WAC drive to go on in state, Co.
Record Indianola, Iowa WAC DRIVE TO GO ON IN STATE, CO. f\___M Gov. Bolirke B. Hickenlooper, at the request --of General George C. Marshall, chief of staff, has issued a call to the chairmen of the civilian WAC recruiting committees in each Iowa county to keep their organizations functioning until Iowa meets its WAC quotas, Clarence C. Schrier, chairman for Warren county said this week. In a statement earlier in the week, Governor Hickenlooper stated that although WAC recruiting in Iowa had shown some improvement, the anticipated number of women joining had not been up to expectations. Maj. Floyd R. Miller, commanding officer of army recruiting in Iowa, also announced that enlistment opportunities in the Womens Army Corps have now enlarged to include all components of the army, and the drive has been extended until quotas are met in Iowa. "Effective at once," Major Miller stated, "women may join the Womens Army Corps for specific job assignment to the Army Ground Forces and Army Service Forces, as well as the Army Air Forces." In order to qualify under this special assignment plan, each recruit must have had at least the training or experience of the civilian occupation necessary to meet the requirements of the army job to which she wishes assignment. ._
