The woman motorcar driver has made her appearance in the zone of the
army. A few of them are driving big motor trucks for the Y.M.C.A. and
are making good at the job.
During a recent heavy snowstorm, two trucks driven by young women were
sliding along a winding road carrying supplies to a hut from a depot
when they came upon a big French lorry stalled in a ditch. The French
soldier in charge was tinkering with the engine, having stalled it while
trying to pull into the road again. He wasn't having much success.
Both the women, garbed in short skirts, high and heavy leather boots,
and woolen caps that pulled down well over their ears, climbed down from
their seats and between them first managed to get the engine in the
stalled lorry started, and then one of them took her place behind the
wheel and by skilful manoeuvring brought all four wheels to the road.
The Frenchman stood to one side during the whole of the operation and
watched the women with astonishment.
