IDEA TOO NEW
Then he wouldn't have an

are opposed to the thought of
women being captains a n d en-

Many a man and many a fam

decision to take a job at navy
yard or at an air base who balk-

But Uncle Sam tried to give
women chance to be treated
like men for doing a mans job.
Perhaps the idea was little too
new for many of the people to
whom girls listen-their families
and fianceS.

The United States Cadet Nurse
Corps has exceeded it's first year
quota of student nurses by 500.
How come, when WACs and
WAVES are having so much re-
cruiting 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 and WAVES are
getting valuable job experience at
their tasks, and many of them are
beng given specialized training.
The reason the girls aren't hee-
itating to become cadet nurses is
probably because nursing isn't
anything new for women, and so
tho 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 ser
vice women, is just too new and
different for many people to ap-
prove.
Maybe Uncle Sam would have
done better at recruiting women
