AMY MOT for every American soldier killed in action and may not get the cai The long list of war dead does not male pleasant reading ... Nor does the situation in regard to our wounded. For they are coming back to America at the rate of 1,000 a day I And unless something is done, these men may not get enough proper care. Their need is so great But the help, to date, has been so shamefully small. At the moment, each Army nurse in this country is handling more than twice as many beds as any person is cfliciently able to handle. The country is doing everything in its power to recruit more nurses. Bui at the same rime a vast effort must be made to stretch the professional usefulness of every single Army nurse on duty in the United States. This is why Wacs are needed to help note. More than 8,000 Cacs are needed immediately in Army General Hospitals in the United States to help Army doctors and nurses in their tremendous task. Previous experience, is not necessary. Any woman aged 20 to 49 inclusive uu'rh two years of high school (or the equivalent schooling) may apply.
