you can be trained to be an ex-
pert driver. If not, you are weeded
out before the AVIS has
wasted any valuable time trying
to teach you to drive. But If you
are good, you are given the in
struction and training necessary
for the motor corps.
Miss Bernstein says she had
never driven heavy vehicle her
self until last December, when
she and Mrs. Elizabeth Cromley
and two other motor corps girls
were sent to New York to bring
back two ton-and-a half ambu-
lances. It was freezing day and
the ambulances looked bigger
than anything the girls had ever
seen before. They climbed in
and started toward Washington.
Just as Miss Bernstein and Mrs.
Cromley were about to start off,
one of the men called to them,
ITO go into reverse, pick up the
lever!" That bit of valuable in
struction was the only advice they
had. But they made it, and now
every member of the motor corps
