For those patriotic women who would
like to do their bit, there is the Red
Cross, ever reckoning for more help.
And this is especially true of the sur
gical department with headquarters al
the postoffice. There is need of moro
workers for the making of surgical
dressings, Those who attended the
classes last spring and are familiar with
the work are especially invited to
come and assist and to also help in
the work of instruction. The surgical
workers meet at l:30 O'Clock on the
afternoons Of Monday, Tuesday, Thurs
day and Friday, and the afternoon
work is over at 4:30. Those coming
are asked to bring their coverall ap-
rons, head dress and scissors.
Red Cross headquarters in the U. s.
National bank building received today
the following shipment: $50 yards Of
unbleached muslin 400 yards white
outing; 4S2 yards gray flannel; 491
yards seersucker. This material is now
ready to be checked out to the auxil-
iaries and from now on the probable
tiles are that materials will be on
hand sufficient to keep all auxiliaries
busy.
There is plenty of patriotism left
among the LOG auxiliaries even if oe-
casionally there is heard a wall from
some one who does not understand the
seriousness of the present situation. The
auxiliaries are responding molly to the
call of Willamette Chapter for more
funds. Here are soixe of the latest do
