CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
"Everlasting Punishment" Is
the subject of the Lesson-Serv
mon which will be read in all
Churches of ChrUt, Scientist, on
Sunday, October 31.
The Golden Text is; "Let Is-
rael ho|*> in the Lord: for with
the Lord there i* mercy, and
with him is plenteous redemption"
(Psalms 1,10:71.
Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible: "I,
even I. am he that blotteth out
thy transgressions for mine own
sake, and will not remember thy
sins" i Isaiah 43:25*.
The Lesson-Sermon also in-
cludes the following passage from
the Christian Science textbook,
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures,'' by Mary Baker
Eddy: "The destruction of sin is
the divine method of pardon . . .
Doe* not Gods pardon, destroy-
ing any one sin, prophesy and in-
volve the final de*truction of nil
sin?" * page .1391.
Christian Science Services are
held every Sunday at 11 a. m. at
401 South McAmis.

Girls of Breck
Girls in Breckenrldge, who have
wondered how they can get infor-
mation about Joining the WACS,
and particularly how they can
get into the Army Air Force*,
will be given the opportunity to
learn all about it next Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday, when a
recruiting team headed by Cap-
lain James C. Boone of Blackland
Army Air Field, Waco, will be
in town to talk with those wom-
en who are interested in Joining
the Air-WACS. Lt. Elizabeth A.
Miller, WAC officer. Capt. C. J.
Herbert. Lt. Helen L- Vrccland,
will assist Capt. Boone.
"Air-WACS" are Women'.*
Army Corps soldiers in the Air
Forces. They are stationed at
Army Air Fields ami perform
many important duties formerly
done by male soldiers. Among
the many attractive positions in
the Air Forces for women art*
radio tower operators, dispatch-
ing the Army's big plane* to and
from the base; photo lab techni-
cians, (hero's a chance for u girl
to put her picture hobby to work j
for Uncle Sam . More than 150'
specific positions in medical, pee-1
sonnet, public relations, weather, j
drafting, radio, mechanical and,
other fields ire open.
Physically fit women of good
character from 20 to 49 years of I
age. without dependent* or chil-
dren under 14. are eligible to lie- j
come "Air-WACS." They must |
have two years of High School ^

ed" the* city of Waco with pam-
phlets.
Social life for the AIR-WACS |
is well planned. Dante*, roller i
skating parties, bow-ling alleys, j
basketball, base hall are but a few |
of the entertainment events open!
to the women soldiers. Good fo «l
served in their own mess halls,
quiet, tastefully decorated ilny
rooms in which to relax, and a
beauty salon of their own 'ai ^
just a few of the advantages
WACS enjoy on an Army Post.
Here is the typical comment of
a large post commander. Said
Colonel Kmmett F. Yost. Com-
manding Offk-'r at Blackland
Army Air Field:
"Our Air-WACS are doing a
marvelous Job. Regular Army
