We are constantly being asked for
canteen workers, hostesses, child

translators and host of other
workers since under the civilian de-
fense setup the Civilian Defense
Volunteer Office is used as a re-
cruiting agency for all local civilian
defense activities as we'll as for other
social agencies coping with war
conditions in an overcrowded city.
Nearly half of our present volun-
teer jobs have been filled by men
and women who are holding down
paid jobs Mrs. Bernton explained

tap the large reservoir of house
wives and mothers who will be able
as block workers, to serve in their
immediate communities

stantly geeting calls for more auxili-
