In this fourth year of war the need for food is greater than ever before. I call upon every American to help increase the Nation's food supply ... By growing larger and better victory gardens and seeing them through to the harvest. By preserving our food at home or in a community canning center. By conserving food in every possible way--wasting not an ounce. Our food will make a real contribution to the final victory and the peace. There can be no lasting peace in a hungry world. Harry S. Truman, the President of the United States of America.

For the first time since war began, experienced mechanics and radiomen are being hand picked for direct enlistment in the Army Air Forces. These men must be experienced in the use of hand tools--must be able to go right to work maintaining and repairing airplanes, engines, instruments, machine guns, and radio equipment. They must be skilled mechanics, whatever their civilian trades, so that they can quickly get the "feel" of the job. They must be capable of becoming noncommissioned officer specialists...

Nurses are needed now for service in the Army Nurse Corps! ... On a jungle trail deep in the wilds of a South Pacific island, an American soldier fell wounded, victim of a Jap sniper. He managed to hurl a grenade which killed the Jap and to take the sulfa tablets which every soldier carries. Then he lapsed into a coma. A short time later corpsmen found him. At a surgery just behind the battle lines, medical officers removed the bullet and the wounded GI was rushed by ambulance to an advanced air base hacked out of the jungle. There he was placed in the care of a U. S. Army flight nurse who four days later turned him over to a hospital in southern California. The flight nurse who played a major role in this miracle of wartime transportation was one of hundreds who are writing a new chapter in medical history. Serving on every front, they help speed America's wounded to hospitals equipped for every type of treatment. Longest air evacuation route in the world is that flown by the nurses of the Seventh Air Force. They make a 2,500-mile run over the Pacific, attending wounded being borne by air from the Marshall Islands to Hawaii. The pictures on this page show the Seventh Air Force nurses bivouaced in Hawaii, "toughening up" for their arduous assignment.
