SOCIETY NOTES

The Ottawa sugical dressings de
partment las won a place second to
no other surgical dressing class in the
whole central division of the Red (
Cross. and the officers here are hoping
that the large amount and excellent |
quality OF the work win not drop of T
during the house cleaning time. For +
this reason every women who is will /
ing 10 make surgical dressings has !
been urged to give all the time she
can to this movement during the next
few weeks. The spring of the year is
always q busy time for most house
keepers, and fearing the rush which
will arrive in most Ottawa homes may
effect in some way the work of the
surgical dressing department. the
officers here have commenced urging
the women to give all the time pos.
sible to this work during the next
few weeks.
/ Any one who has never made the
/ dressings will be welcomed TO the
classes. and any one who can come
out for an afternoon or for several
afternoons, is urged To do so. The
work is very easy and can soon be
learned and the last calls received
Tor surgical dressings says there is
a greater need for dressings every
day in the base hospitals in France.
