EAST CALAIS

Wallace Guernsey was home over tn,
week end from his work in North Mont
pelier.
The Calais and North MONTPELIER
branch of the American Red Cross now
has lis members and is doing good
amount of work. The past week 1;
pajama suits, 20 housewives and IA
handkerchiefs were shipped to Fort
Ethan Allen and there is more to be
sent this week. A box was also sent to
Boston to be sent to base hospital. IL
contained IL hot water bottle covers, AZ
pairs OF "mules" tsocksl, napkins, tray
covers, towels, strings, fracture pillows,
handkerchief substitutes, bandsges and
other articles. Each little village in
town, also in North Montpelier, is busy
preparing articles. The Red Cross room
in East Calais is open every Thursday.
Next Thursday Nurse brennan will give
instructions in surgical dressing. It Is
hoped there viii be a large attendance,
as surgical dressings are needed in I'M
limited quantities. Calais should do her
part in making these surgical dressings,
as we are fortunate in having q good
teacher. II is necessary that all these
articles be up to the required standard.
Much interest in Red Cross work is
shown in Calais and vicinity and it is
hoped that its membership will greatly
increase in the next few weeks. If you
cannot sew, you can at least "do your
bit" by giving us your membership. All
ladies, whether Red Cross members or
not, are invited TO attend the sewing
circles and thereby do their bit"
