for Veterans, sets up racks to keep
the clothes where the officer, in need
of uniform, calls in person or if
unable to do so, is assisted by
Gray Lady who calls for the needed
garment and takes it back to the
hospital"
Mrs. Kuter said there was scarcely
an air forces officers wardrobe
which had not been ransacked by
his eager wife in her hunt for dis
carded uniforms. Requests are also
made of officers leaving the service
for uniforms.
There are nearly 40 young men
whose names and sizes are listed
with us who are in need of uni
FORMS" she added. I'm one week
We provided uniforms for seven
men one day, for IA the next day
and for IL the day following that.
These boys are deeply appreciative
for the use of these discarded uni
forms as all of them are hospital
lied and expect to leave the Army
shortly, and none of them should
have to spend personal funds for
uniforms so long as it is possible to
secure garments that are suitable" !"
The club president told of one
young officer who slipped into a
fairly new overcoat that fit him
well and laughed cheer
fully, You know all it needs to fit
perfectly is an arm in this sleeve"
when a young man can show that
kind of morale" Mrs. Kuter de-
clared, "a young man who left that
arm somewhere in France, it is no

Any one listening in on telephone
conversations of members of the
Air Corps Woman's Club these days
would hear interesting requests
huzzing over the wires.
Have you any uniforms youl
husband doesn't need?" voice asks
'If so. please sort them out-they
will be called for and put to very
good use"
Providing uniforms for young
officer veterans at Walter Reed and
Forest Glenn Hospitals is one OF
the newest projects of this hard
working group of women who during
the war contributed so much to
many worthy projects, including
Red Cross, service hospital work
and assistance to families of men
in the Air Corps in times of sorrow
or emergencies.
The latest project, providing the
officer uniforms to wounded vet
erans, will be the subject of dis
cussion at the first fall meeting of
the club at pm. Wednesday in
the Boiling Field Theater.
The youthful and attractive club
president, Mrs. Laurence Kuter, wife
of Maj. Gen. Kuter of the Army
Air Forces, will preside at her first
meeting since entering into Office
She will explain in detail the great
need for assistance in the clubs
latest project.
Mrs. Kuter, in an interview, s&-
planned how many of the young men
who lost arms and legs fighting in
the Battle of the Bulge, in Italy or
on Okinawa also lost many uni
forms during hasty advances into
enemy territory and with the loss
of limb they neither knew nor
cared what had happened to that
pair of pinks purchased a few
months before by the difficult
stretching of a budget"
The Air Corps club president also
explained how the uniform project
had been born.
In the fall of 1914" she said, at
came to the attention of some air
forces wives that young officers
could not leave the hospital build
ing out of correct uniform" when
they heard of one amputee- who
could not attend a football game to
which he was invited because he had
no overcoat. Immediately an over
coat was found for him and the idea
spread and more overcoats were
sought, for invitations to football
games were more plentiful than ex-
ira officers topcoats.
Another young man found, that
by borrowing the blouse from a
larger officer, he could wear it over
his shoulder caste without having to
cut his own precious blouse.
Finally" Mrs. Kuter explained,
Through the Red Cross and Bun
dies for America, plan was worked
out where a place was found to as
semble uniforms that were rapidly
being collected by the air forces
wives. The officer must be sent in
through official channels in order to
comply with Army regulations; this
is done through the assistance of
the Gray Ladies and the Red Cross
