THE RED CROSS CLUBMOBILES
Serving a mobile army has put the
American Red Cross canteen on wheels.
In dubmobileS, trainmobiles, and now in
fleetmiobiles. some three hundred Amer
ican girls are dishing out four to five
thousand doughnuts a day in Great Brit
ain. Australia, North Africa, Italy, the
Middle East and India.
In Great Britain alone, approximately
5.000.000 doughnuts are distributed each
month At one dock, arriving American
and 22,800 cups of coffee, in addition to
cigarettes, matches, chewing gum and
candy. •
With jugs of coffee, trays of dough
nuts. and baskets of supplies, Red Cross
gi/ls visit soldiers on trains enroute, or
thpse being hospitalzed back from the
front lines. In reconstructed trucks
they forge through jungle trails and des
ert. to bring refreshments and entertain
m^nt to men in isolated, outlying areas
of the South Pacific. Africa and India.
This war’s “Doughgirls” must, in addi
tion to dishing out doughnuts, keep up
a constant flow of Amercan slang, which
is music to the ears of the homesick
G. I.
They must always look their best, al
though they live, laundry and sleep in
ane half of the clubmobile, for they rep
resent “the girl friend back home” to
he soldier and he prefers her in skirts
and blouses rather than the more prac
ical coveralls.
On a space about the size of a desk top
Lhe girls mix batter by hand in 75 pound
’ots, brew drums of coffee, and deep fry
he doughnuts.
The doughgirls learn about mechanics
from flat tiijes and stubborn en^iines;
about electricity from blown fuses, and
ibout temperamental machines from
doughnut makers.
They send doughnuts over Germany
an early morning bombing missions, and
are on the field with steaming hot coffee
when the boys return,' often so tired and
dispirited they could' not meet their
“briefing” if it were not for the gracing
hot drink . *'*
Then there are special duties. At an
aerdrome in England where planes com£
directly from America, one unit served
1500 men who had not eaten since mid
night the previous day.
The clubmobile program is constantly
expanding. Additional units an' being
added in North Africa, which also is
serving Sicily and Italy.
