shifts, especially during flu
epidemics, that sort of thing.
Duty is usually one day per
week, but there are “captains”
_for the drivers and they work
on a six-week rotational basis.

Some of the drivers have
been at it literally for years,
and they. find themselves play-

‘ing a very important role in the
life of the people they serve.
They become trusted contfi-
dants and real friends, and can
add a lot to the days of women
who are neglecting themselves
or men who don’t know how to
cope alone.

They can share this intima-
cy with the authorities who
don’t have similar access, and

‘ thus procure attention for

something being ignored or
disguised,

Each lunch is delivered hot
for four dollars, and is some-
times eaten on delivery, often
divided between lunch and
dinner. There are three meals
each week, Monday,
Wednesday and Friday, and
should holidays occur,
arrangements are made to suit,

Margaret, the coordinator,
finds some staffing shortages

sometimes — so many women

have jobs iow, even the part-
time ones can cut down on her
available driver-power.

She hopes always that peo-
ple will think of the service
when they do have spare time,
it’s a very warm and people-
friendly thing to do.

Like the olden days.
