Greater production and efficiency in
the work Of the Red Lake County Red
Cross chapter will be the result of a
visit paid the Red Lake Falls chapter
Thursday by Mrs. Merriam Stephens,
field secretary for the northwestern
section Of Minnesota for the Northern
Division of the society. Mrs. Stephens
complemented the local chapter upon
the knitting done but said the quantity
OF sewing produced was not up to
standard for this section of the state.
Red Lake county has only produced
5.S cent worth of work per month
per capita whereas the average for the
state is 17.5 cents. The executive
board met with Mrs. Stephens Thurs
day and made several changes in the
management of the chapter.
