RED CROSS
SITUATION
PECULIAR

Al peculiar situation exists with rel
srence to the Hammond Red Cross
chapter. active workers today said
on the one hand the city has credit
for having Red Cross membership
considerably in excess q its quota,
on the other hand tho active workers
in number are far below the proper
tion that nine thousand members
should represes
The Red Cross work rooms viii ac-
com1odate thirty-fve workers. Yet
the average attendance is fifteen OF
less
The work Tor the patriotic women
is divided into three branches, viz.
Surgical dressing, knitting and sew
ing The biggest demand at present
=. for surgical dressings During the
month OF December the Chapter turn
ed out 4I2 dressings. During the
month Or January the chapter must
turn out 500 dressing rolls. Last night
only thirty had been completed It is
therefore very evident that every pa
triotic minded woman must lend a
helping hand.
