breathless reading . but the services feel they have much to offer neverthe less in fact the call to ser vice is on a much more practi cal and sound basis at the pres ent time than it was during the hectic days of the war when there was less opportunity to fit round pegs into round holes today's approach is more measured and orderly the women's branches of the services are now definitely es

for most people but for louise yim korean to the core they meshed as a single challenge dauntless and alone she tackled them her book illustrates what a selfless individual can do to ( hange not only the course of her own life but that of her neighbours and her country it reminds you of the impelling vigor of the verse there was much discussion over this issue a few months ago at the time the former waf director col geraldine may resigned from the ser ice reportedly as a result of la report of military adviser jacqueline cochran that the wafs needed streamlining at any rate popular colonel may was replaced shortly there after by former wave officer mary jo shelly and she turned uown a lieutenant colonelcy overseas tto quit the service to ruminate upon evils to make critical notes upon

and evaluate the opportunities tit military service with a career in mind — not necessarily a career in uniform but one which would be promoted by a turn with the services in some particular line this
