No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of Ood shine through. .$2.00 *1.00 .60 .j? .05 From Renascence. ?Edna St. Vincent Mlllay. United War Fund A Chance To Give T\0 you have a guilty feeling when you spend for indulgence? Do without it, and give the money to the United War Fund. This must be the spirit of those at home. Throughout the length and breadth of this fair land, untouched by the horrors that others ? some of them our own ? are suffering, the opportunity now comes to GIVE. Let no one say, when asked for a gift for this globe-encircling mercy fund, "My husband has made a donation", or "I have contributed through this-or that organization." If you cannot give generously, in the name of one you love and who will receive the ministrations of this world war chest, then think and give for these: A Greek ir other whose baby will die without American drugs. A British child, dumb from bombing raids, en abled to receive treatment to recover speech. A starving Chinese boy with match9tick legs fed back to life. Precious supplies to feed the starving and as suage the suffering of the next country we invade. Or the weary service man who gets a lift at a U.S.Ofc Center. Or a seaman, for rest in a hospital before he returns ; perhaps to face again a sea of torpedoes and blazing oil. Seeing these, can you spend for the luxury? Thinking of these, can you not fbrego the lux uries and some necessity to "Give until it hurts; then give until it doesn't hurt?" There are thousands of brave-hearted giving themselves.* How many great-hearted will give to help them? AN intensive campaign has been launched to re cruit North Carolina women for a state unit of the Woman's Army Corps, which is indorsed and led by Govenor Broughton. This is part of an All-States recruiting campaign Which has the full support of the Army. Major General William Bryden, commanding the Fourth Service Command with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, has issued an appeal to qualified women to meet the challenge of this appeal of their country ? an opportunity never before offered in its history. ? With the news of the drafting of fathers, there can remain no doubt in the mind of any qualified woman that her country needs her to do a man sized job, releasing a man for more arduous duties, General Bryden has stated. It has been announced that each unit will bear its state's name, carry the flag and be identified by a distinctive shoulder insignia throughout the period WAC Unit For North Carolina Classifications Announced By Our Local Board The following classifications are announced by the Local Selective Service Board.
