PATRIOTIC WOMEN CALLED.
Chance for All to Help in Filling Red
 Cross Quota.


 The following appeal has been made othe women of JeYett City and vii cinity:
 The Atlantic division headquarters has asked the Jewett City Red Cross chapter to fill an exceedingly large quota by Sept. 1st. It consists of 450 garments. Can it be done? Ii rests with the women within the 1urisdic- tiDn of this chapter to decide.
 As the chapter will soon begin sur- gieal dressings, the ranks of the gar ment workers will be depleted and re- eruits are needed. The seleetmen have generously given the use of the town hall for the making of garments. If 250 women will pledge themselves each to make nine garments during July and August, this quota can be filled.
 Fhe weather may be warm, but the boys over there are fighting in all kinds of weather, and the war stricken people are suffering and need our aid Let us remember that the Jewett City Red Cross chapter so far has always gone over the top.
 The executive committee meets on Monday night to decide what shall be done with this quota. All women and women's organizations within the jur- isdiction of this chapter who wish to volunteer for this service, either in the town hall or in their own homes, may hand their names before Monday night to any of the following: Mrs. A. M Brown. Mrs. T. A. Rieux, Mrs George Gutknecht, Mrs. E. M Swift, Mrs Frank I Ray, Mrs. Bouchard, Mrs Redmond Walsh.
