A large number of enthusiastic
Red cross workers gathered at the
rooms Yesterday to hear Miss Mary
Frances Patterson. Of the University
.of California. her subject 'being the
Red cross work in the Universtty Tie
meeting proved mutually interesting,
as the story Of the enthusiastic work

tion 70 the Hammond workers, while
Miss Patterson expressed much ap-
probation OF the fine body q women,
with their eager responsive faces. to
whom she spoke
Miss Patterson brought out very
clearly the crying need for supplies
particularly surgical dressings and an
aesthetic. in the field hospitals on the
Western front. She told Of the terri
.lle operations performed without an
aesthetics because mono We're TO be
had, and OF wounds dressed with pa
per. even newspaper. for lack Of prop
er supplies. The fear that such treat
mcnt might be the fate of our own
boys is spurring more Hammond people
TO give more time to the work Of
preparing dressings at the local work
room.
