Private Employers Who Are Operating Operat-ing Large Fleet of Trucks' for Delivery De-livery Purpose Are Told to Remember Army Men. The chauffeur who used to consider Broadway and Forty-second street a hard place to cross went to war to discover dis-cover that the rockiest road to Dublin lay in France, after all. For automobile automo-bile driving became a supreme art over there, where there were no lights to illuminate the roads, and often no roads to illuminate. With shells bursting on all sides, anil bombs dropping from the Jerrys above, the truck, ambulance and lorry drivers driv-ers soon learned a thousand new tricks in the trade: how to keep a straight course without benefit of compass or light, how to climb out of mud hub-deep, hub-deep, how to run on three wheels if something happened to the fourth, in short, how to do the impossible, all to the glory of the allies and November Novem-ber 11th. These men are now coming back to the United States, master mechanics and drivers, trained in the hardest school to every emergency that an automobile au-tomobile could confront. Some of them are still jobless, and Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, and in charge of the government's re-eniployment campaign for ex-service men, offers them as the best possible material in the world for expert automobile auto-mobile driving. Private employers who are operating large fleets of trucks for delivery and transportation purposes, are especially especial-ly recommended to these expert drivers. driv-ers. The various governmental and welfare wel-fare agencies will be the means for bringing the men and the jobs together. |
