They sew and knit garments, pack food and supplies, fill precious boxes for our boys in enemy prisons. Since the war began, Red Cross "Blue Smock" workers have made millions of articles from approved patterns, packed millions of cases, for fighter and civilian comfort and relief. Other volunteer women, specially trained, drive cars, trucks, ambulances, help as nurses and nursing aides, office workers and dietitians. Hun- dreds of doctors, too, give their time freely to help relieve human suffering. The 857,000 members of the Junior Red Cross also, are doing work of untold value. These volunteers make YOUR Red Cross dollars go farther for material, food, medical supplies, preparation of blood serum, for our fighters and war victims on the world's war fronts. This must go on. As the war expands, intensifies, the need grows. Never was the need for YOUR dollars so great. TL Brussels Campaign Headquarter R. J.
