Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jack Benny. There's a tough job ahead of us in winning this war, and millions of more wax are needed to help win it. This need is real, it's crucial. And if you have menfolk overseas, this is your way of speeding their return.

Enlistment in the wax means many unusual opportunities for women. There are 239 different jobs to choose from. As a wack recruit, you can select the Army Air Forces, ground forces or service forces. Your pay as an enlisted WAC or an officer is exactly the same as Army pay.

You'll lead an interesting life. You may get a chance for service overseas. The uniform you wear will win attention and respect. It's the uniform of your country. You are eligible for the WACs if you're an American citizen between 20 and 49 years of age with no children under 14.

You can apply at the nearest US Army Recruiting Office. Remember, this is invasion year. As a whack, you can share with our brave fighting men the responsibility and the honor of winning this war. The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program, coming to you from the Army airfield at LeMour, California, and starring Jack Benny

with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. Look folks, the crops are good this year and there's enough food to go around if we all do our part and back up Uncle Sam's no point, low point food program.

That means if we all eat plenty of the swell foods we can get for few points or no points. Now one of the foods we're asked to eat more of are cereals with whole grain food values.
