They remain in the reserves until age 40. Their service life is not nearly as harsh as the male's. Women have the same pay, benefits, and privileges as career personnel from day one. They can live in a dormitory or at their own expense. Civilian y clothing may be worn and passes are not. required. And they get 30 days leave plus travel during each hitch.

During World War II, the Soviets had three female air regiments: fighter, short-rang- bomber, and night light bomber. Women served in combat as snipers, machine gunners, tank crew members and as air defense gunners. The Armed Forces designated 91 women as "Hero of the Soviet Union."

Red Cross blood replacement There has been some publicity of late from the local media that the American Red Cross will be closing their doors in a few months, due to a new blood collecting group in our area. The report somehow inferred that the loss of two hospitals out of 45 serviced was going to close the doors. THIS IS NOT TRUE! The report was based on information taken out of context. The two major hospitals may, over some time, provide their own blood or look to another supplier. Even if this does occur, there is still a great need for the American Red Cross in this area. There are many other hospitals and patients who will need Red Cross blood.
