CENTER-The attendance at the class
for Red Cross surgical dressings is fall-
ing off sadly. Last Wednesday there
were but II there, while when the mis-
sionary study class first took up the
work there were sometimes % or 20 In
attendance. Out OF these II three were
inspecting, there being some back work
to inspect. two were cutting, and this
left only six to make dressings. But
these six did remarkably We'll, making
1877 dressings. The lack OF interest N
this work cannot be from lack of pa
triotism 1t must be because the womef
of this community fail to realize thu
great need for surgical dressings. Hes
in this peaceful countryside, the mos
of us with our husbands and sons BE-
side US. ii is so hard to grasp the whols
terrible meaning Of this great ~
across the seas. But now with -
falling by the thousands, s614E nd
woman's husband, son or br6t eeaa1
lie suffering just so much rncre ~
want of these very dressings Sw6fch We
here in our quiet homes are 3afnng no
provide. If each of us could feel and
know that this was so. would we allow
our own interests. or even our own
work that seems so important to U.S.
stand in the way OF Vurssivins one day
or at least one afternoon a week to help
provide these necessary comforts fo1
our poor wounded soIdiers2 The wo-
men OF America are responding nobly
to the crying need. Shall our communf-
ty fail in doing its share? THE next
meeting will be on Wednesday. April ~
1t is hoped that every Woman will be
there who possibly can. lf-you can moi

Your help will be appreciated.
