BY RUTH DEAN
Star Staff Writer

Cupid has shot his arrows
into the ranks of the Army
Nurse Corps with such tell
ing effect that the Corps has
had to embark on a cam
paign to increase its size to
5000 more nurses.
"Our great loss is to mar
riage," said Mai. Anne B.
Cost, Army Nurse Corps
counselor for the I'd Army
area, at a ceremony here
yesterday in which Miss
Lynne Froehlich of Alexan-
dria became the 18th nurs-

recruit potential Army nurses
from nursing schools and
colleges all over the Nation,

during her senior year at the

monthly salary, allowance for
board and room if this is not
provided by the school, and
all the benefits of active duty
personnel including medical
and dental care, commisSary
privileges and a paid vaca-
