The officer called the attention of the women present to the need for 10 times as many WACS as are in the service at the present time. Wherever Army headquarters are established, she declared, the WAC is needed to fill jobs vhich will release men for combat. She stressed the deep realization of the women of Britain and Russia of the fact that they are essential to the service. They really have had the point proven to them with the uprooting of their lives and the destruction of their homes.

Thats the Commander- in chief talking and you cant get a better authority on the question which is uppermost in everyone's mind: When is the war going to end?" In the case of War Bonds, however, you have just as good a reason for buying Extra Bonds for peace as for war. After the din of battle dies away, you will count up the cost of the war to you. Every dollar you have put away in War Bonds will be on the asset side. Your War Bonds will be the one certain good thing you personally will have out of this war. With the money stored away in Bonds you can do so many things for yourself and your family.

Your first duty your patriotic duty is to buy Extra War Bonds to help your country. However. even if victory were only a moment away you still should buy Extra Bonds to help yourself. Let's all Back the Attack with Extra Bonds today and every day until victory. RAN MALTEX CEREAL Pkg.

More than 150 women from all sections of Rutland county attended an informal silver tea atthe Hotel Berwick Saturday afternoon, given by the Rutland Woman's club to honor Capt Frances Keegan Marquis of the Womens Army corps, who was commanding officer of the first contingent of WACS to serve overseas. A patriotic motif was carried out in the decorations of flowers and in the tea table arrangement Flags of the Allied Nations formed a background for the affair. A large red.

wtiite and blue frosted cake flanked by lighted tapers formed the table centerpiece. A musical program was presented on stringed instruments by a student trio of Mrs. Otis Edson. A large number of WAC mothers. Army and Navy mothers and wives, and women of all branches of the armed service stationed at Vermont points, as well as officers and members of the Women's Army corps from nearby towns and cities were among the guests.

Capt. Margaret Randall, commanding officer of the WAC in Vermont, and Lieut Olga Thompson of Boston, formerly stationed in this city, were present Capt Marquis, wtio returned in November after 10 months service in Algiers, part of which was in Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters, entertained the women with a description, illustrated by pictures, of the activities of the WAC contingent from the time they began preparations for embarkation from an eastern port She described their trip across the ocean, their glimpse through the fog of the Rock of Gibraltar, their landing in North Africa the day after a heavy bombing raid, ffieir first quarters in a convent and their later quarters in an apartment hotel. Capt Marquis told of the WACS work and their eagerness to prove themselves good soldiers in appreciation for being given an opportunity to serve at the scene ol action. The high courage and morale of the American girls was mentioned by the speaker with pride, and she described inspections by Gen.

Giraud and Glen. Eisenhower. A happy moment Capt Marquis declared, was when Gen. Eisenhower informed the contingent that they were as good as his best' soldiers. Among the members of the company were nine highly trained truck and ambulance drivers.

Allied army headquarters, with some qualms, the captain said, called for only one of the nine. After her first day of proving her ability, the WAC officer said, there was a hurried call for the remaining eight. The first driver was retained by Gen. Eisenhower. He also engaged and kept on his staff three WAC secretaries, she said.

The WACS served in Algiers, whilfe the city was under continuous bombardment, as map makers, statisticians, drafts women, secretaries, stenographers, as communication workers and in various other capacities, many of them receiving their training on the jobs to which they were assigned. The girls played a part in the preparation of the plans for the invasion of Sicily. Many have gone to England in connection with the coming invasion and WACS are also stationed in Italy, Egypt, India. New Caledonia. Capt.

Marquis spoke of tle ingenuity of the WACS in Africa in preparing appetizing menus from field rations, citing one incident when swap was made by British and American mess sergeants, of cocoa for spinach, as a result of whic hthe WACS had a treat of chocolate cake. If a WAC was frightened by the bombardments, or if she was homesick, she never showed it Her first concern was the well-jbeing of her fellow members. the officer said. Capt Marquis spoke of the gratitude of the girls for quarters provided by the Red Cross, in the form of a clubhouse where the girls could bring their dates." or gather for bridge, or for music or a "snack at the food bar. In a place overrun by men.

the Red Cross station for the WACS was a sanctuary, she declared. Capt Marquis and some of her group met and conversed with the King of England, who was keenly interested in their work. He conversed with Capt Marquis about America, and was deeply concerned with the post-war relations and activities of the two countries. Capt Marquis was for 14 years concert manager of Town Hall in New York, and has worked as assistant director of the American Women's association of New York and as executive secretary of the New York Women's City cluh. She "hopes to heaven that she will be assigned to overseas service again.
