THROUGH AUGUST

The surgical dressings depart
ment of the Red Cross workshop of
the Rock Island chapter will be
closed until Sept. 1 unless emerg-
ency calls necessitate reopening.
This action is taken in accordance
with advice from division headquar-
ters. which recommends that all
surgical dressings shops in the CEN
trail division declare a vacation in
view of the fact that at present no
more quotas are to be assigned.
The letter which carries this in
formation to the local Office also
urges, however, that every worker
hold herself in readiness to respond
to any call which may be made; a
reversal Of orders may come at
any moment.
Every surgical dressings worker
is asked to turn her efforts towards
the making of hospital garments
and refugee clothing. Large quotas
are now coming in to the garment
department and calls for volun-
teers will soon be issued. If each
worker in surgical dressings will
pledge herself to complete one gar
ment the quota will be readily
cared for.
