The following is an extract from
the appeal sent out by the American
Red Cross:
1T is useless to send a garment
which is not made of the strongest
and most durable materials, as the
clothes are subjected to the hard
est kind of use. But this does not
mean that all garments must be in
perfect repair. There are upwards
of hundred thousand women in
Belgium and Northern France who
will do anything for little work,
and who were modified and train
ed into a marvelously efficient or
ganization for the making of new
clothing-while there were still raw
materials-or the repairing, ripping
up and remaking of old clothing"
These women are happiest when
at work, having less time to dwell
upon their misery, and they look
forward with dread to the day when
their material is exhausted, they
must lay down their work and await
their turn to receive the next sup
plies"
We feel sure that this appeal will
meet with ready response from the
people of our district, who have al
ways lead in all great movements
for a worthy cause.
