150 WAACS NOW STATIONED
AT FORT SAM HOUSTON
A company of 150 auxiliaries and
officers of the Woman’s Army Auxil-
iary Corps arrived in San Antonio last
week and reported to the Commanding
Officer of Fort Sam Houston for duty.
As the first large unit of the W. A.
A. C. to be assigned to duty in a mili-
tary camp of the 8th Service Com-
mand, the company is being immed-
iately ordered to take over positions
now held by soldiers at the post, to
relieve able-bodied men for tactical
service.
Friday afternoon the WAAC com-
pany paraded through downtown San
Antonio, with WAAC officers of the
District Army Recruiting Office, an
honor guard from Fort Sam Houston
and the Brooks Field Air Force Band
in the procession.
Lee Orr of Fox Movietone filmed
parts of the parade, to which other
scenes, made upon the WAAC’s arriv-
al,-togeter with sequences of the wo-
men as they entered upon their actual
duties, and depicting “barracks life,”
were added for release in the nation’s
theaters.
The snappy company of WAACs
—well trained, well drilled, well dis-
ciplined, and bulging with pride in their
organization—was a sight that would
make any American justly proud, Lt.
Charles L. Kelly of the District Re-
cruiting Office said. “Especially would
one thrill in the fact that they are
equal to a company of men 150 strong,
in that they will take over non-com-
batant jobs and relieve that number of
able-bodied soldiers for combat duty,”
she declared.
Those desiring WAAC information
or application forms car obtain same
at the Army Recruiting Office in the
Calcasieu Bldg., San Antonio.

“Yesiree, it’s a real good one, Bill. Won

states. Well, all I had to do was step across
the street to my office where I had some
