By MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—Women volunteers in civilian war services have. gone through ‘a shaking down in the first year of war According to leaders in the Red Cross and American Women’s Voluntary Services, the “glamour gals” who quickly leaped into uniform with their minds centered on adventure and romance have largely disappeared. The organizations have grown greatly and now total 3,825,000 women—women who are concerned with serious service. Alice . Throckmorton - McLean, founder and president of the A. W. V. S, says: “The glamour of a uniform still exists, but today the woman in uniform knows that wearing it with honor requires knowledge and ning.” A.W. V. S. activities have shifted radically. The motor corps, once extremely active, has been sharply braked by gas rationing. Many members, encouraged by Mrs. Mclean and other leaders, have transferred to military auxiliaries or the land army.

8 ” ” “WED LIKE TO see our trained women going out to run tractors and teach farmers’ wives, “to run them,” she said. “It seems to me our place will be more and more in the land army and in dealing “with the woman in the home — helping in child care, where mothers are in industry,

They're already training people in _.child care, both in cities and rural areas. On Dec. 7, 1941, they had 125,000 members in 230 units: a year later, 325,000 in 462 units. The Red Cross motor corps uses ingenuity to combat gas rationing. Bicycle squads and scooterambulances are in service and one ‘whole disaster unit goes out on = horseback. Yet the: motor corps is small in the over-all picture of voluntary services. The Red Cross had 1,215,679 ‘members, who did 80,900,627 hours ‘of ‘work in the year last year

These are taking on a new slant, too. In the first months of 1942, when public attention was on the possibility of being bombed, people rushed to take first-aid training for their own use and 5,500,000 first aiders were certified.

A million more will be trained by June. Mrs. Dwight Davis, national director of Red Cross volunteer special services, says many of her trained volunteers are absorbed by the war industries, But she doesn’t mind. Let them take jobs and go right on as Red Cross volunteers, too, is the official attitude. And a great many volunteers do just that.

By MRS.

I “won't let myself ‘think about it.” Atta girl! John should be proud of such a mother. Her second Temark proved, not that she is resigned and unafraid but that she is strong enough to conquer her fears by refusing to give way to them. There are two sorts of trouble in life, say the psychologists—the kind we can get rid of by our own efforts, and the kind we cannot control. War stands in the latter category. So does everything that goes with it—domestic upheavals, separation and death. In fact modern men and women are living through a vast Greek

quirements, highly educated women are now being employed by government departments ‘and industrial enterprises as draftswomen, laboratory workers and: planning assistants. To meet the demand for such posts, the ministry of labor established the Women’s Technical Serve ice register on: which. girls may enroll who have taken a “school leaving” certificate—equivalent - to American college board examinations —and who have an aptitude for mathematics, physics, chemistry. or general science. Those accepted are given six months training in various courses during. which they spend half their time in the workshops and half oh theory. A course in draftsmanship aims primarily at producing junior draftswomen capable of making de{tailed drawings from assembly draw=ings, or vice versa, and of doing elementary calculations.

The Jobs They Get

The basic course of workshop practice includes experience in the fitting shop on the usual types of machine tools. An intensive inspection course.includes both the theoretical and practical approach to inspection, emphasis being laid on the materials used in war production, while a practical electrical course covers the fundamentals of electrical installation and testing. Girls who have taken these courses subsequently become assist ants to the chief instructors in training schools of engineering firms, junior draftswomen, assistants in planning production, electrical technicians, laboratory assistants and chemical analysts. ; The Women’s Technical Service register also places girls as assistants to inspectors of engineering products before delivery and as assistants in map-making and meteorology. fe
