Red Cross Has
Call for Quota

The Condor Red Cross will be
asked by headquarters to produce
definite quantities of various
articles such as sweaters, socks,
dresses for children and other
needed articles. The. Condor al.
lotment will be changed from
time to time upon further in
structions from National Head
quarters and all local Red Cross
workers are urged to confine
their work to these definite allot-
ments and to secure all materials
through the Red Cross division
supply warehouse. ALI are par
ticularly requested not to pur-
chase through other sources any
Of the materials the Red Cross
carries in stock even though it
may be possible to get quicker
delivery by 30 doing. The reason
for this is that the government
has allowed the Red Cross to
participate in purchasing these
materials at the same prices paid
by the government. This district
will furnish 100 sweaters, 705
pairs OF socks and over 400
dresses for six year old children
between July 20 and September
l but as there are thirty-eight
distributing points in the district
the work for each will not be
heavy.
