Scooter operators must pass an examination, ar given a license. Red-haired Pat M. Gildersleeve, one of the first scooter operators licensed, makes a colorful picture as she whizzes around the Depot in her star-spangled blouse with cap to match, delivering messages for the Adjutant General’s office.”
