Motor Corps Dwvers Needed
By Betty Grove Smith.

Once again the Red Cross is ask
ing for more volunteer daytime
drivers for the District of Columbia
Chapter Motor Corps. At least 100
are needed, and needed urgently.
The reasons are that the Red Cross
Motor Corps services the entire
Red Cross. Without it no corps, no
Red Cross service could function so
efficiently or smoothly. Every one
who knows anything about Red
Cross work knows that it will go
on after the war and that much of
its work will be heavier than ever.
If the war ended tomorrow. Red
Cross services to returning service
men and their families would
almost surpass Red Cross wartime
services. The fighting men OF
America have come to depend on
the Red Cross and the Red Cross is
not going to let them down now or
/ after the war.
If YOU are one of the women who
has not done any volunteer work
perhaps because your children were
smaller and needed your full time
here is your chance to do a really
worthwhile volunteer job now
Your children are older than they
were when the war started-foul
years older. They can spare you 8
little easier now, maybe for two
days a week, You can take the
new streamlined motor mechanics
course in Is hours instead of the
80 hours it used to take. Then yor
take the standard first-aid and ad-
vanced first-aid courses OF course
