No, you don’t see the world, but you do receive an excellent educa- tion, good pay, plenty to eat, have loads of fun and—well, have you ever seen that uniform? Now don’t get us wrong, the Waves or Spars aren’t all uniform, plenty to eat and good times. There's a good deal of hard work, too, but it’s just natural that when a group of young, healthy and intelligent girls get together that ther’d be plenty of action. o If you'd like to join these girls, read these qualifications carefully. First of all, you must be between the ages of 20 and 35—those under 21 must get parent’s permission. Then you must be able to prove you are a United State citizen, have three good character references, be physically perfect, and have two years of high school or business school training. For the first six weeks you will WOMEN AND THE WAR path learn the fundamentals of Naval ser- vice on the campus of one of the many selected colleges throughout the country. After this raw recruit period, you may attend a specialist school as Petty Officer in the fields of radio, supply, hospital, adminis- tration or any of the score open to you. As a Wave or Spar you will be paid the regular Navy or Coast Guard wages, according to which branch of the service you're in. You'll be able to send mail free— something the WAACS can’t do— and receive reduced rates on shows or transportation. Six months after the duration you will come back home with a career ahead of you and an entirely dif- ferent. outlook on life. If you think you'd like the Waves, why not drop in the Navy Recruit- ing Station in Wilkes-Barre Post Office Building? You'll never re- gret it!

WAR BONDS The tradition of American cavalry threads back to Indian warfare days and although modern armies are largely motorized today, the cavalry still plays an important role. Sturdy, well trained horses and excellent equipment and trappings are neces- sary. When men are in the saddle for hours, their saddles, saddle rolls and other equipment must be made to stand the wear. Complete with car- bine and helmets, the equipment for the cavalryman runs into hun- dreds of dollars. You can help pro- vide this with your War Bond pur- chases. If you have not done so, join the Payroll Savings Plan and put ten percent of your income into War Bonds. U.S. Treasury Department [Luther T. Hand To Men are dying for the Four Freedoms.
