GIFT OF $3.50
TO RED CROSS
BY THE WITCHES
Normal Sorority Members
Financed Their Surgi-
cal Dressings Work

The witches Of the Moorhead Nor.
NAL school have done a wonderful
amount OF work for the Red Gross
since last fall and on Thursday
made a cash donation to MoOrheat
chapter Of S192.50, making the total
cash gift for the year $3.50. The
first payment was $3.50, the pro-
ceeds OF a silver musical held on
January II.
Not only have The witches been
generous with the cash donations
but they have worked early and late
for the Red Cross; and financed
their own surgical dressings, class
work, expending over $40 in the pur-
chase Of gauze.
The money was saved by the
young women who walked instead OF
paying car fare; eschewed candy
and did not patronize every enter
tainment. This has been their way
on doing their bit and they have set
a pace that other organizations may
ind difflcult to keep.
On Friday evening the mems sur
Fical dressings class met at the
rooms in the Comstock hotel that
have been assigned by the manage
ment for this work. AT the same
time a class Of women worked in the
rooms in the postofiice building
The use Of the additional rooms in
the Comstock will permit the chap
ter TO greatly increase the output Of
dressings.
Very little knitting is now done in
the rooms Of the chapter that are
practically given over to the distrt-
button OF yarn and the packing and
shipping Of finished articles.
