Keep Women Busy to Avoid Hysteria,
Voluntary Services Leader Believes
BY FRANCES LIDE,
Women's Club Editor.

Nor is volunteer work new to
Mrs. Long, who served as a Red
Cross nurses aide for six years,
contributing about eight hours of
work weekly to several local hos
pitals.
Her varied activities in the
past also included period on the
stage as a ballet dancer, writing
a gossip column and operating a
shop which specialized in auto
mobile accessories.
But she credits the Red Cross
with imposing the most valuable
lesson she's received in the mat
ter of discipline.
"As nurses aide" she re
marked, you take your orders, or
else. And the actual work you do
is the best possible training"
With the A. w. V. S. movi.ls
this week end into new head
quarters at 217O Florida avenue
NV, its training school is due
for immediate expansion. Several
new classes will get underway TO-
morrow.
New First Aid Groups
Won't Meet Demand.
The school offers a variety of
courses in defense work, but It's
first aid classes are by far che
most popular. The seven new
classes to start within the mex.
two weeks will not begin to meet
the demand, Mrs. Long Geclarcd

tors" she explained, and there
were $50 on Our waiting list the
first of the month-beiore the
real rush started
Telephone switchboard also has
been a popular course and num-
ber of volunteer operators already
are working with the Police and
Fire Departments and with the
District Office of Civilian Defense,
she said.
Mrs. Dean G. AcheSon recently
was appointed dean of the train
ing school, while Mrs. Longs
assistants are Mrs. Donald
Church and Miss Murtel Kinds

Mrs. Daniel c. Long, who be-
neves the way to avoid hyster1a
now is to give everybody some
work to do, does her bit to keep
women as busy as possible
through the American Women's
Voluntary Services.
If she advocates work for
others, however, the youthful
Mrs. Long has set schedule for
herself which amply demon
strates her willingness to "prac-
tice what you preach"
Her major job with the A. w.
v. S. is directing its defense
training school. But she also
manages to teach some OF It's
first aid classes, and in the
Massachusetts apartment where
she's now residing, recently Or
ganized it's first aid station.
Other Activities Claim
Her Time as Well.
MIS-. Longs activities, however,
are not confined to defense work.
Both Columbia Hospital ana
the Children's Country Home
claim some of her time, as she
is a board member of both insti-
tutions.
About one afternoon a week she
becomes bookkeeper and secre-
tary for her husbands construc-
ton business.
And at home there are two
little daughters whose welfare
and happiness must be their
mothers first concern.
Does she budget her time?
well, no." Mrs. Long replies.
"Thmgs just seem to work out.
But we've stopped going out.
And I don't play much bridge
though we still manage game at
least once a week"
Her interest in defense, how
ever, is shared by her husband.
Mr.. Long heads up the rescue
sqaads in the District civilian
defense program.
