200 Women Needed
By Anti.Aircraff
Artillery Command
By Beth Blaine.

By Beth Blaine.
The United States Army has
q Job for some two hundred
women-an urgent. important
job that will demand discipline
and responsibility and long hours
and much physical activity. It's
right here in Warrington at the
control center Of the Anti-Air-.
craft Artillery Command.
If you want to help win the
war the easy way you needn't
read any further because there
Is nothing easy about this job.
The fact that this control CEN
ter keeps track Of all airplanes
within q certain radius Of Wash
ington, gets reports from the
observation stations and filter
centers and plots the course Of
all planes as they move across
the area surrounding the Capital
speaks for its extreme import
ance.
If enemy planes ever attack
Washington 1t Is from this con-
troll center that the city's anti
aircraft defense will be directed.
That's how important it is.
Mrs. John David East is opera
tions aide for the center. With
her the job is a full-time one,
six days a week, from 9 to S
o'clock. She does the work be-
cause she finds 1t the closest
thing to the fighting front and
because she wanted q real war
job-and, believe us, she has it!
When Mr.. East came to WASH
ington to serve as assistant to
the Lease-Lend Administrator,
Mr.. Edward Stettinius, his wife
accompanied him. All the family
ties and roots were back home in
Brooklyn. There Mrs. East had
led an active life as president OF
the Settlement House. She found
herself in q new town with a
busy hard-working husband at
his ONCE all day and. for the
first time in her life, with time
on her hands" So. she went to
the once of Civilian Defense
and volunteered her services for
q good important and hard job.
And that's how she came to work
for the AAV.
Mrs. East feels that there must
be other lonely women, wives OF
busy war workers, wives Of men
fighting at the front who would
welcome a real war job II they
Just knew about it. Among the
volunteers already serving, she
told us, are several women who
have been evacuated from war
zones, wives Of men who have
been decorated on the fighting
fronts, second World War widows,
wives of men reported prisoners
of the Japs, missing In action,
ETC., and one young wife whose
husband was reported wounded
in action and blinded.
They are all women who are
fighting mad and would fight If
they could and they're doing the
next best thing to it.
Just now the AAV is working
to get volunteers for the sum-
mer. Vacation Volunteers" they
are to be called, and the AAV
will give them a special training
course of 10 weeks. For this
they hope to get young college
girls on vacation, bright girls
who want to work and who want
to help win the war as speedily
as possible.
If you are interested in the
AAv and will call Republic 51o5
and ask for Mrs. Collins she vii,
tell you just how to go about
volunteering your services.

War Workers Learmto Keep Fit,
YWCA Here offers Facilities
NINE. HALO,
By Beth Blaine

what effect has the war had on
young women's health?' we asked
Miss Irene Richards, who as director
of health education in four differ
ent YWCA headquarters has taught
over 10000 people to swim and
an imposing number to dance,
dive and play tennis, and for the
past IL years has been director of
health education at the YWCA at
Seventeenth and K streets here in
Washington.
Il find that, in general, the war
has made women more health con-
scious," she told us, particularly the
servicewomen. There's a dogged de-
termination on the part of the
women in uniform to keep their fig
ures within the confines of the uni
form issGed to them while they were
drilling daily at camp. They have
learned in their training the real
value Of health. They know that
they feel better, work better and
enjoy themselves more when the
proper diet and exercise keep them
at top-notch form. And when they
get their first desk job, away from
service discipline. they notice the
difference and they begin to do
something about it themselves.
Miss Richards feels, she told us,
that the opportunities offered to
American women in the service are
the most wonderful in the history
OF the country. Look at them" she
says. Their posture has never been
so good and there have been more
feet saved by their sensible shoes
and exercises than We'll ever know. -
Miss Richards continued: Girls in
general are beginning to show the
strain of longer working hours. 1t
shows first in their dispositions then
in their faces, then in their general
health. The strain comes not so
much in the effort NEEDED to work
the extra hours, but in finding time
for marketing, shopping, washing,
mendlng and the little household re-
sponsibilities which so many girls
carry outside of their war jobs
But many of them have learned
the value of good health habits and
proper relaxation, Miss Richards
feels. And if the YWCA records
