Bring forth the knitting needles
which were temporarily put aside fol-
lowing the signing of the armistice.
Women have become expert in using
them when there were garments to be
made for our boys in the camps and
trenches. This time it is not a ques-
ton of supplying comforts, it is m
of relieving want and terrible suffer
ing. American women have shown
their patriotism by responding to the
country's call and became the army
behind the army" Now it is human
ity that calls. Fortunately there is
in stock a considerable quantity of
yarn originally intended for us in
knitting garments for the soldiers.
This yarn is to be made available as
quickly as possible for the making of
stockings, mufflers and sweaters for
children who are innocent sufferers of
war now ended, and shawIs for wom-
en- who have lost homes and loved
ones-everythting except the hope
which must be turned to courage in
order to set the world going again.
To what happier use could this yarn
be put than just this form of relief
now presented? The judgment has
been reached that the most effective
aid at present can be rendered through
the furnishing of the articles above
noted for the use of women and chill
dren in the afflicted countries. Now
we ask all chapters to advise the
Northern Division as to whether or
not they will assist in answering this
this request is very serious, it is not
the wish of the division to urge un-
duly those who feel that they have
done all the work they can possibly
do and are not in a position to con-
tinue. In other words, the work is
not obligatory, but it is hoped that
this call will meet with a generous
response. Upon receipt OF a reply
from the chapters, a definite allot-
ment will be sent Directions for all
knitted articles required are being
sent to the chapters, and may be OBJ
tanned by branches and auxiliaries
from them.
For the Junior work 1t Is suggested
that the Juniors be asked to make
scarfs and women's shawls for which
sweater yarn shall be used. Care
should be exercised, however, to see
that this work is given only to Juniors
who can knit evenly and who will
take pains to make durable garments.

pie in Siberia, he turned to the pres
ent day problems of Russia, giving a
most interesting talk on the situation
there. A number of times he urged
that the young women wake up to
the problems of today both national
and international and do everything
possible to advance the social better
ment of the world. There may from
this suggestion arise a discussion
curse on such problems. The bust
ness meeting was longer than usual
as one had not been held for some
time, but it was most enthusiastic.
Mrs. Vergote's offer to present the
club with the proceeds from the
operetta to be given in about a month
was discussed and unanimously &C,
cepted. The money will probably be
used to furnish and beautify the club
rooms in order that they may better
serve the needs of the young women
of the town. Two gifts, n of IS
in cash, and the other two dozen
spoons were acknowledged and the
secretary instructed to write letters
of thanks for them.
The matter of sending a delegate
to the North Central Field conference
to be acid az Cedar Rapids, March
$40, vas taken up. This conference
which is iCr all association members
is one of several to be held in place
of the national t%ri-ennial. The club
voted to pay at least half the expenses
of a delegate and a committee was APP
pointed to secure such a representa-
tive. The following young women
were accepted as club members: Nora
Hasle, Nadine McGill and Marie Han
son. The club certainly appreciates
the interest and support which Brook
ings people are giving it and is really
trying to live up to its purpose of
uniting the young women of the com
munity in Christian friendliness and
service.
The H. S. Club met Thursday after
Don in the assembly room with Ber-

she spent nine years as a missionary.
This led up to the presentation of
Y. w. C. A. work in South America
where the North Central Field is help

whom we are directly interested is

cal training work among the Argen.

which otherwise would lack proper
clothing, and each garment will &C
tually prevent suffering. The program
as proposed at present includes girls
and women's drawers and chemises
from bleached and ~unbleached muslin,
women's skirts, night gowns from
canton flannel, petticoats and under
skirts from light outing flannel, girls
and women's petticoats from dark
grey outing flannel. This gives a gen
eral idea of the kind of garments
which We are to be called upon to
make. Upon receipt of a reply from
the chapters definite allotments will
be sent and production orders W ill be
No charge will be made to the chap
tiers. The immediate duty of the Red
Cross is to supplement the tremend-
Gus work of relief which the govern
ment will be compelled to carry on.
1t rests largely with the chapter work
ers to let the rest of the world know
that the heart of America still throbs
for humanity. May we count on your
support?
1t is now safe to predict that the
Red Cross will DON be able to pre-
sent a most comprehensive program
in child welfare and general public
health in home service. Its aim will
be to cooperate whit all other organ
izations which have SO nobly striven
for these things in the past, and to
endeavor to weld together and central
ize all this work for the betterment
of humanity.
