have a chance to learn whatever you want to learn which I never did. You'll learn to awlm, to drive cars, to decode messages, to project movies, to cook, to' work in the pharmacy, library, hospital. Very high government officials have WACs as stenographers and secretaries now, in Washington. The men these thousands of girls replace are at the fighting fronts. Women working today in essential war industries, factories and farms, are doing a magnificent job. But leave that work to the wives, mothers, older women who cant qualify as WACs. Theyre being better paid than you will be. certainly, but lots of that p&y goes for things about which you wont have to worry, marketing, transportation, doclothes, rent, mestic be!p. And much of it isnt progressive; rivetting wont be so much in demand after the war. But what you get will be always like money in the bank. The right to call America truly your country, the country for which you fought in the greatest of aU the wars. The right to talk to your returning men on their own terms; no, you didn't sit at home and grieve. You got into uniform, perhaps to be sent overseas, perhaps to work here in the home camps, but always beside your soldier, always sharing with him the greatest experience of your lives. This may be the last war. We pray It wiU be, and we are taking steps, in the new enlightened, quickand' radio inened day of sure to make that it will formation, be.
