At the same time, despite increasingly critical
manpower and material shortages, we are con-
tinuing to meet all essential civilian needs . . .
and at the same low cost as before the war.
f~7M PLOYEES of the electrical industry are
1> not eligible for "E” awards because they
are not directly engaged in war production, but
the power they deliver helps set the records that
keep the "E” flags flying.
Right now, for example, this company is deliv-
ering industrial power at 2p2 times the normal
peacetime rate of consumption. Well over half
(57%) of our entire output goes to industries
essential to the war effort and to military estab-
lishments.

terns on production. These 1,422
Texans have 883.023 acres on which
70 to 100 per cent of all planned
soil conservation practices have
been established for periods of two
to six years.
Acre yields of crops and pastures
have been increased 39 per cent on
these farms, according to reports
prepared by the Soil Conservation
Service. In other words, for every
100 acres in crops and pastures
the farmers are getting production
equivalent to 139 acres under the
old method of fanning.
Tuesday, August 29.
If you are between the above
mentioned ages, have at least two
years of high school, and are in-
terested in doing any of the many
jobs open to women in the Army
you are urged to talk with the Lt.
and Sgt. while they are in town.
There is a place for all eligible
women in the Army, and you are
urged to do your part in bringing
our men back as soon as possible.
Women are filling all sorts of of-
fice jobs, driving trucks, working
in photo labs, in control towers,
as cooks and bakers; at every kill-
ed and unskilled job suited to wo-
men’s strength and capabilities.
When this war is won, what part

Lt. Mary M. Pringle of Cali-

Among the 239 jobs women can
fill now in the Army, none is more
important than helping the men
who have returned from overseas
find their places back in civilian
life. Women are needed in the
Army hospitals now to serve as
medical and surgical technicians,
to aid in getting our wounded men
well.
The Army is offering free of
charge to women who are eligible
for membership in the Women’s
Army Corps an opportunity to
study at an Army hospital and
secure a diploma in medical and
surgical technician work. In or-
der to be eligible for attendance
at this school, a woman must be
between the ages of 20 and 49,
with no dependent children under
fourteen, and must be a high
school graduate.
Upon acceptance into the Wo-
men's Army Corps, she will be
sent to Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia,
for six weeks of basic training,
after which she will go to the
Army Hospital School at Camp At-
terbury, Indiana, for a three
months’ specialized course in hos-
pital work. When she has re-
ceived her diploma there, she will
be sent to an Army hospital,
where she is needed the most.
Medical technicians assist in the
care of the sick, injured or wound-
ed. They keep the patient re-
cords, make beds, give baths, take
temperatures, prepare sanitary
dressings, and keep routine ward
records.
Surgical technicians help prepare
eperating rooms, take care of sur-
gican equipment, assist in prepar-
ing patients for operations, and
perform other non-professional du-
ties in pre-operatlve and pokt-op-
erative care and treatment of sur-
gican cases.
All women who are eligible and
interested in becoming members of
the Women’s Army Corps, either as
hospital technicians or in any
other line of work, are invited to
discuss this matter with Lt. Mary
M. Pringle, or Sgt. Edith Gilreath,
who will be at the Nocona Hotel.
