Our gauze room was opened for
work om Wednesday and our surgi-
cal dressings workers are already at
work on their allotment for the
month. During the temporary alb
seuce of Mrs. Jenkins the work is
under the supervision of Mrs. George
-McFarlane.
These allotments come from Div
isicn headquarters and the output
of the Chapter will be directed by
them. Under the allotment plan OF
production it can readily lie seen
that Washington headquarters is un'
able to allot the same work to all
Divisions and it is not practical for
the Division office in turn to give
the same work to each Chapter in
the Division. Some Chapters may
lie asked to discontinue certain ac.
tivities entirely, temporarily, and
confire their efforts to certain other
items.
For instance, we may at any time
fail to receive our monthly allot.
ment of surgical dressings and when
such is the case the surgical dress
ings workers are urged to turn their
activities ito sewing or whatever the
special allotment may lie for the
time.
