National League for Women's
Service Outline Plans to Aid

City hospitals, free clinics, the health
department. and particularly invalid
women and children for the next year
are to have the benefit of the volun
teer service, ambulances and private
motor cars Of the New York city mo-
tor corps Of the National League for
Women's Service, according to the
plans outlined at a meeting of the
corps, held this week at the headquar
tiers of the league.
Following discussion by members of
the corps, 1t was voted to begin i'm
mediately social service and hospital
work which is to be carried on in the
place of the military and other service
handled by the corps during the war
Captain Katharine Richards, who pre-
sided at the meeting said that the dis
patch service and the driving for the
army and the navy no longer required
the main attention of the corps, but
would be continued as long as the need
existed.
1--WE need new recruits for all our
work" said Captain Richards. I'VE
want women who can pass our me-
chanic's test and meet the other re-
quirements we impose. Our drivers
give from one hour to six days a week
service. The transporting of poor,
crippled children and invalid women TO
the hospitals and clinics for treatment
is about the most important service
we can render the community at this
time"
