Survey is Being Made and Nc Yarn Is
to be Given Out
By Spsctql Correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 27:-During
this week the Fifth Ward a n OF
the Richmond County Chapter of the
American Red Cross has received
from the chapter a copy of q letter
from the Atlantic Division marked
"a. ID. No. 244," relating to the wool
supply and knitting. 1t states that
national headquarters is now engaged
in a careful survey OF the available
supply of yarn suitable for hand
knitting; hat this surve will take
several weeks during which time no
yarn will be released from the divi-
sion warehouse; that the scarcity of
wool makes II necessary to discon-
.tinue making wristlets and mufflers
and the need for socks and sweaters
makes 1t imperative that they should
concentrate on these most essential
articles; that helmets will be wanted
in small quantities: hat chapters
must not give knitted articles to
drafted men, but must forward all
knitted articles to the Atlantic divi-
sion warehouse; and that this state
ment covering production and distri-
button is to be considered as an Or
der. The foregoing order makes 1t
impossible for the branch to supply
knitted goods of any kind to those
going into service OF the U. s. A.
