Local Woman In WAC Enthused About Her Work

Recruiting agent tor the Los Angeles. Calif., district of the WAC, Lt. Marie D. Hilton feels that her work in the service has been one of the mast valuable experiences she has had and urges all women to enlist immediately if they find it possible.

Not only is the work completely engrossing but it is unusually satisfying to any woman who wants to feel herself valuable in the war effort, according to the lieutenant, who urges Ann Arbor women who are capable of the task to join the Army Medical Corps as a WAC, thus serving in the branch of service where there is most urgent need of such workers.

The lieutenant, first volunteer candidate for the WAC to enlist from Ann Arbor, came here on leave from her recruiting duties in Los Angeles last week to see her son, Pfc. Harry H. Hilton, before he was to leave for overseas.

Unfortunately, the young combat engineer was forced to leave for the west coast a few hours before his mother arrived in Ann Arbor. Lt. Hilton’s other son, William Anthony Hilton, a seaman, second class, with the Navy Seabees is stationed on New Caledonia, having been overseas for a year.

Lt. Hilton, who organized the first USO center in Ann Arbor at the YMCA, worked for the War Manpower Commission at the U. S. Employment Service, 312 E. Huron St., before entering the service.
