Surgical Dressings Committee.
The committee on the preparation
of surgical dressings for the Red
Cross is much pleased with the de-
sirable quarters put at their disposal
on the third floor of the city hall.
The American Red Cross associa-
ton has recently ruled that this part
of the military relief must be done
under supervision. For the last two
weeks twelve women have been work.
ing each afternoon to prepare them
selves to teach other women the cor
rect method Of making the various
articles.
1t is deemed advisable to have this
work done only in these rooms where
there are places and equipment for
twelve workers, and it is hoped that
there will be many women who will
be sufficiently interested to give one
or more afternoons each week to this
important relief activity.
Miss Margaret Morrow has kindly
consented to act as secretary of this
committee and may be reached owe
either telephone in the Office of the
superintendent Of waterworks at the
city hall.
Since only twelve persons may be
accommodated at one time it is de-
sirable to have some sort of a sched-
ule, and the following directions are
given in order that women interested
may know just when and how 10
work: Miss Morrow will know how
