RED CROSS CALLS
FOR WORKERS


While there is tendency on the
part Of Red Cross workers to relax
in their effort during the summer
months, there is urgent need Of the
work being kept up at full speed. The
need for socks especially is SO urgent
that the government has allotted the
work to be done instead Of issuing a
call. Moorhead chapters allotment
for the months of June, July and
August is 1000 pairs of socks and
this order must be filled.
More workers are needed in the
surgical dressings department to fill
the places of those who have left the
city, The cutting classes meet every
Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday even
ing and Thursday afternoon at the
Comsteek hotel. ........ a...
Beginning July s, Miss Wagner will
conduct a class in instruction in the
making Of surgical dressings. It is
hoped that all the branches through
out the country will take advantage
of this opportunity and send some
one in to take the york. The show
ing made by the Moorhead chapter,
with the assistance of Glyndon, is an
evidence of what can be done with all
branches doing what they can.
The surgical dressings for the
county have heretofore been made
and financed by the Moorhead chap
ter, but the quota for July and Aug
ust is so heavy there must be addi-
tional help, if it is is to be met,
