The regular Red Cross knitters cannot possibly meet the „ need at the present time. Knit twice as much yourself and endeavor to enlist the aid of at least oneother person. The National Chairman asks that all wool for sweaters now out be made up promptly and shipped to warehouse as soon as they can be. The need ie just that great! We count on every Red Cross work- er to listen to this appeal: We would like to see our Red Cross workers • of Seaforth and . district adopt two of the five points of Gen- eral Montgomery's message to his troops: "Enthusiasm" and "all-out effort." So many 'of our people have good intentions, they tell us they in- tend to.•come to the work rooms for :.. sewing or wool for knitting, but, you knots-, ladies, good intentions will -not put those turtle -neck sweaters on our boys as they start out over enemy territory, nor will it keep our sailors warm in the cold North Atlantic, nor . clothe the needy. We have accepted a new sewing quota, and if we had the enthusiastic all-out effort of our ladies we could finish our new knitting quota and our previous sewing quotas in one month. Won't you help?
