port 10 the attempt 10 enlist WO-
men in the service, Mayor Gull
ley pointed out that donning the
uniform of one of the branches
for women opens the door for
learning any n of a vest num-
Der Of jobs at no expense to the
individual, provides adequate fl
nancial remuneration and gives
a woman the opportunity to do
as much for her country as the
man who actuelly fires the gun.
Every woman who answers
the call of her country is re-
leasing some man for active SER
vice, thus working toward the
cessation of hostilities," he de-
clared. THE Army alone needs
800,0 women, showing the ex-
tent of the demand for woman
power. The man the woman will
replace is anxious to do the jobs
which only men a do and the
government is anxious to have
him free for these jobs. The rea-
son for these recruitment surveys
is the need for haste. Women
are needed and they are needed
now"
with full realization that there
are many women who are re-
strained from accepting any job
by family and other obligations,
I believe, however. that every wo-
man who can should join one Of
the branches of the service A, H.
Meaehee, superintendent ~ edu~
cation III the county, said. The
| winning of the war is as much a
responsibility of the women as
the men, and while the men are
at the front fighting, it is an OBJ
legation of the women to do ev.
erything in their power. And
believe they will. for already
thousands of women Throughout
the country have donned the uni
form of our nation"
