 The American Red Cross has en- tered into agreement with our gov ernment to furnish certain surgical dressings and garments and to fur nish them within a given date. The work of making these articles is di- vided among the chapters. In our chapter we have definite number of government surgical dressings to make which have to be completed each month for the U. s. medical corps. Owing to the spread of influ- enza in Rockville the Red Cross there has been obliged to turn the work room activities to providing for the necessities of their emergency hos pital, consequently the dressings which should be finished this month for government use are delayed This gives Stafford an opportunity to lend hand to our neighbOr, and by mak- ing extra effort enable Red Cross to fulfill her obligation. Therefore un- til further notice the surgical dress ing rooms of Red Cross will be open every week day from to 5, as well as Wednesday and Thursday even ings. This is an emergency call. Realizing that there are many whose hearts are eager to help, but whose duties do not permit them to leave home for long periods, an appeal is made to them for aid on our refugee and government garments. These things must be finished soon in order that the Red Cross keep its agree ment.
