Picture Industry
Backs "WAC" Week
CONTINUED from FIRST rage,

behind-and at the front. For this
war is bigger, more terrible than
any in history. To bring it TO 4
victorious conclusion, the able
bodied women of America are need
ed as well as its men. From adj
Army commands come urgent calls
for more WACS-thousands more
are needed. Every day our Ameri-
can soldiers are risking their lives
and WACS can help them win their
fight sooner by taking over impOr-
tant tasks behind the lines-tasks
which can be done more easily by
women than by men.
This is the challenge for Women
of America-can they refuse to ac-
cept when it may be within their
power to help shorten the war?
