NON-PERISHABLE
FOODSTUFFS NEEDED

1.-THE great need in crop production
at this time, say those who are famil.
lar with the worlds food crisis, is in
on-perishable foodstuffs-crops tina,
enter into world trade and may be
shipped or stored without danger Of
damage. These include especially the
grains. Next to these come crops that
may be stored for winters use or may
be canned, preserved or dried. Among
these are potatoes and other root
crops, also peas, beans, corn and the
various fruits"

WHAT Is MY SHARE?

The Manchester Red Cross Chapter
has just received from headquarters a
circular, headed Immediate Needs OF
Allies;" asking that work rooms be
speeded up and giving the following
list of supplies urgently needed; be-
side the bandages and surgical dress
ings which must be kept up, to full
stock. The things needed are:
$4,000 bath robes or convalescent
gowns.
100000 pairs bed socks.
100000 handkerchiefs.
$4,000 hospital bed shirts.
100000 suits pajamas.
100000 shoulder wraps.
100000 pairs socks.
100000 pairs ward slippers.
On reading this list which calls for
nearly 100000 garments, which are
needed NOW, ones first thought is,
'How can this be done ?" 1t can only
be done if each one will consider the
question, What is my share 2" and
answer ii by service of some kind or
degree.
First Of all there is need for money
to purchase the necessary materials.
II you have it to give, whether little or
much, you can be assured that the
supply committee Of the Manchester
Red Cross will do its best to use 1t
economicaly--that no bills for sup
plies will be approved until they have
been passed upon by the president and
secretary, as check against careless
ness or error. Your gift will be con-
sidered as trust money and guarded
as such and your share is greatly
needed.
Next after money come gifts Of ser
vice. Some of our women are proving
themselves competent to plan, pre-
pare and supervise the work OF others.
To these everyone may give the loyal
support which will enable them to in
crease their service.
After materials have been provided
and prepared then comes the question
to the greater number Of women:
What is my share?
For convenience the workers in our
ehaptr have been divided into four
groups, which is unfortunate in some
ways as it tends to comparisons which
are not always just; for the groups
are unequal in numbers, in command
Of time and in other ways.
The only standard by which the
matter may be tested is the ability OF
the individual woman, not what some
one else can do, but what | can do
and all can do is my share. II each
woman will honestly apply this test to
herself criticism viii be sileneed.
Those who can do only little will be
encouraged to do that much and all
will work with increasing zeal.
