Red Cross Notes
A splendid response was made to
the plea for more workers at the
Red Cross -norms. Last week every
table was filled with ladies, busy
slaking surgical dressings. These
dressings are sorely needed but there
are other lines of work as well. The
ladies in the sewing loom have hos•
pital gowns, pyjamas, pillow cases
and surgical towels crit out, ready to
he sewn. This work may be done at
home.
A mew Committee has been formed
le Lake charge of the refugee work.
Underwear, clothing and knitted
goods are needed for both adults and
children. The committee would wel•
acme donations of materials or made
up garments as well as offers of as-
sistance in making the clothing, Sec-
ond hand clothing cannot be handled,
unless it is suitable for making over
into other garments.
The response to the urgent plea for
bla Icets has been most. gratifying,
Tlie Red Cross Society wishes to ex-
press their (hanks 10 all who have
contributed. The need is still great
and further donations will be grate-
fully received.
The following letter has been re -
