plies required: 50 suits pyjamas, 20

will be. noticed this is a large quota

much sewing will be necessary. The
fact tlfat these supplies are required
as soon as possible, should appeal to
all women to assist. So, the Red Cross
is asking that workers turn out to the
rooms on Tuesdays and Thursdays
where the articles are cut and ready
for sewing. Will you do your share?

but is expected soon.
