HEREwcunww Christmas Cards Notes from A Woman’s Workshop WELL, WE’RE WAITING. . , The dully press has been quoting Miss Agnes McPhail and Senator Iva Fallis, in their criticism of Canadian women’s ceaseless knitting. Both (suggest that our brains might be better employed in other lines, possibly producing goods in some of the factories contributing to war work. Granting the truth of this, can they give us more specific informa­ tion? Where are such factories? What do. they make? How many of us do they need? What qualifications do they demand? The government has, in oux* registration cards, a supposedly correct index of our potential value along various lines. We can do little without more positive direc­ tion. Furthermore, It appears that it is not fully realized that the quantities of warm home-knitted garments being shipped to Britain are largely produced in odd moments which would otherwise be fruitless, and the work is done entirely by free labor. Personally, I’ni tired of being labelled “complacent”, We need someone to tell us just what to do—and we’ll do it. this year send Greeting Cards from our excellent == selection # • CENTRALIA Mr. and Airs.

First, a comfortable seat with good light should be chosen. Find out what you personally require to secure greatest comfort in position (I find that a cushion under my left elbow takes the strain'from the shoulder). To overcome eyestrain, train your­ self to knit without constantly watching your needles. I find that a steady, rhythmic movement cdmplishes more than hurried, accurate needleplay. When fingerwork becomes a habit, „ I mind should be free for other | things. Some women read and knit; most Of us talk and knit and itj would not hurt many of us to think while we If one to start There is never seeming to get any nearer <the end. Needles should be chosen with due regard to the looseness or tightness of your knitting. Cast­ ing on and off should be done very loosely; an extra chain between thei regular stitches gives a stronger I edge. If a bit of simple work is kept handy, many odd moments can be saved. A reader of the page says she keeps a string of buttons in her bag to count rows or stitch­ es. That seems a good idea. And • by the way, knitting is. onea of the very old arts. ‘Coming from Arabia about 200 A.D., it was brought to Europe by sailors.

It did not seem to do them any harm, for they were capable and chaste and thoroughly responsible for the fam­ ily life. Since the Goths conquer­ ed two-thirds of Europe, they pre­ sumably did a good job on their menfolk. # $ * SKY RIDE ON SKIS model French-Canadian' with shops, cottages, cafe and skiing school, forty different, colours Canada’s newest winter resort is a million-doliar ski village nest­ ling at the foot of Mt.

With these requests the govern­ ment is in full sympathy, knowing well how the Canadian people ap­ preciate the valiant struggle which the Russians are making against the common enemy. But a great many small or isolated appeals might -prove to be a costly method of rais­ ing the money, and so the Govern­ ment has asked the Canadian Red Cross Society to make andonation-wide drive, gladly undertaken the have set as our goal the hundred thousand dollars. Now, -five .hundred thousand dol­ lars is a great deal of money, and, to raise it, the co-operation of Canadian is needed. We all knowhow deserving cause. In the words of Lord fax, British Ambassador to the Un­ ited States: “Russia’s battle is Britain’s f bat­ tle, and the Russian people have given the world a noble example of courage and unity in the face of deadly peril!” Yes, on Russian soil to-day the bloodiest war in all history is rag­ ing. Russia with brave determina­ tion 'is withstandng blows which would otherwise be directed at Bri­ tain and her Dominions. The least we can do is to' send quickly, while they can do most good, a great flood of .hospital, equipment, surgi-, cal dressings, medical supplies, warm ' clothing. These and many other things must be sent quickly, for the terrible Russian winter is already closing in. Many thous­ ands of sick and wounded soldiers are suffering for lack of adequate care.
