an appeal for more women to
sew and knit so that the chap
ter's quota may be filled.
It was pointed out that the

being made. The knitting COM

marked at the neck with these
labels.
All garments must be returned
to the supply room by May Is
completed. Returned garments
should be accompanied with the
name of the maker plainly writ
ten on paper and pinned to the
neck.
The quota which must be met
by May IS includes 60 girls
wooden dresses, 40 hospital pa
amas, eight mems sweaters, 16
Women'S sweaters and 80 chill
dren'S sweaters.
Anyone. who once knitted, but
is not sure she now remembers
how, may receive instructions at
the city hall every Wednesday
and Saturday from 2 to 6 pm.
There are two instructors who
are ready to help all who are
interested.
The committee expresses it's
appreciation to the Girl Scouts
for their work in collecting but
tons, to the Junior American
Legion Auxiliary members for
sorting them, and to the persons
who gave them. The group is
also grateful for the donations
from merchants and the many
hours of work by the cutting
committee.
It was stated that anyone who
will give her time to help with
the work will find that her eff
fort is deeply appreciated, and
there is a very real need for
tn garments among the home
less, unfortunate people, who
have lost everything in the war
