Women Are Needed
In the Air Forces

General H. H. Arnold's appeal for
additional Wacs to serve with the
Army Air Forces brought forth to-
day the announcement from the re-
cruiting officers located at 100 North
Potomac street, that while WAC en-
listments are increasing daily, the
new national goal of 100000 more
volunteers for duty in the AAF
means a higher rate of enlistments
for Hagerstown and Washington
County.
The commanding general recently
disclosed that 10000 Air Wacs are
now serving the AAF in 200 differ
ent capacities, handling such jobs as
Link trainer operator, parachute
rigger, photographer, weather OBJ
! server and photographer. General
Arnold declared that Wacs serving
on domestic air fields at overseas
air bases were performing many
technical jobs but that "the great
majority or Air Wacs are filling
less unusual, but equally essential
clerical, communications and motor
transport jobs"
Under a recent authorization by
the War Department women may
now for the first time request serv-
ice in the AAF upon joining the
Women's Army Corps.
1t was also announced today from
headquarters of the AAF- WAC re-
cruiting campaign in the First, Sec
ond, Third Service Commands, Lyn-
brook, N. Y, that 1t. Colonel Lin
vile K Martin, who has recently
taken charge of the campaign from
Maine to Virginia, will visit key
cities to discuss with women and
civic leaders the work of women in
the AAF.

s'You can shear sheep year after year, but
you can take his hide only once"
sThat is one of the hornely axioms often stated
by the man who heads the committee which
writes tax laws-Representative Robert l..
Doughton.
sFor 80 years Farmer Bob has been repre-
senting his district Of North Carolina in con-
gress. His nickname has stuck with him from
the days when he titled the soil and raised
stock. He later became bank president in
North WiIkesboro N. c. This background has
given the 80-year-old congressman conserva-
tive outlook. He believes taxes should be levied
merely to pay the bills OF government and not
for social reforms.
sAlthough our taxes have risen higher than at
any other time in American history, Doughton's
constant efforts to lower them are apparently
beginning to take effect. The last request by
the treasury department for 1917 billion dollars
bill passed by the house which provided for onl

Nazi Play Can't Get Going.

A play, written by a Nazi play
wright, was to have its premiere at
the National Theater, Oslo, Norway,
Twice the premiere had to be post
poned due to unforeseen" accidents.
There was a fire at the theatre, and
two members of the Norwegian cast
disappeared Now, the Nazis are
taking no further chances. They
have put the whole company of ac-
tors under police guard.

Housekeeping In Russia.

A Russian housekeeper says: cal
most every meal we eat reminds us
all how many good friends we of
Leningrad have throughout the
world. One day we had meat from
the Urals :. On other days we have
had smoked fish from the Volga,
canned reindeer meat from the
North, and sausages from Chicago
My tablecloth was made in an

The grapes in the window were

NOVEMBER 2:

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER p
 Mercury in benefic aspect domi- mates today Much will depend on war news of this date which may be too much censored.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration women may be rest less and uncertain in making de- cisions. Many war workers may shoy fatigue. Inclination to ask for pre- e-Christmas vacations or to give up important jobs should be overcome. Daily reports of United Nations victories should not di- minish devotion to duty in industry.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Ingenuity and sagacity will mark the plans for reconversion as they are put into operation. Under the goad of war needs American businessmen will have gained greatly in ability to control difficult situations. Many unemployment problems will be solved in 1945.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: AS the Japanese meet defeat in the Pa cific, underground influences will seek to remove prejudices against former residents of western states. According to the stars subversive agencies among the Nesei will be active and danger of treachery is to be recognized.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Great Britain continues under signs read as indicating adherence to political usages and traditions. Pride in the far-reaching empire will persist to an extent that will be embarrassing to the peace table; British diplomats will oppose what ever seems to threaten "liquida- tion."
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of tests that ultimately may prove for tunate. Domestic friction is indi- cated.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will enjoy average success. Elders should not oppose youthful ambitions.

election laws, faulty wording opens the way to argument concerning whether or not it is mandatory for the chief executive to call special election AL though it is apparent that the intent of the law is that such procedure mandatory unless the vacancy occurs close the opening date of the Legislature make such election possible nevertheless there still is for argument.
 However, hope that partisan politics will not enter into the picture to the extent that the First Division will be representative short in the Senate The people are entitled to representation in their legislative assembly.
 The law provides that 30 days notice must be given before any election may be held and there still plenty of time for such notice and for the necessary discussion and campaigning.
 This appears to be the first time such a measure has been necessary for Territorial office and the confusion should prove that law regarding special elections fill vacancies is badly in need of overhaul
