The Women's Patriotic Society will
not hold a meeting the first Friday
of the New Year but the ladies are
asked not to forget that the Socie-
ty is trying to double the output of
socks for January. Fi:om the moth-
erland comes the appeal for more
socks, as during the past month
twice as many socks were given out
to Canadians as were received. from
Canada. laturallp this decreases the
supply veep seriously and Canadian
women. must
endeavor to put more
time into the worm of
preparingdiihgg comeforts for her sioldiei boys at the
front.
