Knitters Asked
To Work During
The Vacation

Although Red Cross workers
throughout the Northern Division
have been asked to take a vacation
during the two months July and
August, s o far as knitting and sewing
are concerned, Mrs. Mabel A. Hall,
director of production requests knit
tiers to continue their work to some
extent where ever convenient.
Mrs. Hall suggests that the women
in charge of knitting in the separate
Organizations made a canvass of their
workers for the purpose of securing
pledges during the vacation months.
If the proper enthusiasm is put into
these appeals for individual pledges,
itSis quite likely that a quantity of
work can be accomplished in the ag-
gregate.
II everyone of the 262 chapters in
this Division ships only 100 knitted
articles to headquarters. the total will
amount to $4,000. 1t would Their be
possible for these garments to be
destitute people before cold weather
arrives.
The bureau of chapter production
is not asking for a report of knitting
pledges. 1t is only necessary to ship
the finished garments to the Division
September 1. Orders for yarn for this
