Three women in the cutting de-
partment yesterday cut out and made
ready $50 garments
Yesterday was a good day. Help
to make today n better one.
There is room for everyone who can
sew at the workroom.
Thanks to several men volunteers,
the old stained glass windows of the
workroom, which formerly was the
house of worship of the congregation
of First Christian church, are TO be
replaced with regulation window
glass. Thus better light can be OBJ
tanned and better working conditions
will prevail.
Only one kind of garment Is to be
made in day. For instance one day
all the worker will make pajamas and
the next day, perhaps, bed shirts or
whatever the work room committee
secs fit. 1t Is felt that much more
can be accomplished with this new
order of things.
