... FORMED in June 1938, the Women's Voluntary Services are busier than ever. No demobili sation for them. While newspapers print daily accounts of strikes of troops in various parts of the world because of the slowness of demobilisation, the W.V.S. continue their multifarious jobs for twenty-two different Ministries.
