WAC Surgical Technicians under professional
supervision specialize in the technique OF assist
ing doctors and nurses don surgical gowns and
gloves, attend to the care, repair and steriliza-
ton OF operating instruments, and assist in the
pre- and post-operative care of patients.
Wacs are also doing marvellous work as medical
stenographers. An Army doctor using Wac
in this capacity can take care of many more pa
tents, for he does not need to retain mental
notes or take time to write up a case before
seeing another.
H,acs viii Be Recruited for Hospital Unit,
The Army's goal is unit of 100 Wacs to every,
thousand beds in Army General Hospitals in
this country.
Each unit will be made up OF several platoons.
Each platoon will number fifteen Wacs. Many
women will want to interest their friends in
making up platoons-doubtless many communi-
ties will set out to recruit whole unit
Although the primary need is for Medical and
Surgical Technicians, any woman with clerical
aptitude should also apply. For each WAC unit
will need several women with clerical ability
NJcncIal OF inc Army SeoIRc ~. NlaIs1allt oH
January 7, wrote the Governor Of each State
as follows:
The care OF the increasing number of casualties
arriving in the United States, together with an
acute shortage in nurses and hospital personnel
generally necesstates urgent measures being
taken to recruit and rapidly train women for
service in Army hospitals.
I'VE urgently need Wacs for our sixty General
Hospitals.
Your leadership in recruiting women for such
platoons will be great service TO the Army.
These recruits will be trained for assignment to
particular named Army General Hospitals, in
GLIDING those located in your State"

The plain fact Of the matter is-if something
isn't done soon, and very soon, the wounded and
hospitalzed American soldier may not continue
to get the care to which he is entitled.
The American casualty-the boy from Portland
or Brooklyn or Windsor Locks or Council
Bluffs-may not continue to get his bandages
changed often enough. He may not be bathed
or made comfortable early enough because there
may not be enough people to help.
A. result, the recupera,ion and return to nor

Locks may be needlessly delayed

They Work To Sing

was discovered by famous voice coach.
Induced to give up his business and study
music, Berman's first concert at Carnegie
Hall brought rave reviews. His voice, said
the critics, had the volume of Caruso's, the
sweetness of McCormack's.
But when the concert was over, Berman,
married with two kids had $35 and string
of debts. He had to 60 back to work. Some
day, though, he vowed, he'd find way to
help other youngsters with talent get their
chance He has.
He Goes All Out
ONCE Berman takes on protege, he goes
all out. Because his business has prospered,
he not only gives his pupils jobs and lessons,
but when they're ready, outfits them, gets
them guest-star appearances. y In fact, each
protege's launching costs him $500.
What does he get out of it all? "Lotsa
people sing when they get happy" says
Max. with me. it's that get happy when
others sing" Lawrence n. GALLON
