THURSDAY JUNE ;14th 1945 THE HOME PAPER
COUNCIL MEETING
: RED , CROSS NOTES
To Women's War. Work Convenors:.
Ata meeting of the Women's' War
Work :.Committee held recently,
Regional, _Mailmen suggested that
the workrooms throughout the Pro-
vince be given a real holiday this
summer, We realize the tremendous
strain - under which all our women
have done their job since the beginn-
ing of. the war: Nowwith the home-
coming' of tile'. men "released from
prison camps, " the return of our
armies and the end of. the conflict in
Europe, there will be rejustnients
to be made in every home. No words
Can express the - gratitude of ...this
office. for •the constant •service that
has been rendered, and for your
Ioyalty and co-operation at all times.
Detailed arrangements, of course,
will be left to ,your discretion, but
we suggest that workrooms' close
for July and August.
Unfinished- work should be com-
pleted, before the ' workrooms er.
closed, and we hope that you
would be able to give out wool for
knitting, -.particularly for service
socks -and small articles for sewing,.
that the women might work on at
their leisure. Also we ask you
to write now for quotas and mater-
ials to have on hand for the re-
opening of your workrooms in Sep-
tember. These quotas will be dated
September 1st.
It had been hoped that by this
time, we might have been able to
commence the making of layettes
which are so desperately needed in
Europe, and for which .pitiful appeals
have come in. Unfortunately, we
have not been
able'to secure mater-
ials. As and when these materials
are available, even though . it is
during the summer months, we will
ask you to try to get started ori
this work. Samples will be furnished
you, and the small articles could be
made by the women at home.
In announcing this holiday it
must be remembered that we are
still at war and in a state of ewer-
genoy, and •it should be clearly
understood that we might have to
call on :the Brhliehesrmt 'airy tanie;`ri
the need should arise. There is still
a big job to be done by the Women's
War Work Committee. We will have
to do our part in furnishing supplies
for the war in the East.' Looking
after our returned men will be
another big consideration, and there
is a tremendous program for the
Fall of sewing and knitting for the
People of the liberated countries.
Yours sincerely
Mrs. Lane Knight, Chairmahe
Ontario Division,
Women's War Work Committee
P•S•-Those Branches who have
undertaken to make Surgical Dres-
sings, are asked to make arrange-
ments so that this most important
work will continue during the sum-
mer months, as there can be no let-
up in the flow of those supplies.
Clinic' Date is Tuesday, June 19th:
We urge all donors who are
called to try and keep their appoint..
went. Plasma is still urgently needed
As there will be no clinic in July it
makes it doubly important , for us
to make this one larger in number.
New donors will ' sbe particularly
welcome.
