RED CROSS WORK
IS PROGRESSING
Scarcity of Yarn May Retard
ACtiVitieS-WorkerS
Increase.

Red Cross activities in AIisha-
waka are being kept up with splen-
did zeal and cooperation, and as
time passes the number OF loyal
women engaged in the work in
creases. This is especially true Of
the sewing and knitting classes
which assemble at the city hall
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays
of each week in charge Of Mrs. +.
A. Doan. an enthusiastic worker.
ON an average % women attend
each of these afternoon sessions,
while six sewing machines are kept
constantly running during the en-
tire afternoon. According 10 Mrs.
Doan the work will be kept up in
definitely or until the Red Cross au-
thorities at Washington cry halt In
the course OF the next two weeks
or Whereabouts all the work on
hand will have been finished with
the exception of comfort bags. one
OF which will be given every man
who enlists from Mishawaka.
Yarn is Scarce.
The only thing that may retard
the work is the scarcity of yarn.
Those in charge of work are try
ing by every means possible TO get
supplies but without success so far.
There is none to be had in Chicago
which has necessitated inquiries be-
ing made elsewhere. A hundred
pounds ordered sometime ago has
not as yet come to hand but is ex-
pected within the next few days.
To date over 200 kits have been
finished by these city hall workers,
25 Of which were sent TO South Bend
TO members of the third Indiana
regiment. Those who enlisted and
left the city before the kits were
finished have had them sent TO
their training camps throughout the
country. One hundred and twenty
seven are now on hand and will be
more than sufficient TO furnish the
recruits who leave here Oct. 6.
Nearly every church in the city
is doing it's bit for the Red Cross,
some of them devoting a day each
week to the work.
