W VasoRuB WOMEN FROM RURAL HOMES ENTER ARMY SER VICE Woiiitm w well u men on the farms and in the villages and small towns of the country are forging tc the front in America's united war effort. The 2,000,000 men in our Army arc not only supported by the patriotic civilian work of an increasing number of women and girls who are rendering efficient % service in their home communities, but thousands of wives, sisters and sweethearts of the men in the combat forces are enrolling for active duty. Those now engaged in full time activities are members of the Army Nurse Corns, Reserve Nurses, hostesses in the various cantonments and dieticians in the hospitals and food consultants in TV the War Department and the camps. Pour-H Clubs have furnished idea) training for many young women now serving in auxiliary branches of our Army, according to a recent announcement by authorities in Washington. Conspicuous among the 4-H Clubbers now working for Uncle Sam is Mrs. Meryl P. Stone, designated as an associate of Miss Mary Barber, food consultant to the Secretary of War. It is Mrs. Stone's job to assist with menus for the soldiers ini the camps and , in the held. She will sample the "chow" and will be available for conferences at the Army Bakers and Cooks schools. Mrs. Stone declares that the foundation for her present post was built during her 4-H Club days in her home town of Black Earth, Wisconsin. (That quaint name, bv the way, comes from the dark, rich soil in the valley of the Wisconsin river.) A 4-H Club flourished in her community and Mn. Stone wH8 one of its n tive members. Under her leadership the Black Earth or. ganlzation won honors at a 6ountv k fair for akill in sewing. After high school Mrs. Stone entered the University of Wlaconsin to major in home economics. Following her graduation she served an Internship aa a future dietician at the University of Michigan and established a naming course in dietetics for student nurses at a Detroit hospital. Going to Naw York she joined the staff of a large commercial concern and continued her work in preparing recipes yand balancing their caloric contents for hotels, schools, hospitals and other insti. tutions. Romance and marriage came for the former Wisconsin 4-H Club girl and last summer with her lawyer husband, she moved to Washington, where she continued active in her chosen field. The story of her career is not unlike that of many other women on duty for our Army, aa shown by the files of the War Department. Four-H Club girls recruited from various sections of the country have answered the call to service and are giving the Government the benefit of their skill, thrift and efficient training. As home demonstration agents, many youi* women from rand communities are strengthening tha civilian forces, and in other fields they have shown resourcefulness and initiative in their patriotic effOt Is for the nation's defense. , ?Photo by UA. 8tonal Corp# MRS. MERYL P. STONf NAVY NEEDS OFFICERS AND MEN FOR BOTH 8EA AND AIR DUTY To keep up with the great naval building program, the United States Navy nee^ls a minimum of 7,000 college senlortr or graduates between the ages of 19 and 28, Secretary of the Navy Knox recently announced. Jobs In the Naval Reserve are open in all branchee, calling for deck, engineering and flying duty. Seniors now in college would not be called until after graduation. Further, an additional 7,000 juniors are being enlisted subject to call following graduation In June, 1943. They would receive summer training, but would not be subject to active duty before that time. This long range program is designed to keep the Navy supplied with officers as more and more planes are added to tho naval air force. Young men in the 19 to 28 age groups must volunteer their services in large nutnbers if the Navy is going to get proper officer material. The fact that war in the Pacific must be waged primarily by the Navy and that warships are necessary to see that Great Britain and Russie receive food and materials of war make the call doubly important. If naval enlistments continue at their present high pace, it is probable that the officer lists will be taken care of in short order. The need of men is not confined to tho officer class, however, and the Navy is redoubling its efforts to step up enlistments in non-commissioned groups. The number of men required to man the proposed two-ocean Navy and to keep the largo number of new planes in the air has caused the Navy a few anxious moments. If necessary. a limited number of selectees will be assigned to the Navy. Juniors and seniors in college and other young men with college degrees should understand, however, that the Navy is offering them no picnic. Those who enlist will receive commissions if they are found qualfied. But those who are not believed qualified for commissions will be given other jobs, subject to the discretion of the Navy. If they fail to qualify as an officer, they will not be given their discharge if it is found they will be useful in other capacities. Retired Minister Dies The Rev. L. L. Bedenbaugh, 71. a retired Methodist minister of the South Carolina conference, died at the McLeod infirmary after an illness of a week. Funeral services were held in the Marlon Methodist church at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning.
