CLOSE SURGICAL
DRESSING ROOMS

The surgical dressings depart
ment at the local Red Cross work
shop will be closed tomorrow and
until further notice, due to the fact
that the months quota of surgical
dressings, one thousand complete
trench packets, has been complet-
ed. Other departments, however,
will be open.
The chapter is urging therefore
that Red Cross workers put their
energies into the making of hos
pital garments. Quotas in that de-
partment are coming in thick and
fast; cutting of articles is now go
ing on so that there promises to
be plenty of work for everyone.
Bed shirts will be the first arti-
cles to be distributed; GONZALES
cent robes and other articles will
follow as soon as the cutting and
assembling has been accomplished.
The call for so helmet knitters,
issued last week was met in less
than a day, so that many eager
volunteers were turned away. Ths
prompt response of local women to
emergency requests is most graft
flying.
