WACS Who Enlist
To Have Choice
In Assignments
Advantages of service in the Wo-
men's Army Corps are being explain-
ed to women of the Camp Swift area
by officers of this Post who have be-
gun an educational effort to familia-
rize prospective WACS with the serv-
ice. Under new regulations women
may be enlisted in the WAC with as-
surance that they will receive their
assignment, after completion of the
brief basic training, in their home
Service Command area.
Another new advantage offered
prospective WACS is the fact that
a recruit who enters service with
specialized training may elect to con-
tinue in the work with which she is
most familiar and best suited. In
other words, it is explained, a WAC
recruit who in private life was an
accountant will be assigned to simi-
lar work in the Army.
Need for WACS is greater at this
time than ever before, it has been
pointed out, and an effort is being
made to take the message of this
service to the thousands of eligible
women who have not received it or
who are not thoroughly familiar with
the many advantages offered by
enlistment.
Women with proper qualifications,
and they are not extremely rigid, who
qualify as candidates for officer
training will be sent to Officer Can-
didates School.
Complete information regarding
service in the WAC may be had by
any interested women by request to
the Post Public Relations Office at
Camp Swift, and, it was announced,
information will be gladly furnished
by telephone or mail. Inquiry regard-
ing this service carries no obligation.

Have a Coca-Cola = Let's be friendly

a way to win a welcome wherever you go
Where you find democracy, you find the feeling of friendliness, of give-and-take-the
spirit of neighborliness. It s made up of little things that mark a way of life: sports,
fair play, movies, comics and swing music. A simple phrase like Have a "Coke" turns
strangers into friends, the same in both hemispheres. Around the globe, Coca-Cola
sands for the pause that refreshes,-his become the high-sign of the good-hearted.
BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY Ot THE COCA-COIA COMPANY IV
Bastrop Coca-Cola Bottling Company
It's natural for popular names
to acquire friendly abbrevia-
tions. That's why you hear
Coca-Cola called "Coke"
