Letter To All Chapter Chairmen.
In compliance with recent rulings
from National Headquarters, is has
become necessary to make some rad
zeal changes with reference to Chap
ters ordering supplies from Division
Warehouse.
ALI untitled orders on file at
the Bureau of Supplies, for material
other than those required for the
July allotment, are cancelled.
2-This does not apply to untitled
orders for wool to be used in knitting
sweaters, helmets, mufflers, socks or
Wrstlets.
3-This does not apply to untitled
orders for needles, Red Cross but
tons, sewing thread, books or litera-
ture of any kind.
4-In the future, acquisitions on
the Division Warehouse will be hon
ored for the amount of material need
ed to complete the allotment that has
been given the Chapter sending the
requisition. If additional material is
ordered the Director of the Bureau
of Supplies will change the requisi-
ton and send only the amount of
material needed, according to the es-
innate of material on hand. If less
material is ordered than the amount
estimated as necessary by this office
to fill the allotment, the requisition
will be filled for the actual amount
ordered, and not for the amount of
of our estimate. In case of this kind
we will understand that the Chapter
& has raw material on hand which they
can apply towards the making of the
allotment
To conserve material, and place
our approval on any rulings made,
as proof of our loyalty to our Gov
eminent and to the American Red
Cross; also to lend our undivided
support to our leaders. You are re-
quested to refrain from purchasing
material from any source other than
the Divisional Headquarters.
The American Red Cross must be
protected from INSCRIPTIONS prof.
teers. Our Government recognizes
this fact and places the American
Red Cross in the same category as
themselves, making US a party to and
beneficiary of the protection they
have surrounded themselves with
We must stand by them.
