At the Friday meeting of the Red Cross
if was voted that all VINO IN any way
handle the eauze dressings shall in future
wear the apron and head dress adopted In
all chapters. The reason for this has al
ready been explained at the meeting and
through the papers and all agree that no
risk of unsanitary dressings should be
permitted Letters were read from the
New England Red Cross headquarters
complimenting the work of the Sears

are no longer accepted many are finding
the small patch work quilts an excellent
NAV of disnosibp of the odd bits of cloth
found in every household.
