This can lead only to chaos and
injustice, because it imposes upon
employees the invidious burden of
making complaint and supplying
evidence that they are being over-
worked by their employers.
Surely this does not represent
the best thought of those who say
that we must preserve on the
home front the rights and liber-
ties that our boys are fighting
for on the battle fronts.
We believe that better results
could be obtained by a commission
composed of persons who fully
understand the situation both
from the employers standpoint and
from the employees standpoint.
Such a commission could extend
the hours of labor in war work in
all cases where it was found to
be necessary to promote war pro
duction and could keep matters
under lawful control.

In spite of the fact that all these
in a position to speak authorita-
lively on war production say that
a 48-hour work week gives the best
results, the substitute bill provides
a 52-hour week for women in all
establishments whether engaged in
war work or not. But the bill pro-
vides that any employer engaged
in war work may require women
to work any number of hours he
thinks necessary.
The employer is not required to
consult anyone as to whether or
not he shall suspend the low. All
he is required to do is to notify,
within ten days, the chief inspector
of workshops and factories that he
has done so. IF the chief inspec-
tor thinks it necessary and advis-
able he may refer the matter to the
State Director of Health, who may
order the employer to obey the

Glamour Gone from Jobs
A year ago there might have been
a tlnge of glamour to being a
WAC. Today the glamour is gone
and being a WAC is just plain hard
work-and plenty of it.
The dissolution of the WAAC and
the activation of the WAC as an in
tegral part of the Army has only
served to focus attention on the fact
that the job played by women in
the-Army is an essential one.
A resume of the progress made by
women-in-the-Arnny at Fort Hua-
chuca can best be summed up in a
statement by 1t Irma j. Cayton:
Our progress? We soldier like the
men. If we do our jobs, alls well
and good. If we don't do them, we
hear about it,"
Those skeptics Who witnessed
with misgivings the arrival of some
800 en-in-the-Army at Fort
Huachuca a year ago have been won
over. Today they consider the WACs
SO much part of the picture that
they are almost forgotten-unless

as time goes on this idea gathers
strength and increased application.
The WACs know that they will be
treated by their brother soldiers Just
as they deserve to be treated, no
more or no less; and any WAC, as
a general rule, who doesn't get
along with a soldier creates a bona
fide indictment against her own be-
havior.
I'm this short article cannot de-
scribe the great value, from various
angles, of the present WACs at Fort
Huachuca. All in all, they are re-
placing woman for man, in our war
effort here and in addition are Civ
ing us all a spiritual and cultural
uplift which only good American
women can give"

Being taken for granted is the
WACs' sure sign that their mission
has been successful. The WACs days
are busy. Their soldering" helps
several thousand men soldier"
Whether they voluntarily answered
the call of their country and joined
the WAC for experience or from a
patriotic urge to free a fighting
man, these women have blazed a
trail that will place them in annals
of history alongside other impor-
tant pioneer women.
Their work is now taken for grant
ed. Their jobs are now just estab-
lished routine-but it is an essential
routine that frees or replaces fight
ing men for the fighting that will
bring peace more quickly.

This is the voice of the Air-Waves
bringing to you the latest news
events.
Thanksgiving has come and gone
and we are still thrilled by the Won
derful dinner that was served by
Sou at its headquarters. Some of
the fellows wanted to know why
they couldn't enjoy a dinner like
that every day. Be reasonable, fell
lows. That's impossible!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, we
happened to hear a Sgt. in SOU
say that on last Thanksgiving he
was served SPAN and Spuds.
That Sgt. really had something to
be thankful for this holiday. On
last Thanksgiving he was facing an
enemy on-(that's a military secret).
Second to the dinner, we enjoyed
the wonderful game played by the
Sou against Special Troops. Both
teams played well; but the SOU was
just too much.
Now look out, boys, when you
are spending your cash,
For one days turkey you'll get
six days hash.
That's all, folks. Remember this,
however: don't tell a secret to a
friend. He may also have some
friends.

N. Y. Critic Praises
81. Rhapsody
(Contlnued from Page one


Sea Island" and Pilot" The first
of these was written by Capt. Ran
dolph Edmonds, theatrical officer,
and was satire on the theme of
women's place in the war. 1t was
played with engaging insight and
broad technique by Eugene w are,
Barbara Beckley, and Ruth t.
Pierre, with Herbert Glynn as the
MAC male Auxiliary Corps of a
future era.
"On South Sea Island" featured
the comedy team of Maceo Ander-
son and Eugene jackson, brace of
comics who spurn chuckleS and
smiles and go after belly laughs
and get them-With the keennesS of
a bucksaw. Theirs is an uninhibited
style of clowning that crashes
through gloom like a General Grant
tank. 1t is noisy, disarming and
surefire. This skit also included eff
fective costumes and scenery.
pilot was rowdy bit of merri-
ment about the veterinary duties in
flicted on an enlisted soldier. Law
renee Nicely carried the act and con-
vinced me that he would make a
postwar asset to the screen on a
par with Eddie Rochester" Ander-
son. Nicely has not only talent and
dramatic instinct; he also has an
amazing grip on the mood of his
audience. Another skit "A PIX Pres
ent for Lou" rounded out the COM
edy quota of the bill.
The most pretentious set was the
Arizona scene which opened the sec
ond act and threatened to stop the
show. The theme song was sung by
Pvt. Guy Broley and the WAC Choir
us. Songs by Vivian Ward, Orlan-
do Robertson, Sgt. Cook and Wabe
Wallace of the Stormy Weather"
cast contributed the serious musical
numbers to the revue. Also a Gay
Nineties sequence confected by 1t
Col. G. E. Nelson injected a Ziegfeld
note into the program. Three dance
numbers by Fayard Nicholas we're
polished off with the inimitable
and finish of that top
hand dancer and were received by
the spectators with the usual ova-
ton. And we, leave the mention of
the ladies of the chorus till the last
their oomph leaves us
The bul.- of the comedy Skits was
written by Ma Tor Wilbur Strickland
and the songs were the work of
1t. Col. C. E. Nelson. Capt. Joe Jor-
dan, Capt. Randolph Edmonds and
1t. Allen Brown. The arrangers were
PvtS. Henry j. Wells, Elwyn Fraser
and Austin Mccoy The production
was directed by Capt. Edmonds.
The revue was offered as pre-
sentation of Fort Huachuca talent
by the Special Service Division. But
I would cali it a four-star show in
any league, a sort of running mate
to This Is the Army" That's my
story and I'll stick to-it!
