Sgt. Cunningham Sends e Plea

The many friends of Miss Eliza beth Cunningham of Forest Hills, Long Island, formerly residing on Laurel Street in this city, will be interested to know that she joined the WACS in March of this year. She received her basic training at Camp Ruston in louisiana, and was sent from there to the State College for Women in Texas. After completing Q course in that Col lege, she was permanently assigned to the San Bernardino Army Air Base in San Bernardino, California, and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant 6 few weeks ago.
 Sergeant Cunningham writes of the many wonderful and advan- tageous opportunities which service in the WAC offers to each and every recruit, and has requested this newspaper to send forth a plea to all women without dependents, who want to help in big way to bring our soldiers home sooner, to re- spond to Uncle Sams urgent call right now for WACS; that the Army must have more WACS at once-every eligible woman is need ed and without delay, and that any one interested in this branch of the service over twenty and under fifty years of age should go to the nearest U. s. Army Recruiting Sta tion for full information about the WACS, the jobs they do, their train- ing, their pay and their opportuni- ties for service.

terans of Two World Wars In Armistice Day Program
"A New And Better Era Of Liberty Under God"
Gold Star Mothers Paid Beautiful Tribute Am'ee Day Address by Manager Meyer SchOy U Veterans Hospital Seriousness
 of Times Stressed - President ROOsevets Message Quoted

Tribute to mothers wearing in. signias of devotion to God, Country and Home-Oold Stars-was paid today by Meyer Schwolsky, manager of the U. s. Veterans hospital at Newington, speaking at the annual Armistice day dinner here today, Gold Star mothers of two wars were the guests of the veterans com mittee at The Elton this noon fol- lowing exercises at the honor roll in Library Park.
 The seriousness of the present era was stressed by Mir. Schwolsky who highlighted his address with re- marks from recent statements oi President Roosevelt; We must win the war. We must win the peace that is to follow" Also, that vic. tory will inaugurate "a new and bet ter era of liberty under God"
 In the course of his splendid ad- dress Mir. Schwolsky commented on provisions made by the U. s. gov ernment for the disqualification com pensation and rehabilitation of in- jured men. He outlined allowances made for families of servicemen and in brief statistical review indicat- ed that 75 disabled veterans of the present war are among the patients now reciving care at Newington.
 MT Schwolsky's address was as follows:
 It gives me great pleasure to ad- dress this splendid gathering, on this, the 25th anniversary of the finish of World War No. 1. That war to end all wars has brought us all disillusionment but with typi- cal American courage we are giving Hitler and Tojo "all the ammuni- tion" they ever dreamed we could assemble, and more. With our work, our conservation, our money and our unfaltering courage We will carry on this fight to a victorious finish. The national emergency, un- questionably the gravest in the his- tory of these United States, imposes solemn obligation on every last citizen of this country, man or woman, old or young, to contribute his or her full share to the accom- plishment of the nations task. That task President Roosevelt has suc- cinctly phrased in two brief sen- tences: We must win the war We must win the peace that is to fol- low!" In terms of spiritual resources it means we must do everything in our power not only to win the war but to win the peace for civilization and thus to inaugurate for all hu- manity, in the words of President Roosevelt, "a new and better era of liberty under Cod It is truly a serious time in which we find our selves today. A time for serious re- flection, for sober living, for prayer full devotion to duty, for whole hearted return to Gods law in order that we may once again deserve the

blessing of the peace on earth promised to men of good will. II Americans, soldiers all, face the war in this spirit, the blessings of God will surely accompany our cause and His Mercy will grant us the boon of victory and peace in His own good time.
 In the meantime we all carry on the work in which we find our selves. In Newington we carry on the splendid work of caring for the veterans now disabled, who are sent home from service.
 It is comforting to know that the establishment of modern hospitals is not the only evidence of the gov- ernmentS generous provision for the relief and welfare of those who have borne its arms, and of their dependents. It is meet that we here consider the ether benefits and services devised in their behalf, and the stupendouS organization that has been created to dispense them to all who may be entitled.
 In the establishment of the Vet eranS' Administration, is history $ most extensively and liberally de- signed welfare undertaking, and through its facilities for the exten- sion of the various benefits now authorized by law, there is hardly a case of human misfortune among the Wrold Wars disabled for which some form of substantial relief has not been provided, and no section of our vast domain to which its far flung activities do not extend.
 Under the provisions of existing legislation-and 1t should be under stood that all of our activities are restricted to specific provisions oi law-the Veterans Administration is now the instrument through which the government administers one of the country's largest busi- nesseS, devoted exclusively to Times most precious commodity-human relief.
