who is now recruiting Wacs, in this area, as he spoke before the Hudson Falls Rotary Club yesterday noon at the Carleton Hotel. Lt. Sarvis said he was not in accord with those who expect a quick ending of the war: "The time when the war is to be ended is as settled as whether Dewey or Roosevelt will be the next president of the United States. There are many guessers but no one knows. There is still a hard and long road ahead, I feel.

I expect to be in this war for some time," he declared. There are a great many more Wacs needed than it has been possible to recruit, Lt. Sarvis said. "The recruiting. of Wacs has not been the success we had hoped for.

present per cent of the Wacs are. overseas, leaving only 20 per cent here to care for the thousands of service men returning for treatment." on the problem of jobs for veterans, Lt. Sarvis said that he will depend upon the manufacturing and business -establishments and the employment services. He told of being associated with men in the service who, before enlisting or being drafted, had earned as high as $1,000 a month. He said "It will be awfully hard for many men whom I know are drawing down from $500 to $700 a month, to return to jobs paying $150 per Many of the flying men, who are very proficient in the skies overseas will find that they are not fitted for work with transport companies; said Lt.

Sarvis. "There are thousands of men in the fighting forces who are better off financially than they ever were before and it will be very hard for them to accept the prevailing wages in the industries in which they were formerly employed," said the speaker. He added that returning veterans, in many cases will be compelled to compete against women who have entered industry in large numbers. At the present time, said Lt. Sarvis, there are 32,000 women, needed for the medical corps who are over 20 years of age with high school educations and are physically fit, The veterans' hospitals in the United States are understaffed, he stated.

Canavan, a member of a quartermaster transportation company, went overseas last Summer and traveled in many parts of the British Isles before being sent to France. Twenty-five thousand American soldier-truckers and auxiliaries riding the famed Red Ball Highway were told recently in a congratulatory message from Gen. Eisenhower that they were shaping the war's destiny as much. as any combat Later, the Communications Zone chiefs who planned and who control the highway revealed some of its secrets at a Paris press conference and a 12th Army Group staff officer said that upon it depended how soon came a mass thrust into Germany. At.

the press conference, Maj. Gen. Frank E. Ross, chief of transportation, CZ, said Red Ball Highway, four times as long as the Burma Road, had hauled 150,000 tons up to Sept. 10.

Sixty per cent of the truckers are Negro soldiers, hauling ammunition, gasoline and other supplies from beaches, depots and ports to railheads and dumps. As the front line goes forward the length of the trip increases. Right around the clock the trucks pound two mafor highways, one going east, the other west. Born of necessity after the breakthrough at St. Lo, Red Ball derived its name from an old railway term (railmen marked priority cars with a red dot) and Red Ball trucks bear.

8 brilliant red disk. Only they may use the two routes. Transportation Corps experts supervise its operation; Quartermaster Corps soldiers furnish most of the supplies, trucks and drivers; engineers. repair roads and bridges; Ordnance men service the vehicles: the Signal Corps' maintains communications: MP's direct traffic and clear the road of "outsiders" and medics operate aid stations along the route. The American Red Cross chipped in with eight clubmobiles, to ply the roads.

Red Ball -trains usually return from the front loaded with captured enemy goods. Halfway along the eastbound route, drivers are changed. Lt. Canavan says that he traveled far and wide in Fran i seen all places of importance an Is so impressed with the country that he hopes to have the means when the war is over to take his wife there for a visit. While in Scotland, he had hoped to look up his uncle's family but did not have the time.
