RED CROSS NOTES

Forty pounds Of khaki yarn was
received at Red Cross headquarters
Saturday Just what so many knit
ters have been pinning for these
many weeks. Khaki colored sweat
ers are so much prettier than the
gray ones, but of course no warmer.
The harrisburg ladies sent in box
of finished articles Saturday after
noon, which contained.
"a pillow slips.
IL abdominal bandages.
"a triangular bandages.
60 towels.
pairs of bootees.
8 baby blankets.
More work was also taken. The
harrisburg auxiliary is certainly a
live organization.
A Williams visitor was also here
Saturday bringing sweater, pair
OF wristlets, 3 pairs of socks, baby
blankets to Red Cross headquarters.
She also took home more work to do.
Williams recently made a contri-
button of 1918 to the local chapter
of the Red Cross. You have no idea
how these money contributions help
out. More money, more work, more
work done, more lives saved.
The ladies aid society of Highview
also turned in ST for the good of the
cause lately. The Circle at High
view is a real booster organization.
A package was received Saturday
at the Red Gross rooms containing
three little baby hoods for the Bel
gian babies. The only Identification
mark was card bearing the words
From farm woman in Fremont
township" This indicates that inter-
est is spreading.
Fine! The surgical dressings tab
les draw their share of workers these
days.
The knitters of the local chapter
were busy as bees last week and
turned in
13 sweaters.
16 pairs of wristlets.
81 pairs socks.
3 scarfs.
Almost enough to fill another box
for shipment. The work is beauti-
fully done, too. If every woman
would just try to do something.
