gaze takes in not only present
problems, but those of the postwar
era.
For more than two years Mrs.
Graves has worked as volunteer
for the American Womens Vol
untary Services; recently she has
been appointed chief of the train
ing section. This means that she
has charge of the training of wom-
en- as photographers, as switchboard
operators, as Motor Corps drivers,
as workers in hospitals at night,
as mothers aides to 60 into homes
and help mothers with new ba-
bies, and great many other
courses that the AWVS gives for
the good of the community.
The AWVS feels a RESPONSE
bility toward the community"
said Mrs. Graves. 1T started out
to meet a war emergency. Many
OF those first projects have been
eliminated, many have been stream
lined, and many new projects have
been added in answer to new needs
of the community in which we
serve"
