Volunteer Today

It is to be understood that volunteer workers
in Red Cross production rooms have not fallen
down on their job In fact, it is to be emphasiz-
ed that they have done good job. But be-
cause the workers at all rooms have been too
few production from the Wilmington area has
not been as great as expected. Quotas have
not been filled
An example: Wilmington is expected to de-
liver 1852 900 four-by-four surgical dressings in
June, July and August. Yet 1440O eight-by
eight dressings which were to have been made
in May have not been touched. This indicates
how far the work is behind 1t also shows how
hopeless it will be to catch up unless there is
a great increase in workers. Wilmington S
production cannot rise to the levels expected
by the Red Cross divisional office and needed
by the armed forces with the present working
force.
Because of the emergency and the great
need for dressings the wofh yooms will con-
tinue in operation throughout the summer No
one Of course, enjoys working in hot weather,
but in appealing for volunteers it is to be said
that neither heat nor cold fair weather or
foul, interrupts the service of our forces
at the battlefrontsof this war, that men are
being wounded at all hours Of the day and
night and that if dressings are lacking many
lives will be lost needlessly
Volunteers are urged to report at the work
room nearest their home They are located
In the Sprunt building, Front and Walnut.
Church Of the Covenant, St. James Church,
old Sunset Park school, Hewes and Vance
buildings in Maffitt Village, Community build
ing in Lake Forest, Chadbourn Memorial build
ing, Winter Park, u S. o. centers at Harbor
Island and Carolina Beach and Mrs. John
Callucci's home on Harbor Island All women
may obtain additional information by phoning
either the Sprunt building work room or Red
Cross headquarters in the Customhouse The
numbers are 2-2231 and 2-26S3.
For women who cannot get to the work
rooms but could do something, it is announced
that the Red Cross has large quantities Of wool
On hand for knitting into sweaters and scarfs
and socks. This branch of Red Cross volunteer
work which was very popular for a time is
said to have dropped off alarmingly with the
approach of summer. It is to be remembered
ladies, that up where our fliers spend SO much
Of their time the temperature is below freezing
and warm clothing is essential to successful
air combat. Why not get hank of worsted
today, or a dozen hanks, and get back on
the job?

however much they may bask in the favor
of the administration, wars are won, not by
draft deferments but by fighters at the battle
front. Furthermore St. Louis, like many
another city, could get along well enough
with its TRANSFORMATION forces recruited from
older men and women.
The time has come to end strikes IN the
United States for the duration. The st. Louis
draft boards have a fine opportunity to lead
the crusade by making an example OF trans
nortation strikers elbble for military SER
vice.

Daily Prayer
FOR A QUIET MIND

In a time of tumult and uncer-
tainty, o Ruler of the Ages, we
find ourselves torn by confusing
thoughts. One day we are unduly
elated the next we are unreasoa-
ably cast down. The thermometer
OF our souls is the news reports
or our personal experiences. Sure
ly, Thou dost not want us to be
such creatures of moods. Thou hast
promised Thy permanent peace to
our spirits. We claim this promise
for ourselves today. In good or in
i'll, we would have the serene spirit
of those whose complete confidence
is in Thee. BY our quiet minds
we would prove our faith; and by
our serene attitude toward life we
would advertise Thee. Thy
greatness and sufficiency are our
refuge and our strength. May we
not fail Thee. Amen. - W. T. E.

Torrid Rivals Paired
For High P|ayoffs

Wilson VS.. Tech at 7:30 and East
ern VS.. Coolidge at 8:45 is the lineup
for Friday nights semifinal games
in the District public high school
basket ball championship playoff at
Tech gym. The two winners will
meet for the title on Saturday night.
Eastern, tied with Wilson for the
first place in the round robin series,
won yesterdays flip to decide first
place, and chose Coolidge as its
opposition. Thus the Ramblers are
taking the only team that defeated
them during the regular season,
Coolidge won that one, 1922. Will
son was a 1926 winner over Tech.
Provided the two favorites come
through in Friday nights game, and
there's no guarantee they will, it will
pit Eastern against Wilson for the
championship. That would make a
honey of a game as Eastern gave
Wilson its only defeat, 1928, during
the round robin campaign.
