LOCAL CHAIRMAN CALLS
FOR WOMEN FOR WAACs

Miss Marjorie Rogers Recently
Appointed County Chairman
Calls Attention to Opportunities
of Young Women for Service.

       One hundred and fifty thousand women are needed for the WAAC to replace the services of American soldiers for active combat service, said Marjorie Rogers, County Chairman for the purpose of mobilization of competent women in the County into a voluntary force which will effectively tell the story of the WAAC to eligibles over the County.
       In a letter to Miss Rogers from Colonel C. K. (Rene)hart (?) (paper torn) Field Artillery, District (Recr)uiting and Induction Officer, he stated: "There is no more important task which women can undertake today than supplying recruits to the WAAC, every one of whom will permit a soldier to leave a noncombatant job and take his place in the fighting lines." 
       These young women from 21 to 45 will receive a basic salary of $50 per month with chance for rapid promotions.  They are given the best of care and training.  Their educational requirements are reasonable, says Miss Rogers.
       Mrs. Levi Goodrich has been appointed Chairman of Marlin women for the organization of work in Marlin.  She will call a group of women together soon for the purpose of setting up an attractive information booth in Marlin where young women can make application for the WAAC.
       MIss Vera Warrock of Rosebud has accepted appointment of Chairman for work in Rosebud and smaller communities in that section.
       Negro recruiting booths will be under the Chairmanship of Elcenia Johnson teacher in Booker T. Washington High School.
