WACS TO REMAIN
PART OF ARMY
Headouarters Alaskan Depart
ment—The Army, which learned
in waritme that a woman in some
jobs not only can replace men but
fill many positions to better ad
vantage, plans to keep the WACs
as “part of the team,” Maj. Gen.
Willard S. Paul, Assistant Chief of
Staff for personnel, stated recent
ly in Washington.
“The Wacs have done such an
outstanding job that we can’t get
along without them,” he said.
The postwar organization will
offer a real career for women and
will add new inducements for en
listment. Officers would be chosen
from the ranks and trained at of
ficer candidate schools and Wacs,
so far as possible, would choose
their own overseas assignments.
While new legislation is now be
fore Congress, the War Depart
ment has asked Wacs already dis
charged to return to duty. Forme.
enlisted women are given *he
chance to reenlist in grade, either
until September 30, 1946, or lor
the duration of the war plus six
months. Volunteers must possess a
skill useable by the War Depart
ment or a major continental force,
and all enlistments will be in the
Army of the United States.
Poland’s Teachers
Work Day And Night
POZNAN, (/P)—Poland is hard
up for school buildings and school
teachers, so children go to classes
in day and night shifts.
It is not uncommon to find sev
en teachers charged with the task
of instructing 900 children. The
teachers partially solve the prob
lem of trying to give attention to1
all of them by teaching classes on
four-hour shifts. This continues |
until long after nightfall.

ARMY DRIVE TO
CONSERVE FOOD
Headquarters Alaskan Depart
ment—No longer will the man
‘•whose eyes are bigger than his
stomach” get away with scraping
half a meal into the trash cans in
Army mess halls. That, like :he
Sam Browne belt, has become
passe.
It’s all a part of the Army’s plan
to do everything possible in back
ing up President Truman’s “tight
en the belt” campaign, to relieve
the international food crisis. Army
mess sergeants, whose problems
are already numerous, have been
instructed to do everything pos
sible to “put more food in tlv'
stomachs — less in the garbage
can” and have been asked to help
the drive by:
1. Studying food preferences of
each individual mess and prepar
ing large quantities of only those
foods highest in popularity.
2. Taking advantage of proper
refrigeration to cut spoilage.
3. Making food as eye-appealing
TAKES A SHERIFF
TO PINCH A SHERIFF
"
VVINAMAC, Ind., UP) — Who
takes a sheriff to jail when one
must go?
Judge Robert Thompson of the
Pulaski Circuit Court solved that
i problem this week by ordering the
sheriff of his own county (Pulas- !
l'-i> to take Sheriff Harold Smith
of Cass County to the state penal
farm to be held until he pays $000
ordered due his divorced wife for
support of their two children.
Mrs. Smith’s suit had been
transferred from Logansport in
Cass County to Winamac.
as possible, to buoy up the appe
tites of the men.
It is the Army’s plan to exceed
all previous records it has estab
lished m reducing the amount or
edible waste in 1940, and it is felt
that the goal can be easily accom
plished through mo-e stringent at
tention to the quality and to ac
curate estimates of actual needs.
