social half hour at the close, the la
dies will be working for our boys
"over there" making surgical dress
ings. Twenty-Five women can ac-
complish results when they arc as
intensely interested as these.
The Seneca Red Cross Chapter had
class in surgical dressings from the
2lst to 2Gth Of January, with Mrs
+. II. Falkinbcrg, from Atlanta. as
Instructor. Eighteen were enrolled
in the class, and despite the awful
weather Of snow, Slect, rain and bit
ter cold, the attendance was almost
perfect. Several Of the ladies living
long distance from the work room,
the class took the standard and spc-
cial drcssinGs---a two weeks course
in one. This ncceSSitated from 6 to
I hours in the work room each day
Twelve members OF the class stood
the examination on the last day. and
they arc qualified to instruct others
in this most urgent Red Cross work
&cSinning next week the work room
will be open only in the afternoons
Tuesday. Wednesday and Friday
from $50 until $50 o'clock. Mrs
j. S. Corpening is supervisor sof sur
Sical dressings, with a corps OF capa-
bic assistants. Volunteer workers
arc needed. and NEEDED badly. Not
only the ladies of the town. but all
those from the vicinity, are invited
to visit the work room. A cordial
welcome awaits YOU and YOU will be
promptly assigned to\a work table
and instructed in the work to be
done.
This chapter last week shipped to
the Red Cross warehouse in Atlanta
three boxes, which contained 225
hospital garments. 81 knitted gar
ments and Il large number OF surgical
dressings.
We would call attention again to
the knitters that all remnants Of
WOOL should be returned at once
even though the remnant Is small, for
there arc a number OF knitted gar
ments partly made, and there will
not be another order for wool this
season. Another request for the
knitters Is to have name on package
when given to another marty to de-
liver, or when left at store This
Is VERY important. as every article
is charged, and it is the purpose of
the chapter to give each person
credit for the work done, as we'll as
keep correct record.
Miss Norma Gignilliat left Friday
morning for Monticello, Fla. where
she will probably spend a month or
longer with friends. Miss Gignilliat
will visit in Sumter and other points
in this State before returning home.
