WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

The United States Cadet Nurse
Corps has exceeded its first year
quota of $4,000 student nurses by
500.
How come, when WACS and
WAVES are having SO much recruit
ing trouble?
1t can't be just because Uncle
Sam is financing the education of
the girls who go into the Cadet
Nurse Corps. The girls who go into
the WACs anG WAVES are getting
valuable job experience at their
casks, and many of them are be-
ing given specialized training
The reason the girls aren't hes
itating to become cadet nurses is
probably because nursing isn't any
thing new for women, and so the
girls families and the men they
know aren't prejudiced against it.
But the idea of American girls
going into the Army and Navy, and
Marine Corps as regular service
women is just too new and differ
ent for many people to approve.
Maybe Uncle Sam would have
done better at recruiting women for
jobs in the Army and Navy if he
hadn't offered them the chance to
become service women, but had Off
ereC them the chance at a job, in
Ssead of an opportunity to get into
uniform.
