 Mrs. J. A. Kinnard of Brickeys was a pleasant visitor to our work rooms last Friday.
 For some time l have been asked by our ladies who knit as to whether
  the spring and summer months. I had not been in a position to give them correct answer until today, when l am in receipt of the following communication from the acting man. ager of the Southwestern division, stating that any chapter member who could spend day at the bureau of supplies, and see the tremendous shipments of knit articles being sent to the cantonments would not won- der whether chapters were still to continue knitting As there are not a sufficient number of knit garments on hand at the present time to meet the demands, knit garments will be required in this country until hot weather comes. And we shall need them Cor the use Of men abroad as long as the War continues We will need socks especially. for they wear out more quickly than any other article, and are tremendously i'm portant in keeping the men in con dition. Do not let our men be in need of knit articles. While you are wondering whether you still must knit. don't stop until the war is over. You will probably be asked to knit even after that.
 We are in need of comfort kits in considerable quantities, wristlets, muf flers. sweaters and helmets are need ed, but socks more than anything else. Of refugee garments everything is needed, particularly the underwear
 Word has been received from France that summer weight garments for hospital use will not be needed. Later we may need small quantity for use in our hospitals in this coun- try. It is difficult in this country to understand the weather conditions which prevail in northern France. Returning travellers tell of the pene- trating chill in the air which IS much more trying than the cold m at-s IF
