Willamette Chapter Red Cross wishes
all members to feel that the knitting
of socks for the soldiers has not stop
ped, although for the present there will
be no more yarn given out by the chap
ter as its quota has already been ex-
haustcd The recent order means that
for a short time the need of wool for
the manufacture of clothing for the
soldiers is so great that auxiliaries will
be restricted in the amounts they re-
eeive, or be entirely cut off until the
government gets the necessary amount
Of wool. The knitting of socks comes
next to the needs of the government
Hence the chapter wishes all auxiliaries
to understand that the knitting of
socks mas been discontinued only tenn
porarily and that those who have yarn
