ject Of the corps is TO further aid
the hospital staff, the Office OF
Civilian Defense and the elm
les and blood banks by being
able to supply aides for emer-
gency as we'll as regular duty.
Mrs. John Arthur Of Mount

the corps and her first lieuten-
ant. who will have charge of
the secretarial work is Mrs. Ned

Shores: Mrs. Leon Meyers, Rich
mond; Mrs. Ellery Black, New
Haven and Mrs. John Spencer,

The members Of the corps are
graduate nurses aides who have
completed the American Red
Cross training course OF 80
hours and signified that they
will volunteer a minimum Of $50
hours year at st. Joseph's Hos
pital in Mount Clemens.
There are 35 women who have
received their certificates and to
date they have volunteered
4,729 hours. Many of those who
were graduated in the first class.
in October, 1912 have long since
passed the $50 hour mark and
are now doing volunteer work
at the Selfridge Field Hospital
as we'll as st. Joseph's Hospital.
Mrs. Fenton announced that
registration for the fourth class
is now in progress and as soon as
35 persons have registered, the
class will begin. The classes may
be held to suit the majority Of
) registrants and if necessary, will
meet three days a week instead
Of five as in former classes. The
training period is 80 hours and
the classes usually meet three to
four hours day. Following the
training period each aide volun-
teers $50 hours year, which
time may be arranged to suit the
aide and amounts to about three
or four hours a week.
The work is interesting and
very much needed due TO the
fact that so many graduate
nurses have been called into the
armed forces. Interested person
may contact Mrs. Fenton or the
Red Cross chapter office at 1870
