NovY Mdkes Appeal
For WAVE Recruits
For Hospital Corps

An appeal for a minimum OF
1000 more WAVE enlistments per
month, half of whom are urgent
ly needed for service with the
Navy Hospital Corps. has been
issued by the Navy Department.
State Navy Recruiting headquar-
tiers in Jackson has been advised
that acceleration of engagements
in the Pacific and the recent in
crease in Navy war casualties
have caused the new demand for
WAVE hospital corpsmen and
that 10000 more are required as
soon as possible.
o. z. Hall, recruiting officer in
Biloxi, said that he could give
no assurance that WAVES will be
admitted on their request to the
Hospital Corps as no specific
duty can be promised; however,
he explained that since the need
for WAVES in hospitals is so
pressing, half of those attending
training school in the immediate
future will go into the Navy
Hospital Corps. All WAVES en-
listing from Mississippi now will
receive eight weeks boot"
training in New York City and
those chosen for Hospital Corps
duty will have an additional two
months hospital training. WAVES
not assigned to the Hospital
Corps will go direct to duty sta
tions and be given one of $50
types OF Navy work.

women between the ages of 20
