Committee Formed to Aid Drive
for WAC Recruits this Month

Coincident with the impetus given
Women's Army Corps recruiting re-
sulting from the increasing number
Of casualties returning from the far
flung battlefronts of the world, a
civilian committee has been formed
to aid in the January drive for re-
cruits.
This committee, composed Of some
Of Wyandotte's most outstanding
and patriotic citizens, has added one
more altruistic gesture to their large
list of laudable contributions. The
committee Is made up of the follow
ing downriver citizens: Louis Benin,
Mayor; Anthony D'Anna, member
Of U. s., War Finance Office: Adam
Przybylski, Postmaster: w. Leo Ca
halan, member of Municipal Service
Commission; Mrs. Nina Stewart,
prominent businesswoman; and Mrs.
H. M. Upton, mother of Sgt. Hilda
Upton Girst woman to enter the
WAC in the downriver district.
The committee, fully cognizant of
the problems Of the War Depart
ment, has accorded it's full approval
and support to the Women's Army
Corps In its search for eligible wom-
en- to join the service. They under
stand the vital need for thousands
Of women to do many important Jobs
in the Army. not the least important
of which is assignment to the Med
ical Department to act as Medical
Technicians, assisting in the reha-
Utilization of the tens of thousands
of wounded men who are being re-
turned from the bloody battlefields
Of this war-torn world. If a woman
Is not trained for that type of work,
but expresses an inclination In that
direction and at the same time is
possessed of.the right qualifications,
she will be sent to school and taught
skin, which will not only be of
use to her country at war, but will
be invaluable to her in the postwar
years.
The committee is OF the opinion
that the offering of an incentive to
the increased staff of recruiters of
the Downriver District would serve
to produce added effort, over and
above the intensive exertions they
have already made. Accordingly
they have offered 70 contribute .
