TOT THE WOMEN OF BELFAST.
Appeals are coming in of late from
headquarters telling US of the urgent
need of large quantities of hospital gar
ments and surgical dressings.
Perhaps you do not realize how small
an attendance we are having at the pres
ent time in our workroom, and that, in
consequence, our work is tagging.
! In order to respond to these appeals we
need the cooperation of every woman in
Belfast.
i Will you not come to the Red Cross
room and help us to do generous share
of the relief work?
/ LOUISE HAZELTINE.
j Chairman of the Belfast Red Cross.
