II have enjoyed my work tremend-
ously," the WAAC directors secre-
tary says. Il think Mrs. Hobby is
everything good that anybody has
ever said about her Like most people
I feel very great respect for her and
admiration and also great personal
regard.
Il have travelled with her several
times to Fort Des Moines, and the
effect of the whole organization, and
the feel of the place, have been an
inspiration. I thought, however,
that although everything I did was
directed toward it, I was not really
in 1t. So now join up completely
and I want to be placed and serve
wherever they think can do the
best job"
