Learning To Drive

In the United States, each year
sees nearly one million brand new
motorists take the wheel and be-
gin the process of acquiring skill
in driving. Driving Is one Of the
| things that can best be learned by
doing. To many it comes quite
naturally; to others it does not.
There is reason to believe that
the beginner who is of a mechani-
cal turn of mind has advantages
over the beginner who, lacking
mechanical interest, is forced 10
learn his driving technique entire
ly by rule. This is because the
mechanfcaIpinded driver under
stands the reasons for each move,
comes to see, subconsciously, the
mechanical processes set in motion
by his hand or foot, and thinks OF
his driving in terms of what is
happening under the hood.
But anyone who will take the
trouble to ground himself in GER
tain fundamentals about his car is
Likely to develop into a safe and
skilful operator, whether he hap
pens to be Observation-Disclosures or
not.
To the thousands of young peo-
pie, in particular, who since last
spring have taken up driving for
the first time, the arrival of au-
tumn is a critical period in the
process Of learning to drive. In
way. it is their introduction to an
entirely new type of operation,
calling for greater care and skill
than is needed when pavements
are dry, visibility is good, ana
traction is at its best.
With modern automobiles, the
drivers control over his car is
just as complete in winter as at
any other time. But it frequently
requires greater skill to exercise
this control and for this reason
the new driver should be extra
cautious during the season when
frequent rains, soggy wet leaves
and periods of hazy weather com
plicate the task Of driving.
Especially in towns and cities
wet leaves constitute the greatest
autumn hazard. BY making starts
and stops less certain, they de-
mand of even the experienced
driver a degree of caution he has
had little occasion to use since
the snow and ice went out last
spring. To the novice. they pre-
sent some problems which are
entirely new.

Record Number of Dis
asters Reported by
Red Cross for Year

The American Red Cross gave
emergency relief and rehabilita-
ton aid to 100000 sufferers of
157 disasters in the United States
during the fiscal year ended June
30, according to a report sub
mitted by Dewitt Smith, newly
appointed director of the Red
Cross disaster relief service.
Mr.. Smith said the number
Of disaster operations exceed
ed that of any previous year,
with cloudbursts, epidemics,
fires, windstorms, snowslides,
and other catastrophes striking
in 43 states and the territory Of
Alaska. Red Cross disaster relief
expenditures totaled S2,276,109
for the year.
"Since its founding in 1881 the
Red Cross has aided victims of
2,495 disasters here and abroad,
expending s143, 100000 for rescue,
food, clothing, shelter, medical
and nursing aid and the perma-
nent rehabilitation of families
una able to re-establish them
selves" Mr.. Smith said.

one project, however, that threat
ems to become a mighty big job.
1t started in small way when
she set out to write a thesis about
crippled children, as part of her
work In acquiring a doctors degree
at George Washington University.
One thing lead to another, and
now she knows the life history of
nearly every crippled child in Ari-
zona. She is trying to make their
lot a little easier by helping them
to obtain disqualification and bet
ter schooling. Perhaps you know
one or two or even a dozen Grip
pied children in Arizona, but Mrs
Murdoch has found nineteen-hun-
dred.
And now she has started some
thing else. She borrowed a corner
of the Congressman front office
and is using it to display the
literature of Arizona's ranch
schools and guest ranches. Every
school and ranch has been invited
to send it's pamphlets.
Mrs. Murdoch explained that
senators and representatives, as
well as many others, often inquire
about such places, and if they can
not find out about Arizona's at
fractions, they may have to go
elsewhere to something almost
as good"
1t is a national tradition, you
know, that a Congressman wife
belongs to a certain social set in
Washington, and her days must be
spent in hobnobbing with other
Congressmens wives and slipping
afternoon tea. l am not saying
share of Capital society. She does,
and it is not at all unusual to find
Mrs. Murdoch does not get her
her picture in Washington papers.
But I do thing that Arizona is
lust a little better off because she
swigs her pekoe and gets back to
those projects.

said that PTA ideals should be
put to work in every day living.
The standards. ethics and philo-

dren need example and we'll as
precept. The home, should be a
small democracy, according to Mrs.
Bons' talk, one in which the well
fare of the whole for the whole
should be the first consideration
stressed.
Members of the PTA should
keep this ideal of the "good of
the whole in the foreground, and
must hold firm consideration for
all people and ways of living. She
urged that care be taken not to
become "smug" for smugness will
breed intolerance toward others.

Washington.-The Red Cross re-
serve of registered nurses qualified
for immediate duty is stronger than
ever before, Miss Mary Beard, direc-
tor of the American Red Cross nurs-
ing services, announced.
"We now have a first reserve Of
5000 unmarried nurses under 40
years of age available for duty with
the Army, Navy or government
nursing services and subject 10 call
by the Red Cross for disaster work."
she said. This is 700 more than any
previous first reserve registration"
Miss Beard pointed out that the
increase has been gradual and that
only registered nurses meeting rigid
requirements of training and physi-
cal fitness are enrolled. All classes
of nurse reservists, including nurses
now employed by the Red Cross,
bring the reserve corps total to
44,2S3. During the World War of
1914-1S the American Red Cross
mustered nearly 10000 nurses for
duty with Army, Navy and Red
Cross hospitals, at home and over
seas.
Maintenance of the Nurses Re-
serve is provided by our charter
and is in line with Red Cross poll
cies Of prevention and preparedness,
but the peacetime work of our
nurses is equally important" Miss
Beard said.
The director explained that more
than 1000 nurses, chiefly home hy-
giene and care of the sick instruc-
tors, were regularly engaged in Wis
iting the sick, aiding physicians in
examining school children, conduct
ing incubation programs to stamp
out contagious illness, launching
trial nursing services in out-of-she-
way communities, and carrying on
important health education work to
qualify family groups to care for
sickness at home.
All nurses who are needed for
Red Cross nursing activities are
drawn from the Red Gross reserve
of qualified nurses, Miss Beard said.
Last year Red Cross public health
nurses made more than one million
visits on behalf of the sick and gave
skilled care to 272,729 persons. The
ma .ority of Red Cross nursing SER
vices cover entire counties to in
clude both rural areas and indus
trial centers where nursing help is
scarce.
Last year, in schools and clinics,
nurses cooperated with physicians
in examining 595,575 children, and
aided in the task of correcting de
fects. Children examined were en-
rolled for the most part in rural
schools where this type OF preven-
tive service is rare. There are 655
Red Cross nurses engaged in this
work in ATT communities.
In the field of health education,
Red Cross nurses have instructed
more than 100000 family members
since 1914 in how to care for the
sick at home and have set new
standards of hygiene for the family.
Last year the Nursing Service held
4,505 classes in home hygiene and
care Of the sick and awarded GER
tificates to 61,296 persons who
passed examinations.
This service to the public Is sup
ported by the men and women who
join as members Of the Red Cross,
through their local Chapters, during
the Roll Call, November IL to 80.
