''The months that are identified
with the term vacation time are at
hand. Some fortunate persons will be
able to have their vacations as usual
this year. A great number will not.
The grim business of war recognizes
no dog days. Thousands and tens of
thousands who otherwise would be en-
loving restful outings are held to Sc
rious work in the interest of the CIV
iIized world.
At this time above all others, no
wasteful vacation is justified for any
one.
Remember, you who are FORUM
ate enough to get away from daily
routine, that your country and hui
mainly still have claim on your ser
vices. Don't give up the RED CROSS

tions will be sent out by the Director
of Woman's Work, with the allot-
ment for each branch and circle, as
soon as the allotment is received for
hospital garments, wooden garments
