one like Jane Darwell would be fine
for me- There is some talk that
Fay BANTER will portray Mrs. Sulli-
van. Nom turned to the film repre-
sentative with us and asked, who's
going to play dad?" He told her
that Pat O'Brien is up for considera-

1t is more than probable that Di-

unknown young men for the roles
which will show the boys from
around the ages of 6 or 7 until their
heroic death. There may be a part
for 2-year-old Jimmie, the son of
Albert, partly for whose sake Mrs.

OBSERVED APRIL 40

Major General Milton A. Reckord
commanding general, Third Service
Command, has designated the
week of April 4 to 10 as "WAAC
Week in the Third Service Com

The primary purpose for the OBJ
servance of this week is to inform
the public of the WOmen's Army
Auxiliary Corps. its purpose. its
organization. and the opportunities
offered to the women of our nation
to serve their country in this vital
component of the Army.
1t is planned to have a parade to
include soldiers and WAACS some
time during the week. Waacs will
make public appearances on the
stages of local theatres. There
will be special window displays,
showing the sort of work Waacs
are actually doing now at army
posts here and abroad which re-
leases an able bodied man for ac
tive, combat service. For example
driving jeeps, operating radios and
telegraph keys, instructing in the
operation of gliders, link trainers,
etc. There will be special radio
programs. widespread distribution
of literature, and newspaper adver-
tisements informing the public re-
garding the Womens Army Aux
iliary Corps and the important
part members of the Corps can
play to speed the day of victory
This will be done, of course, thru
out the entire Third Service Com
mand.
In Baltimore, the 3rd Maryland
WAAC Company, $50 strong, will
leave that week for training at
Fort Oglethorpe. All WAAC Re-
cruiting Stations in Maryland are
now accepting applications of quail
flied women who are interested in

mems Army Auxiliary Corps in
one day. If interested applicants
will call at one of the WAAC Re-
cruiting Stations any day except
Sunday, they can make application,
take the necessary mental and
physical examinations and then be
given the oath of office. To quail
fly women should be between the
ages of u and A; they should

after serving two months at
Guadalcanal. He was shot down
three times and is ready for more
action.
The score, however, is decidedly
in Major Callers favor because
during the same period he shot
down six Jap Zeros and seven Of
their bOmbers.
I'll always remember one of
those bOmbers," said the Marine
Corps flier at San Diego. Il saw
it coming and dived for it, execut-
ing what we call an over r-head

dropped into the water.

The second time Major Caller
was downedfi he was returning
from an interceptor flight and en-
cOuntered Jap planes. He knocked
down one bomber but as he pulled
out Of the dive, bullets from
Jap Zero hit his engine setting it
afire
Il was several thousand feet in

Caller explained. "The fire was

But the plucky Marine Corps
pilot had a longer swim the third
time he was hit.
Il heard several Jap bullets hit
my ship" he said, "but none

group of seven Zeros lowering

that swim-capture, man eating
sharks. poisonous stingarys and
the tide was turning-but | made
it,"
Natives Are Helpful
Major Caller encountered natives
when he reached shore. They as
sisted him in reaching his base.
Asked about the sensations Of a
pilot in combat, the major, a vet
eran of actions at Pearl Harbor
and Wake Island, explained: Il
think it's a combination Of every
thing. You're hot and cold at the
same time-just plain scared,
guess.
You realize that to hurry is
fatal. And then your training
calms you down. You do it just
like you were taught, just like
you've done it hundreds OF times
in practice.
THAT sick feeling every pilot
knows just before engaging in
combat disappears as he mixes
with the enemy"
There's Time For Fun, Too
There are some laughs, too, in
this grim business of war, Major
Caller related.
I'VE were attired in pajamas
late one night on Guadalcanal,"
said the major. I'VE were swap
ping yarns. Someone was in the
middle of an interesting story.
Suddenly the whine of shells and
the boom of heavy guns told us
to get the devil out of there-and

After the shelling had subsidized
we returned to our chinfest. A lit
tie later, someone noticed Smit-
tvs absence. Looking about out
side the tent, we called 'Smitty,
Smitty-where are you, old MANI"
AT first we could hear no an
swer; then his faint voice carried
over the field in the direction of
the dug-out:
Here l am, damn it, and some
