springs who might find this a great opportunity to start a shipment harangue, don't do it. The Wacs are not coming in to replace you. They're coming in to augment the men and Wacs the ATC now has. It just needs more people, and not in slight dribbles.
We feel somewhat pleased about the campaign here because one of the civilian girls in the public relations office, Jean Roberts, a news-writer, has already turned in her resignation to enlist in the Wac on the day the drive opens.

Jean N. Roberts, daughter of Dave Roberts, outdoor editor and editorial writer for The Enquirer, was photographed when being sworn into the Women's Army Corps yesterday afternoon by Captain William R. Gedding, Public Relations Officer, Ferrying Division, Air Transport Command. Lieutenant Helen Cahill, WAC recruiting officer, viewed the proceedings. 
Miss Roberts is a graduate of Anderson Township High School, where she was editor of the school 

paper. She also wrote a column in the Lantern, Ohio State University paper, while attending that institution.
Dave says it was his daughter's enthusiasm that got her into the Army. Working for the Air Transport Command in Cincinnati, she helped write recruiting publicity for the WAC. Reading and writing about it, she sold herself a bill of goods. Dave is a veteran of World War I.
The Roberts family lives at 6162 Salem Pike.
