be sfenderized ” She explained to a reporter that the regulation ."was just formalizing what has always been official policy*—to keep WACs trim and fit fdr duty." r The regulation strikes a hopeful cote that most WACs will meet the new standards without a sergeant putting them through com--pulsory calisthenics. “For some! women,” it states, “it will be] found that formal daily, activities’ supply all or most of the exercise! needed” to keep in shape. But there is also a threat for ! those overweight WACs who ar§ ; not thinned down by “normal” hetivities. “When it is apparent." the regulation adds, "that other means of epcercise have not enabled individuals to meet the. ; criteria L . . formal physical exer- : cise periods will be conducted.” The WACs need not fear they are headed for the obstacle course —'the bugbear of enlisted men in training. As the regulation states: “Certain important goals of military physical training for men. such as strengthening of muscle groups to meet the strains of combat and the development of a highly aggressive spirit, are neither required by nor appropriate to the military duties, assigned to women. and will not be pursued in a program for women."

Trucks and crews from the state highway garage at Bluffton painted white and yellow lines nearly the entire length of Monroe street I this afternoon.
