RED CROSS NOTES.
CRY Mrs. F. p. Bernard !,

(Ry Mrs. F. p. Bernard)
Until first further notice there will
be no Monday evening meetings Of the
knitting class. Nearly all knitters are
now able to work without instruction.
Should any one need help they will
please apply to any Of the following
named ladies', who have charge of the
various branches of the work: Mrs.
VIM. Forsberg, socks; Mrs. a. a. Eek
lund, scarfs; Mrs. j. r. Thomas, wrist
lets; Mrs. G. =. Spaulding, sleeveless
jackets.
Please call on or phone me either be-
fore nine a. M, or in the early even
ing. OF course, / will answer calls at
any time but it would be more conven-
lent for me if you would, when possi-
bic, call at the time stated.
am requested to state that all of
the comfort bags sent out recently con-
tanned bibles. Twelve Of the bibles
were furnished by the NJ. e. Ladies'
Aid Society.
The result Of the Red Cross sale at
The Bazaar netted the society $56 40.
Mr.. Steen has certainly been very gen
erous. Thanks are also due to the
ladies who so generously lent their aid
as clerks. They certainly did their
best.
The knitting bee at the home of Mrs.
Oh Taralseth was also a very sue
cessfM affair and very enjoyable one.
As result of the free will Offering
taken up after a most delicious lunch,
$3.50 was added to the Red Cross
fund. between seventy and eighty peo-
pie were served.
On October first we received our first
returns from our auxi1iaries. Middle
River on that day sending in twelve
hospital shirts, and five pairs of socks.
Calls are coming in right along for ma
terial to work with.
Several times people have asked me
for yarn to make up for some special
friend offering to buy the yarn. To all
such have said that / was not allow
ed to sell yarn. The yarn we get is ex-
press1y for Red Cross work. However,
it seems that some have not understood
and report has come to us. that finish
ed garments have been sent out to pri-
yate individuals. Such action is en-
Hrely contrary to the rules Of the so
ciety, and / am authorized to say, that
any and all garments thus disposed of
will have to be replaced, by the party
or parties having thus violated the
rules OF the Red Cross Society I think
ite1s safe to say there is not one OF us
but what has some one to whom we
should like to send a garment. What
if we should all take the liberty of
sending out garments.to our friends,
what would become of the Red Cross
supplies? We are all on level in this
work. There can be no favoritism
shown. There must be no liberties
taken, Share and share alike must be
our motto.
