They Tackle Auto Motor Workings UNAFRAID ... It might be a bit greasy, but the motor of an automobile holds no fears for Mrs. Matt Browning (left) or for Mrs. Clinton Pugmire, who are being instructed if the mysteries of the internal combustion engine by C. M. Decker, auto mechanics in¬structor at Weber college. The women are members of the Red Cross motor corps, who are taking a course to qualify for the volunteer job. DUTIES MANY; PAY LACKING Motor Corps Members Buy Own Uniforms And Other Needs Dressed in old clothes and armed with mysterious-looking wrenches, screwdrivers and other tools hith¬erto believed to be for masculine use, 18 Ogden women began this week a study of auto mechanics at Weber college to fit them to be¬come members of the Red Cross motor corps. Headed by Mrs. L. T. Bass, cap¬tain, who drove ambulances for the Red Cross in the last war, the women have enrolled for training which includes elementary auto mechanics and advanced Red Cross first aid instruction. Leaders Appointed Mrs. Arthur Woolley is adjutant and Miss Barbara Weeks and Mrs. Brady Dirker are lieutenants of the corps under temporary ap¬pointments. The American Red Cross motor corps is organized to drive private cars, ambulances and supply trucks. The corps is the only Red Cross unit with an expense at¬tached to its volunteer member¬ship. The women in it must have chauffeurs' licenses and drivers' permits, must provide their own cars at their own expense when they are needed, and must pur¬chase their own uniforms. When they operate cars other than their own, they must share the operating expense. Variety of Duties Their duties include the collec¬tion and distribution of Red Cross materials, routine transportation of chapter workers, transportation of Red Cross class instructors and equipment, transportation of work-ers during roll call, taking of con¬valescent hospital patients for out¬ings, transportation of public health nurses, taking of patients to hospi¬tals and clinics and to doctors' of¬fices, and maintaining an ambu¬lance service during disasters. To join the unit, the women must be able to stand the attached ex¬pense, must have a first aid and auto mechanic certificate, must have a health certificate and must be an auto driver of experience. No member is taught to drive and there is no compensation for the work. Seven Vacancies In Ogden, the corps is just being organized by Mrs. Bass. It is not expected the corps shall be called into service except for wartime emergency action. Maximum num¬ber for the local corps is 25, mean¬ing there are seven vacancies to be filled. The women are now enrolled in an auto mechanics course taught at Weber college shops by C. M. Decker. Purpose of the course is to make corps members self-sufficient in times of emergency. RED CROSS WILL BUY TEXTBOOKS Women who have textbooks, Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, prepared by the American Red Cross, may sell the books for 50 cents each at the Red Cross office in the city-county building, Mrs. L. W. Overstreet, chairman of the home nursing program, said today. Sixty-three women enrolled Fri¬day evening for the courses which will begin next week, Mrs. Overstreet reported. Because the weath¬er was not conducive to large at¬tendance, Mrs. Overstreet said she believed there are probably others who want to take the course, and they may register in the classes next week. Each class lasts two hours. Classes are held in room 201 Cen¬tral building at Weber college. The schedule: Monday, three-thirty p. m., Mrs. Minerva Hadley, R. N., instructor. There are 27 taking this class, all from Mound Fort high school. It is the only class in which enroll¬ment is closed. Tuesday, seven-thirty p. m., Mrs. Earl Rushmer, R. N., instructor, 15 enrolled. Wednesday, two p. m., Mrs. James M. DeVine, R. N., instructor, two enrolled. Friday, two p. m., Mrs. Jessie Cain, R. N., instructor; three en¬rolled. Mrs. Cain is the only Negro registered nurse in the city quali¬fied to teach the course for Negroes. Friday, seven-thirty p. m., Mrs. Leslie West, R. N., instructor; 16 enrolled. The quota for per class enroll¬ment is 20 students. Classes are open to anyone who cares to take the training. WELFARE MONEY NEED EXPLAINED DURING SESSION Army Units Hear Appeal For Liberal Fund Donations The need for liberal contributions to the Red Cross war relief fund and community chest was empha-sized at a luncheon meeting of members of the military division of the united campaign in the Ho¬tel Ben Lomond. Representatives of the military units in Weber county were ad¬dressed by E. G. Bennett, general campaign chairman, and George L. Ellerbeck, division chairman, who urged the importance of convert-ing prospective subscribers to the fund that this is the time to dem¬onstrate national and local unity by giving adequately. In addition the speakers said educational bul¬letins have been prepared for dis-tribution by this division. Thor¬ough organization also was urged in order that every person em¬ployed on military projects shall be reached and given an opportun¬ity to subscribe to the fund. The meeting of workers in the men's and women's divisions was marked by enthusiasm, Fred A. Kuhlmann, associate united cam¬paign chairman, declared. A ma¬jority of team members attended and expressed determination to their division chairmen, Carl C. Gaskill and Mrs. G. J. Carroll, to do a thorough job of contacting all persons whose names are on their lists. The first report luncheon of the campaign will be held Monday at noon in the hotel, when those at-tending will be guests of the hotel management, Mr. Kuhlmann said. The chairman said that in an¬swer to a question he wished to state, "that no funds contributed to the campaign have been or will be used to pay for luncheons or dinners for workers or officials of the united campaign. Such events are sponsored and paid for by busi¬ness firms."
