Red Cross Notes

There will be no Red Cross sewing
this Tuesday at the aldermen's room,
City hall.
The necessity of people saving tin
to win the war is again emphasized
in literature which has been received
at Red Cross headquarters. Tin
cans are valueless as they contain
only per cent of tin. The things to
save are tin foil, coilapsible tubes
and pewter which contain the largest
per centage of tin. Tin is required in
the ships that carry the troops over
seas. in the trains which move our
troops, and in the tanks that clear
the way when the boys go over the
top Send the tin to the Red Cross
chapter. The smallest chapter should
collect at least ton Of tin.
The secretary of the local chapter
has received from Bertha S. Clason of
Camden n letter in which she express
es the thanks of the Camden Erper-
gency hospital to the ladies who SO
kindly lent their car to carry n nurse
to that city. The letter stated that
the nurse arrived there Just as they
were at the point Of despair. the
nurses there having been worn out by
the long days and nights of nursing.
