RED CROSS WORK
There was quite a crowd of
busy women in the Red Cross
sewing room Tuesday. About
15 garments were made and
several others were finished.
We have finished the 15 boys’
suits allotted to us, and are
now working on trench foot
slippers. We will finish our
quota of sewing and have it
at headquarters on time.
There may be some delay
with the quota of knitting not
our fault, but because they
could not get the yarn to us on
time. The yarn has been ship
ped and perhaps will be here
before this is published.
