Iowa WAVES
Throughout the continental United States some 1,600 girls are helping with the war by serving their country as WAVES. The tasks at which the Iowans are working are typical of the varied and interesting jobs the WAVES are doing to replace men for the fighting front. The national recruiting quota is 1,200 a week and by the end of 1944 the navy hopes to have 94,000 WAVES.
