Seneca, Nov. l2.-Special: If
there are women in the country who
would like to do Red Cross work, and
who cannot spare the time to work
in the rooms, they could call at head
uaurIcrs any time they are in town
CON the days when the rooms are
OPEN, view the garments and take
sowing home with them. We are
sure there are many in the country
whose hearts are in this great cause,
but who cannot stay at headquarters
ana sew. For Il fact. few Of the Sen
cca women sew there; the cutting Is
done there and garments distributed,
with minute directions for making.
The days and hours for opening the
rooms are posted on the door. and if
II should happen that these dates
should conflict with the date OF Il
visit 10 town and the ladies should
wish to 90 to the rooms, Mrs. w. J.
lunncy or Mrs. Lille Tribhlc will
he Glad 10 go with them and give out
garments to make.
Thc ladies Of the town are meet
ing Tuesday afternoon to pack the
Christmas bags for the Oconcc boys
in France or in the navy. There are
about 20 in number.
