First War Recruiting Post Since 1945 Opens in City
The Woman's Army Corps opens a recruiting office in Syracuse for northern New York. Capt Laurel B. Rajski from Stevens Point Wisconsin will lead WAC recruiting in the district, with Sgt Christabel M. Wood from Johnson City handling local enlistments. Rajski, with 29 months overseas in Berlin, arrived in 1945 and returned to the U.S. last December. Wood enlisted February 12, 1943, served at Fort Monmouth New Jersey, and attended Johnson City High School. The program to enlist women in the Wac and the U S Air Force is set to take effect September 15, with re-enlistment allowances of 350 per year of prior service for eligible discharged personnel.
