Waves Quota for Oregon Is Set Oregon’s share of the national quota for Waves in 1944 is 1,009 young women—which will mean that 1000 fewer breadwinner fathers with families will be re quired to leave for war—report ed Lieutenant John F. Biehler, recruiter in charge of the Port land naw recruiting station, which handles Waves applicants in this area. National goal for the Waves in 1944 is 45,000 enlistments at the rate of 1200 a week for the remainder of the yea'-. At the end of 1943 the Waves had 47 600 officers ard enlisted per- ronnel, exceeding the goal set for the year. It is anticipated that by the end of 194 4 there will be at least 92,400 navy women. Men Released for Duty By a person-t - person count, Waves have released for sea duty enough men to rake 12 battle ships to war against th? enemy. In addition, thousands of other men have been enabled to go to sea because women have been resigned to new or etjtndmg shore activit és wnieh o herwise would have been staffed bv men. Relaxation of physical require ments, plus greater use of Waves ir practically every phase of navy activity has increased opportuni- t es for young women in the Waves. Any young woman be tween the ages of 20 ani 36 with training or aptitude in al most any civilian work is quali fled for the Waves Ke'iuire- ments are few: she must be in good health, be a U.S. cit.zcn and have no children under 18 years of age.
