100 WOMEN NEEDED
FOR ARMY HOSPITALS
In a letter to Gov. R. Gregg
Cherry asking that he exercise his
leadership, Chief of Staff, George
C. Marshall, General of the Army,
urged that 7 platoons of women be
recruited immediately from North
Carolina to be trained as members
of Women’s Army Corps General
Hospital Companies.
“With Army casualty lists
steadily mounting and because of
the critical shortage of doctors
and nurses in Army hospitals, the
only final source of potential aid
is from women between the ages
of 20 and 49,” said Governor
Cherry.
“It is North Carolina’s sacred
duty,” continued the Governor, “to
help restore the health of these
wounded heroes, many of them our
own Carolina boys, and I know
our women will never fail these
men as they are again called upon
to fight—this time a difficult re
habilitation struggle—the Battle
of America.”
Pointing out that these 7 pla
toons comprising 105 women, need
not have had past medical techni
cian experience, since the Army
would train them, Governor Cherry
nevertheless stated that the appli
cant’s experience and aptitudes, as
well as her inclinations and pref
erences, would be taken into con

potential qualifications for a par
ticular type of training to prepare
her for service with a WAC hos
pital unit, and to determine wheth
_er she can best perform technical,
administrative or clerical duties.
“The plan is to assign one officer
