A NEW YEARS RESOLVE TO
 FINISH PRODUCTION ORDERS

On account of the urgent call from National Headquarters that tho Refugee Garments should bc all ready for shipment in February and since an work on conyolcsccnt robes and paJamas may be laid aside until Che refugee work Is completed, would it not be possible for the Chapters Co concentrate an their energies toward finishing Chapter Production Orders recently sent out. and urge upon their workers Che ac- maI necessities of their ncighbors m thc devastated areas Of Europe.
 con account of most Of che gar nouts being very simple. and since some of che Chapter work rooms are closed. it would probably Doc odvis- able for Che Auxiliarics to allow thc work Co be done n Che homes rather than waiting for the epidemic to obatc.
 since Che knitting Is also discou- umcd except for thc completion Of yarn already distributed. che kuit- tcrs might be called upon to help with this work
