In view of the urgent need for manpower, the department of de fense has planned a unified cam paign—Share Service for Free dom—to recruit 72,000 women in to the armed forces .by next July. There are many openings in each of the following fields: per sonnel and administration, medi cal, communications, supply, in telligence, finance, food service, information and education, photography, scientific services, and special services. The minimum qualifications I are 18 to 34 years of age, a high school graduate. Period of en listment are 2-years for army and 3-years for air force.
