I'VE particularly desire to secure

In general we feel that the

Red Cross VIII Darn
Socks for Soldiers

Soldiers who wear small holes in
their knitted socks will be asked to
send them back to the Red Cross for
repairs. The Red Cross has heard
that soldiers have been ordered to
throw away socks as soon as a hole
appears.
A "grandmother's corner of the
Red Cross to handle sock repairs Is
proposed in a statement issued yester-
day. More than so per cent of the
wool used In knitting the socks could
be conserved under the repair plan,
it is said.
1t is also suggested that a needle
and q small amount of wool be en-
closed with the socks In order that the
soldier may take a stitch in time"
