"You can free a man to fight/Men fill jobs that YOU can do!" Pages from "CWAC Digest: Facts About the C.W.A.C"

Have you ever thought that you may not be doing all that you should do to help win the war? You may be working from 9 to 6, you may be doing voluntary work of one kind or another, but is that the utmost you can do? Can't the work which you are doing be done by someone else - someone who hasn't your youth, your health and strength, your freedom?

Three years ago there were women in Canada who resented the fact that they were not allowed to take their rightful places beside their men in the army doing work that women could do. They saw that these men were taking women's places, and they resolved to get in there and do the work which belonged to them.

Out of their determination, strengthened by the growing need for men in the fighting lines, the Canadian Women's Army Corps was born. Since that time, some 15,000 women who felt as they felt have followed them. They are doing their utmost to make this world safe and free, to make it a place where little children may play and grow up ... safe from the threat of future wars.

The military leaders of our nation know that if the C.W.A.C. were eliminated the military machine which has been built up would be crippled, for thousands of men now on the fighting lines could not be there except for the C.W.A.C.

Would you deprive a fighting man of his opportunity to fight? Do you want some fighting man to do your job? If you don't, why don't you join the C.W.A.C.?

In this booklet are illustrations of different kinds of work which are open to you. Study the pictures, see where you might fit in. There is something you can do; something which will help to shorten the war; something which will let some man who has been doing your work get out of it and into the fight. Don't let a man take your place if you can help it.

Some men still fill jobs that women can do... they wait for YOU to take their places.
