Volunteers Needed For
 Red Cross Work Here

There is work to be done, and it is distressing that more people are not actively interested.
 It is true that later when the tables are filled with workers, it may be necessary for volunteers to give their preference of the days they would like to work, so that they may be assured of not being overcrowded, but I wish to assure everyone that no matter how many workers come, they will not be turned away. We shall find some way of handling them.
 In these days it would seem that every women with leisure time would feel the urge to do something for our National De- fenSe. am sure they will when they know how and where to do it. Working for the Red Cross is one way.
