H. Archibald of Anaheim. He devoted much of his time to a discussion of the historical background of India under the rule of the Brahmins, saying that it was the native's belief that Brahma created the universe. The meeting Drive Started to Enlist 100 Wacs For Service In Army Medical Department A desperate plea for rapid enlistments into the Woman's Army Corps, to supply sorely needed womanpower to aid the Medical Department in its vital task of caring for increased battle casualties, was flashed to the Wac recruiting office in Santa Ana today from the War Department. "Critical need for WAC medical technicians . . . army hospitals far understaffed . . . get all possible enrolled immediately." was held at the home of Ms. W. Dickenson of South Loara.

Main caste is subdivided hundreds of lesser castes, with some task to perform. This system the women of lost their freedom and the er mass of the people live bondage and depression.

Johnston and his bride, the former Mrs. Margaret Anderson of Anaheim, at the home of the H. B. Pearson on North Clementine street. The reception, from 3 to 5 o'clock, was one of the loveliest affairs of the winter. Beautiful arrangements of pink gladioli, soft lights and incidental music further enhanced the occasion. Mrs. H. B. Pearson, Mrs. W. C. Maxwell and the honored guests were in the receiving line. Throughout the afternoon Mrs. John Bouel was at the piano while Gordon Purdy sang several delightful solos.

Dr. and Mrs. Johnston's marriage was one of the events of mid-December. They have established their home at 205 South Claudina street and are planning a month's trip to Mexico City sometime in the near future. A desperate plea for rapid enlistments into the Woman's Army Corps; to supply sorely needed womanpower to aid the Medical Department in its vital task of caring for increased battle casualties; was flashed to the Wac recruiting office in Santa Ana today from the War Department. "Critical need for WAC medical technicians . . . army hospitals far understaffed . . . get all possible enrolleed immediately . . ." was the gist of the telegram received by Lt. Herbert W. Humber, in charge of WAC recruiting in the Santa Ana area. Although Wacs have been recruited before for duty with the Medical Department, Lt. Humber declared that this message marks the beginning of the greatest drive this nation has seen to enlist women in bringing health back to the Army's maimed and wounded soldiers. It was clear, Lt. Humber said, that the need for Wacs to serve as medical technicians and assistants to doctors and nurses in Army hospitals, is every bit as critical as the nurse shortage. General George C. Marshall, Army chief of staff, accompanied the urgent message to recruiters with a call to the governors of all states to do everything possible to aid in enrolling Wacs for service in the Army's 60 general hospitals. So great is the immediate need for these Wacs in the Medical Department, Lt. Humber was informed, that the War Department has decided to shorten the training time for medical technicians to get the women on the job more quickly. Women between the ages of 20 and 49, inclusive, whether they have had any medical training or not, are urged to call Lt. Humber or one of his assistants today at the local WAC recruiting office, located at 206 North Main St., Santa Ana, for further information. The telephone number is 6076. Horace Mann P.T.A.
