The Women‘s Voluntary Services Division was set up in the Deâ€" partment of National War Services 10 months ago and now reports the establishment of 20 W.V.S. Centres with 19 more in process of organiâ€" zation. The Centre works with existing organizations and serves as a registry and placement bureau in the community to avoid overâ€"lapping and duplication of effort. A W.V.S, Centre in every fairâ€"sized comâ€" munity is Mrs. West‘s aim for 1943. A large part of Canada‘s war effort depends for its success on the conscientious, selfless devotion to face in 1943, Mrs. West believes. To meet the growing demands of war and maintain community services, the volunteer will have to take on more work both inside and outside her home. 1943 offers a challenge to volunteer workers in the opinion of Mrs. W. E. West, Director of Women‘s Voluntary Services, who is picâ€" tured above at her desk discussing the problems of volunteer workers with her assistant, Miss Frieda Held.
