Red Cross Notes by Mrs. Carrie
Briggs Chappell:- The following
cable has been received from Major
Grayson M. P. Murphy, head of the
Red Cross Commission in France.
''The Red Cross has direct respon-
sbility for supplying us with surgi-
cal dressings, and nothing in the
whole situation here is equally i'm
portant. Red Cross standard dress
ings in millions must be sent over
with all possible speed. If this is
not done and done Immediately a
serious calamity and national dis
women who compose the Red Cross
Chapters should prepare with all
enthusiasm and speed possible the
dressings which are going to mean
life or death to our own boys. This
whole question deals with the most
vital thing that the women of Amer
lea can do for the soldiers in this
war.-Answers to questions about
work in Surgical Dressings.
Read the bulletin board.-2 You
must have a big aprons. If you
are making an apron to keep for this
work, make it according to directions
on bulletin board. Pictorial Review
pattern is correct. If you have a
big light colored apron, you may
wear its. Come if you have no
apron or no Golf. We will see to the
uniforms later. The main thing is
to come, and come quickly.-6. If you
have pledged an afternoon come that
afternoon and every other afternoon
you can. Come if you can only stay
a half hour. The societies from
the county will be in the first week
to work. If they can come the first
week the town people surely cans.
Every man can help the work by
being amiable when meals are late,
beds unmade, ETC., when his wife is
doing Red Cross work. Any man
who makes his wife feel that she
must stay at home to make things
comfortable for him is Slacker-9.
Pledge some work and do your very
best to do it. That's all we ask.
