Our argument against women
in the service IS that they
aid nothing IN the United
States which women in civil

done. and overseas they did q
whole lot Of things which
women in civilian clothes
would never have done
You saw the WacS IN the
United States. They pounded
typewriters. drove leeps. staff

duties which men had been
performing and thereby re-
iieved for other duties. but
this was nothing that your

The difference between the
work done by Rosie the Riv-

We can't comment too much
about Winnies conduct in the

started practicing medicine il
was quite usual 20 have many
patients come into my office
with multiplicity OF old
scars on their faces which
showed signs that they had
once been infected with this
disease In certain areas OF
this country. Yellow Fever
and Small Pox were most
dreaded and they took an ap-
palling toll Of deaths in their
wake.

and the patient is acutely i'll.
