The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-02-07


A class in first aid under the di-
rection and instruction of DR.. c. r.
Scott will meet at the Boyd hospital
Friday, February 8, at 1880. Glasses
in Elementary hygiene, home care of
the sick and Dietetics are being form
ed They will begin work in a short
time and il is strongly urged that all
wishing to enroll in any OF the class
es will do so at once DR. Emma
Grassland will take charge of the
courses in surgical dressings, Diet
cites and home care of the sick.
We wish to say to the women of
Twin Falls that we are in need of
more workers in the surgical dress
ing department There is an album
dance OF work and we appeal most
earnestly to you for help. Every
woman in Twin Falls can give an
hour or two of an afternoon or even
ing at least once week to this work
The headquarters OF the surgical
dressing unit is at the Elks hall. over
the Idaho theatre The room is open
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and on
Friday evenings from 1880 until 10
o'clock, and Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday afternoons from
2 o'clock until 5 p. m. There are no
invitations, this is a patriotic work
that you are called upon to perform.
All are welcome and if three groups
of fifteen each would work every day
the Twin Falls branch, instead of
finding its work difficult would be
ahead. Will you be one to come and
make an effort to bring someone
with you? If the life of one Ameri-
can soldier. who is fighting for the
liberties of the peoples of the world,
is sacrificed in foreign lands for the
needs of proper surgical dressings
when wounded. il is a reproach and a
disgrace to the womanhoOd of Ameri-
ca and an unnecessary one. The mil
lions of American women, if they will
can make all the surgical dressings
required By the Red Cross to take
care of the Americans in the fighting
line, and millions of American wom-
en- throughout this land are system
atically giving their time for this ser
vice Surely, the women of this COM
munity knowing the need for this
work can arrange an afternoon or
evening, dedicating their time to this
work and allow nothing other
illness or absence from town -
terfere with this important engage
ment. Come up the stairs, open
door and walk in. Some one will be
in the room to aid those unfamiliar
with the work The dressings are
simple and easily made. 1t is nee
essary to bring a large clean apron
and head covering, the style and col
er does not matter.
Arthur Guy Empey says that one
OF the biggest facts is in winning the
war. 1.-The girl behind the man be-
hind the gun" Are you willing to
do your part?
