seemed to enjoy it very much,
especially upon producing the
admiral King Color Decora-
tion," and the initiating of our
first World War II member.
Baseball also had considerable
attention and the Post went on
record to sponsor a team this
year. The decoration which is
blue with white lettering was
awarded to the Post by the
American Legion Department
of Ohio for exceeding our men,
bership quota for 1914, and to-
gether with our white and gold

it will. add that much more
beauty and distinction. The

My dear friends and readers
of the Enakopravnost:
l have been stationed in Gle
veland, Ohio, since March lstI
of this year. 1t has been a very
happy experience and a Fruit
full one for me to be stationed
here. BY this l mean that the
number of women enlisting
from the Cleveland area has
been most gratifying. To add to
this, may I say that the train
ing center for Wacs and at all
the other stations where Cleve-
land Wacs are working, the
headquarters of our Service
Command is continually get
ting reports about the excellent
performance of the work as
done by Cleveland Wacs. A
good many Cleveland women
are serving overseas and this
too is another example of the
fine quality of women who
have been sent from this area.
However, even though we have
fine record in Cleveland, we
cannot stop, but must go on
enlisting more and more wom-
en-. I have just received word
from our headquarters that
thousands of Wacs are needed.
There are many openings and
many fine opportunities for
Service in the Women's Army
Corps. They are needed in the
ARMY GROUND FORCES,
ARMY SERVICE FORCES,
ARMY AIR FORCES, and also
OVERSEAS. That is, quail
fled applicant may, choose
where she will serve her ap-
premiership in the States and
then choose the area overseas
in which she wishes to serve. A
Wac may also choose to serve
near home, if she desires, and
will be given this privilege on
completing basic training. Wacs
are needed in the u. S. Army
Hospital all over the United
States, they are needed in the
Army Air Bases, at Army
Posts. The need is greater now
than ever, and l cannot stress
too Importantly the fact, that
all Wacs are doing a vital job
and their performance of their
jobs is helping to Win the War,
to insure permanent Peace
not only for the United States
but for the whole World.
| trust that all of you read
ers who have sons and daugh-
ters in the Service, will continue
your faith in them, and may
they all return safe and sound
in mind and body to you after
the War is over. May none of
your loved ones be gold stars,
may they all remain as blue
stars.
Thank you, kindly for read
ing my letter. extend a cordi-
al invitation to you all to come
and visit US at any time in our
offices located at 1918 E. 9Th
Street, Cleveland, Ohio. Or, if
we can be of service in any way,
just call Main 1896 and we
will be glad to help you.

LONDON, March 20. Marshal Josef Stalin announced tonight the Russian capture of Mogilev Podolski, broadening the Red Army's base of operations in Bessarabia. To the northeast the Germans ad- mitted the abandonment of the con- tested stronghold of Vinnitsa.
 The Russians along 3l-mile front have already crossed the Dniester, whose high west banks formed the Russian -Rumanian frontier between the two World Wars.
 A previous Moscow announcement said the capture of Mogilev Podol- ski gave them a second main spring board for their smash on the former domain abdicated by King Carol and its rich oil fields.
 The British radio, quoting an Ankara report, said German troops have occupied Hungary, and all strategic points are in German hands" Hungary lies south of the 'Carpathian Mountains and is within sight of Russian troops.
 Mogilev Podolski is on the east bank of the Dniester. 35 miles north west of Yamool, where the Russians made their first entry into Bess- arabia.
