"What can you say?"

Yesterday I met her for the first time since we heard that Tom was
killed.

Poor woman! She looked much smaller... seemed more frail... had a
tightness in her face.

We stood there talking.

Trivialities.

What can you say to a mother who has lost her only son?

"If only there was something I could do," I finally blurted
out.

Her eyes took in my slacks, the lunchbox in my hand. Her smile was
real ... like I remembered his.

"You're doing it, my dear," she said. "God bless you,
child, and thank you?"

THE more you do to help speed our victory the more I lives you'll help
save.

Women are needed in war plants ... necessary civilian work ... the
armed forces.

Most communities are desperately short of workers. Skilled ... or
untrained... you're needed ... urgently needed.

There are hundreds of different jobs to be filled ... hundreds of jobs
in which you will find the satisfaction of speeding victory.

Make up your mind to join the millions of women at war ... today!

See the Help Wanted ads in local newspapers. Visit the nearest U.S.
Employment Office. Or apply at Army or Navy Recruiting stations.
