some OF our nice soldiers. l know
that others are enjoying the contest
also. I've written one OF the soldiers
whose name was in your column

teresting letters and l do hope 20
be able To- receive other interesting
letters. So keep up the good work.
Respectfully, Cecilia Alexander,

Tho We love you
You've taken Our young men

Teamwork Vital In
 All-Out War Effort
Women Girls Called Upon to Support Sons, Fius-
 bands, Sweethearts With Armed Forces

'"You make 'em and we'll shoot 'em" is the message that countless numbers of U. s. Service men in all parts of the world are sending back to their wives, sisters and sweet hearts. That is their way of induc- ing their women folk to get behind the machines in an all out drive for production. The boys could go fur ther and say well fly 'em; we'll ride 'em; we'll sail 'em; and we'll drop 'em, for that is what it really means. Give the boys the materials they need and they will do their part in bringing this scrap to a speedy and successful end.
 With the armed forces calling more and more of the nations man. power it is up to the women to take their places. It is estimated that be- fore another year passes millions of women will be engaged in mechan- ical war work.
 The National Youth AdminiStra- tion, under the War Manpower Commission offers to the wives, sis ters and sweethearts of service men, or in fact to any young women be- tween the ages of IT and "A who are citizens of the United States an opportunity to receive work experi- ence and training under actual pro- duction conditions which will in very short time qualify them to ob- tain employment in war industries.
 The IVA operates fully equipped machine, sheet metal, patternmak- ing, foundry and welding shops under competent and well-qualified supervision. The girls learn the basic skills that prepare them for war plant work and during their in- struction period actually produce materials for use by the Army and Navy and other agencies engaged in war work.
 In addition to the above trades, work experience is also given in drafting, radio work, auto mechan- ics, and clerk-typists as a means of supplying girls for employment along these lines.
 The girls are trained 160 hours per month, at least 30 of which are on actual production and the bal

tion and timing in each man. We will teach the skills of actual com bat against the enemy, with no thought of making athletic cham pions. In each branch of our in- Struction we will give well-round- ed schedule designed to physically strengthen each man for the tasks ahead"
 Fundamentals Planned
 At the outset of. the program the fundamentals will be taught, begin ming with elementary work, which will give way to intermediate in- structions and finally advanced training in all the eight physical routines will be given. Standard tests to check on the physical im- provement accomplished will be ap- piled at periods to each student.
 Director LaFond said that the athletic leaders in all branches of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard will visit the Uni- versity campus from time to time to give lectures on various elements of the program and to make sugges- tions for correlating the civilian fitness instruction with new phases of actual military ises. The mili- tary athletic program will take front rank in student activities, although competitive sports, which have so long been a part of c. us extra curricular activities. will be con- tinued.

Washington, D. C., Oct. Especial compulsory physical training for every male flll-time lay student enrolled in all the schools of Catho- lie University of America began with the opening the past week Of the first semester of the 1942-43 school year, the Rt.
