WAVE RECRUITS
URGENTLY NEEDED
The nation-wide campaign to in-! crease ,io 112,000 the number of women , in the armed forces has pointed up, once again, that manpower includes womenpower.
Assigning women to jobs that require men is simply a case of using manpower to the best advantage.
The total personnel strength of the WAVES today is but a fraction of what it was in World War II when some 86,000 women were on active duty. There are only 6,311 WAVES presently an service, 806 of whom are officers. A great need therefore exists for additional worn, anpower to bring WAVE strength up to 10,000 enlisted women and 1,000 officers.
As in World War II, WAVES are serving in every type of naval shore establishment. In all these locations WAVES are once again showing their effectiveness, working in a variety of navy jobs ranging all the way from general office work to specialized ratings such as electronic technicians, air control-men, disbursing clerks, hospital corpsmen, parachute riggers, radiomen and many others.
Any young women 18 to 25, single and an American citizen who wants to relieve a man for active duty should write to the U.S. navy recruiting station, old post office building, 5th and Court .St., L" •;• Moines.
