They wore gowns fashioned like that of the matron-of-honor in ice blue. Each maid and the matron car- The United States army wants more WACs—^thousands more! The medical services need 22,000; the air corps 20,000; army ground forces 750 and other service forces 6,000. Forty-eight thousand addi tional women to fill essential jobs in the regular army forces and to help ease the lot of the thousands of wounded who are arriving home in ever increasing numbers. When man was created, the “Powers That Be” must have real ized how useless he would become if left to wander about without a gen- ' tie hand to guide him out of the ' troubles he was sure to create for himself. So they invented woman to teach him common sense and in cidentally to take care of, or com fort, him when he was sick or down hearted. It was a grand job the powers did, and the magnificent deeds of women in war and women in peace illuminate the pages of all • history and bear glowing testimony to the wisdom of the Creator. Today’s story will add new pages, • written in letters of gold and dedi- S cated to the glory of “Women in *; War”: To the nurses who are dying ’j on the fields of battle at this very I moment; to the nurses aides who V toil so nobly in the hospitals; to the V WAVES, the SPARs, the marines i and the WACs—that league of no- f bility which gives all its time, and j sometimes its lives, in the service - of the nation whose men are dying \ that it may live. | The question is frequently asked: I Why are more WACs needed just as the war in Europe seems to be coming to an end? The answer is— First: There is a land and water empire in Asia—far greater in phys ical size than all of Europe, North £ Africa and Western Russia put to- 4 gether—which must be reconquered 4 from a desperate and clever foe. ^ There will be millions of soldiers and sailors involved; and doubtless there will be thousands upon thou sands upon thousands who will be wounded. Second: We have been reading the good news from Europe almost daily now for some time— but that good news was made pos sible through the deaths and crip pling of thousands of fine young men, and their number is being add ed to with heartbreaking rapidity. There just aren’t enough women yet in the services of the armed forces to handle the situation which is building up with such awful speed, and for this reason the U. S. army is bending every effort to en list more and ever more women into that grand body of American patri ots—the Women’s Army corps. Time will pass—as it always does —and the trials and tribulations of today will give way to those of to-' morrow. Recollections of the hor rors of war will become dimmer and dimmer, and the raconteur who harps upon his experiences in Glo-. 1 ] bal War Number Two will be just as much a bore as the one who to day dwells upon the miseries of Glo bal War Number One. But one thing never fades in the memories of those who served, nor for that ^V*V matter in the consciousness of their children--: The simple fact that X they did serve their country when V it needed them. Today the same V opportunity to leave that proud her- itage is given to woman in a more \\ realistic manner than in the last * > war. Today she can become a sol dier in the regular army of the United States; she can don the same F t uniforms which Generals Eisenhow- ^ er and Patton and Bradley, Admiral j Nimitz and General Chennault are £- wearing with such brilliant distinc- tion; and in the days to come she ,4 who served can be justly proud if 1 she hears—“My mother and father both fought in the greatest war of all time.” * times I could hardly put one foot before the other, as the saying is. “But thanks to the grand relief Retonga brought me I feel like a different person now.
