Summary	The war emergency is making unprecedented demands upon the medical, nursing, medical social service and other personnel of hospitals, clinics, nursing and health services and social agencies. These health workers are being called upon in ever-increasing numbers to meet the expanding needs of the Army and Navy. They are being called too by industry -- to guard the health and safety of the millions of workers now turning out tanks, planes, guns and equipment. The shifting of large populations into new industrial areas and military encampments has created health hazards and problems which demand expert workers in public health and medical care. Now that war has come, the number of available trained workers in medicine, public health and related activities is being still further depleted... Volunteer service in Health, Medical Care and Nursing is an important phase of the civilian defense of our country. In wartimes volunteers who have learned to assist in the care of the sick and injured are of inestimable service to every community... Following are health, medical care and nursing services which require varying degrees of training: Admitting clerks in hospitals and institutions; automobile drivers; blood donors; child-care assistants; entertainment of children; filing clerks; first-aid teachers; health department assistants; home-nursing teachers; hospital and clinic assistants; instructors in various handcrafts; laboratory assistants; library assistants; medical social work assistants; messengers; nurses' aides; nutritionist assistants; occupational therapy assistants; physiotherapy assistants; readers -- for patients; receptionists; sanitation workers; secretaries; typists.--p. 1.
