If They Draft Women For WAACs Those
Who Waste Time Should Be First Ones
l$,v Jo Pinson : ^
Sweetwater pepolc who think
all this talk about WAACc
is just? tt bunch of publclty evi-
dently haven't talked to any
WAAc's about the matter.
The girls are not; in the ser-
vice for tiro sake of the uniform.
Women may go for uniforms
worn by men, but they have to
learn to like wearing them
themselves.
Lt. .1*• sic Gardner, WAAC re- j
cruiting officer, of this district,
says that she and all (ho unifor-
med women she knows had a
litird time getting used to uni-j
forms. Ii was something they :
had to learn.
Furthermore, this officer, ma-1
Smith; Blanche Simp.-on, Mr.ike Jin bone about the laH that
J. M. Sibley: Mary Alexander, | women do miss the pretty, col-
Mrs. .1. A. Spears; Lottie Moon.V'i'ful clothe, they have given
Mrs. C. S. Hudgins; Lucille Rea-1 up. Clothes have mattered to
gan, Mrs. S. E. Joyner i them for so long that getting

iar.v will meet at the Legion hut i ed without a few backward

• The Bluebonnet club will meH

at the USO.
WAACs are not just play-
ing soldiers cither. Like lilt*
recent picture of soldiers
swinging along uilli tienvy
haeiocks hags, on llicie
way to embark foe Noetli
Africa—foe the solders wore
skirls. They were W AACs,
the first, detachment to tic
sent alnoad. As the picture
shows, they are going
siniling).y and w illingly whe-
eevee they are needed,
w in n ver they ran relieve
men for fighting.
The picture .-hould also dis-
courage anyone from thinking
that there is anything glamor-
ous about being a woman sold-
ier. (Vrlainiy no frivolous-min-
de! girl who thinks it might;
the American people just what
it means for a woman to wear i
the WAAC uniform. Not just
pictures of them receiving their |
training. But picture - of them
on the job. Amerieriiiri need to
be shown that die woman in
Uniterm is a- serious a soldier
as ihe men in uniform.
Il ever women are drafted in-
to the WAACs here tire some
type that should he among the
first to he ordered.
The women who pend their
mornings gossiping on the tele
phone.
The able-bodied women
wliu complain that they arc
having a lough time keep-
ing house for one man with-
out a lull-time miiiil.
The women who think thej
war has hit them hard when it. ]
has brought them only a. few in-’
conveniences.
Tito women who still turn up
their noss at WAACs -- de-
claring that after all war . a
man's job.
The women who still play j
bridge .cvet a 1 afternoon- endi
week.
Th' woiivn ’.v ho. in Ibis, I ili
are clinging vines.
There I: probably not a strong
healthy woman in any of those i
groups who wouldn't be better .
