Accomplished And Effort To Do

Possibly some were overlooked in
the Christmas drive for Red Cross
memberships. Such persons may
leave their dollar at the Kimberly
bank and the committee will be glad
to give them a receipt and a window
flag.
The attendance at the sewing room
has been very gratifying and much
work has been done. However, we
are issuing a call for workers.
Our recent drive resulted in 5000
members for Twin Falls county. Our
work will be apportioned to 5000
members. Are you doing your part?
We need you. every woman in the
Kimberly district
The sewing room is opened on
Thursdays and Fridays, afternoons,
and work will be prepared for all who
come We also need sewing machines.
Can you spare yours for use in the
sewing room on those days? Mrs.
Denton will be glad to make room
for them.
A new department of work has re-
Gently been introduced into our work.
The national Red Cross committee has
planned layettes for the refugee babes
of France. Our northwestern division
has been asked for 1000 of these.
Realizing that in many homes are
pieces of muslins, daisy cloth, outing
flannel. white flannel. etc, that can
be utilized for baby garments, the
women have been asked to bring such
pieces to the sewing room. These will
be cut according to the official pat
terms and handed out again to be
made up in the homes. 1t has been
requested that this sewing be not
done in the sewing room. Many at
home. can give time to this who would
find it inconvenient or impossible to
get down to the Red Cross room on
sewing days.
Only white, light. blue and pink can
be used. Have you piece of white,
all wool blanketing 2SxS2 inches
square? These are needed for swad
ding blankets. Other articles such
as outing flannel or daisy cloth
dresses, jackets, capes with hood,
flannel shirts. binders, knitted or
crochetted hoods or Jackets and a bag
of sundries containing safety pins
6 sizes), soap wash cloths, talcum
powder. needless thread. thimble or
roll of old linen pieces are all in
cluded in these layettes. Can you help
to furnish these? Only good. strong
material can be made use Of
We were disappointed in not get
ting our surgical dressings class
started last week. The roads have
been so heavy that it was impossible !
to have our instructor from Twin !
Falls make the trip. However, we
hope to organize soon and want to
urge every woman who can spare one
evening a week to join this class
When General Murphy cabled from
ENra CT vol
dressing could be furnished, the an
swer was:
Three million pounds per month !
And the reply came back:
Not enoughi
These dressings are used in count |
less numbers and we must respond to
the call, to fill our classes and turn |
out Just as much as possible.
We understand that classes have !
been organized for the men, How
about it? Will the men of Kimberly
take up this work and add their bit
in this way? Inquire about it and
find out what is required. The Kim
berly auxiliary would certainly be
proud of such a class.
The work must be done in a room
which is used for nothing else, which
is free from dust, and where the

all aprons and caps. The school
board has kindly given us the use of
one room in the primary school build

Twin Falls.
