RED CROSS NOTES. 1~
The heavy white yarn which is being
distributed is not, of course, as pleas
ant to work with rs some other yarns,
but it makes very good, servicable
socks for trench fighting. Will the
knitters please rally round and help
knit up this yarn which is passed upon
by the bureau of standard authorizing
the materials which are issued to chap
tiers. The knitters in the past have
been most responsive and we want to
dispose of this heavy white wool for
socks within the next few weeks.
One lady in the country 10 setting .
hen for the Red Cross Can't we have
some more Red Cross hens?
We thank Mrs. Tom Davis for the
SIG from the social at her home; also
Mrs. Isas :son for $31.O6 This money
is being used for the infants clothing.
Mrs. Elwood and Mrs. j. J. Williams
have charge of the collecting and ship
ping of used clothing for the use of the
Belgians and French. The need of this
clothing is almost beyond belief. For
more than 81 years these people have
had absolutely no new clothing or
shoes. Hospitals are without sheets.
Beds consist of old ticks filled with
leaves or rags. Shoes and clothing are
wanted either new or used if clean and
strong and in good condition. We are
not asked to take the coats off our
backs for their needy ones, though that
request may come before the war is
over. But we are asked to share with
them the clothing we possess. Let
each Red Cross member phone to the
above ladies and they will tell you
what they can accept. The mayor has
this work.
