Recruiting Efforts
OF WAC Redoubled
As War Progresses

AS the wal progresses and our
leading Army officers, both med
ical and tactical, note the mount
ing number of casualties in every
battle zone, they have seen the
need for, and have consequently
inaugurated, one of the most in
tensified recruiting drives to e
suit from this war, a drive to
obtain qualified women to serve
as medical technicians in Army
hospitals. A late date for this,
you say but you are wrong.
Should Germany capitulate to-
morrow. the war would be over
only for those who died accom-
plishing this capitulation. It will
still be bitter reality for those
who must continue the fight with
Japan and for those wounded
who must be brought back to
health.
It's for these men that the Ar
my Recruiting Service is redou-
bling its effores today. 1t. Mil
dred Ferguson, in charge of the
Mobile Recruiting station, is seek
ing qualified women from this
territory to train as medical tech
nicians. women between the ages
of 20 and 40 inclusive, high
school graduates and with no de-
pendents above IA years of age.
After completion of six weeks bas
sic training, these women will be
sent to medical teehnician schools
for further training and will then
be assigned to Army hospitals.
The obligation that America
owes to its wounded can be bet
ter paid by its women, women
working as laboratory techni-
clans, surgical and medical tech
nicians and medical stenogra-
pliers. AS soldiers in the Army,
these women will also be quail
fled to receive the benefits ac-
corded by the Gil. Bill of Rights.
And, what is more important to
their future, the training they
will receive from the Army will
enable them to enter Well-paid
professions after peace is won.
This opportunity is one that
comes but once in a lifetime.
The Mobile Recruiting Station,
located at 1875 New Federal Bldg,
has complete details.
