be scattered over the whole
United States in such positions,
interviewing ospective
WAAC's, public relations work
with clubs, newspapers and 9TH
er organizations.
Lieut.. Pratt is most enthusiast
tic about the whole WAAC pro-
gram. In the beautiful setting of
the old cavalry post at Fort Des
Moines, the important work of
training women to do work
which has heretofore been done
only by men goes forward with
vigor and thoroughness.
HARD WORK
"The training was physically
hard at first" Lieut.. Pratt said,
"but you soon get used to it. All
the WAAC's are very enthusiast
tic, and doing SPLENDID job"
A big expansion program is
underway out at Fort Des
Moines, which seems to prove
the worth of the first WAACs.
All the new buildings are de-
signed in the same architectural
style as the old ones which for
merly served the cavalry - all
red brick, and the same plan for
landscaping is to be in effect,
tc maintain the ar y atmos-
phere as it has been for year.
KNEW ONLY TWO
Lieut.. Pratt says the climate
was much the same as Michigan
during her months there. She
met only two persons she knew
Esther Ruyle, South Macomb
county's first WAAC, who fol-
lowed Lieut.. Pratt by some
weeks to Fort Des Moines, but
knew a girl from Chicago.
RELAXES
Lieut.. Pratt's visit was made
on such short notice that little
entertaining could be planned.

hosts to a group at their Fair
Haven Cottage this evening in
her honor; she will be a guest
when Mrs. Lawrence Schott en-
tertains her bridge club at lunch
con on Friday, and on Saturday

0UARTERMASTER'S CORPS IS
PLAYING VITAL PART IN WAR

There may have been only tive
members of the quartermaster's corps
(reportedly) killed in action in the
last war, but the @. M. is doing its
full share in winning this one, de-
clares Pvt. Leonard Tomsich, Co. D.
End QMRTC, Fort Warren, Wyo.
Writes Private Tomsich:
st have been receiving The Ely
Miner regularly since I've been at
this fort. I'm very sorry for not writ
ing sooner but as you all know, while
at basic training and going to school,
one doesn't have much time.
"I've been here for ten weeks now.
The first five weeks we had our basic
training. 1t was a little tough at first,
but it didn't take long to tougher us
up. We were trained more like infan-
try-men and with a lot of marching
and drilling.
81 am now going to the supply
school. There We are learning about
supplying the army with all its neces-
stiles The squadronmasters are play
ing big part in this war of today.
The quartermasters supply, feed,
clothe the army and fight like infan-
try-men whenever necessary. In the
last war Q. M. were called sissys. They
say only two @. M. were killed when
box of corn flakes fell on his heal
and broke his neck and the other one
died laughing at him.
"I'm the only one from Ely in this
Fort as far as know. Tony Tekavitz
of Tower came down here with me,

ance of most of the many types Of

pert civilian and enlisted instructors
outline the fundamentals, using actual

mented by visual aids
Practical repair ard maintenance
work is done on peeps, jeeps, trucks,
and scout cars from the various units
on the post which are actually in need
of repair and inspection, thus giving
students an opportunity to do the
same type of work they will find

WPB TIGHTENS UP ON
NON-WOOL CLOTHES.

Simpication of NORWOOD clothing
for men and boys has been ordered
for the duration by the WPB. The
changes, however, will not be so no.
ticeable as in wool garments. Cuffs
and pleats will be permitted on light
weight trousers. Unlined jackets and
coats can have outside patch pockets.
Coats may be half inch longer than
wool coats. Norwood outercoats, such
as raincoats, are not affected.
Trousers, however, will be restricted
the same as wool pants on widths,
tucks, bellows, guSsetS, yokes, belted
backs, and so on.
Retailers are prohibited from SELL
ing unfinished trousers with more
cloth than necessary for a turn-up
This is to prevent selling of trousers
with enough extra material to permit
the buyer to have cuffs made.
The WPB made it clear that worn
trousers with cuffs needing altera-
ton or repairs are not affected by
the cuff restrictions. Cuffs on trousers
purchased before the effective date of
the order may be repaired or restord
if necessary.

but we are in different regiments. He
sends his regards to all his friends
and says he is feeling fine. I also
would like to say hello to all my
friends back home and in the service.
st thought army life would be tough
but it really isn't. It's just like one
big group of men at your favorite
hangs back home. They all have
better story to tell than the next
man. We really have swell group of
men in our barracks. And another
thing is we haven't a thing to worry
about except good wife, anxiously
waiting for the war to end.
When We men in service read the
hometown news and see how you
people of Ely are in there pitching 20
help win this war, it makes us work
that much harder. Nice going. Keep
it up, and you'll all be seeing us boys
home soon. Keep buying those bonds
and piling that scrap and well soon
have Mr.. Jap in our lap.
1T sure is good to receive the old
hometown news and I want to thank
the VFW for doing such fine job in
aiding the many of us boys in every
branch of the service, here and
abroad. The Servicemen's Page is
really something I look forward to.
That's the first page I look at I've
found many of my friends addresses
on that page and we are now again in
communication. So again I send my
utmost appreciation for sending us
the best news We can get"

civilian MECHANICS Wanted
TO HELP AIR CORPS WIN war
Will be Trained on the Job
by Experts; Can Secure
Specialist Ratings.
AT LEAST 1915

Experienced mechanics and radio
men who want to serve in the United
States army air forces will be put right
to work upon planes and equipment
Immediately upon enlistment. Private
Harry N. Hagen, local recruiter, vii
lage hall, in charge of army recruiting
in Hibbing, says.
1.-The air forces need, right now, all
tie men they can get who are exper-
fenced in the use of hand tools who
can go to work maintaining and re-
pairing airplanes, engines, instruments,
guns and equipment" Private Hagen
explained. "They should be capable
of becoming noncommissioned officer
specialists, and some of them will be
trained for air crews, thus earning
an added fifty percent of their base
pay for flying duty.
Men who have been mechanics
of any kind-household appliance
servicemen, arm0rers or gunsmiths,
automobile mechanics, bench assem-
blers, bicycle repairmen, electricians,
jewelers., locksmiths, radio operators
or mechanics including amateurs,
metalwOrkers, telegraphers, watch
makers and repairmen, farm mech
anics, and others of similar trades
and crafts should be able to qualify.
"Of course" Private Hagen con-
tinued, "We don't expect a man who
has been, say, an electric refrigerator
serviceman to go right to work on an
airplane engine and fix it, He'll have
to be given some training. But he'll
be trained on the job-he'Il learn the
difference between an electric refrig-
orator and an airplane motor by fix
ing an airplane motor that needs
fixing, under expert supervision"
The army air forces, he pointed out,
need great numbers of aircraft me-
chanics, radiomen, armorers, and
metalworkers. Mechanics inspect and
repair airplanes; radiomen operate,
adjust and repair various types of
transmitting and receiving equipment;
ormorers inspect and repair machine
guns, cannon, cameras, bomb racks,
sights, and synchronizers; and metal
workers cut and form sheet metal,
using hand tools and Woodworking
machinery.
81 think this opportunity is one
many skilled men have been looking
for" Private Hagen concluded. "In
this way, mechanics and radiomen can
get the sort of service they want, at
the jobs most nearly like those they
have had in civilian life, with chances
for rapid advancement. The only re-
quirements are that man be between
Is and 40 years old, and able to pass
a simple test to determine his ability
to do the required work and to pass
the physical examination for field
service. He may be married or single.
eff they want further information,
tell them to come to me. The air
forces need them, and it's my job to
see that they know it."
