Dear Friends:
My mother informs me of your kind
ness-a comfort kit-can't express my
apprecia tion something I need and
use every day-mighty good folks in
my old home town. Was without one
for several weeks and now appreciate
it more than if I had had it all the
while
Let me also ask that you express
through the proper channels my sincere
thanks for the Holy Bible donated by
the NJ E. Ladies' Aid Society. While
Itllave not suffered any physical hard
ships to complain of, there are mental
ones and comfort is found in this little
Book, not in the size, color or form, but
in the good news therein contained. =
God bless the Red Cross and it's
work. *

teer with the regulars, sailing at a

dangers Of our enemy.

everlasting. Ingolf Grindeland.

The testaments have arrived and are
available to those who wish them for
comfort kits. '
The call for knitted articles con-
tinues to be persistent and letters re-
ceived at the local Red Cross head
quarters are SO appealing that we are
most anxious to do our part get our
allotment finished as early as we possi-
bly, can. These garments are to be used
in northern France, region of con-
.tinued cold and drizzling rains in
winter and hand knitted garments have
been proven to be the best available
protection against these conditions. II
you are not already doing it, will you
not begin at once on this, your easy
part Of the great struggle.
The sewed garments are also much
in demand, so let us not neglect that
part Of our work.
