HAVE YOU MADE YOURS? A twelve inch crocheted block, (square), made of cords or yarns, cut from discarded silk hosiery Fifteen blocks make a dandy serviceable cover, used on hospital bed or cot cover, and no matter how we may feel about it. we are going to need them: thousands of them, for our own brave Yankee Soldiers (perish the thought) but get busy mother, sister, wife and sweetheart. If you can’t crochet, then by all means cut the strips (about 2 1/2 inch wide—not over please) and send them in. Work can be divided and everyone can help. Send in your old silk hose for others to cut. A little job, for a big cause! !VICTORY BLOCKS! For details see or call Della Eberhardt.

WAR RELIEF MATERIAL

A letter was received by the local Red Cross chapter last week informing this community that most of the material for War Relief has been exhausted and because of this, we will receive only a small part of material asked for at this time. Only material for boys’ shirts and yarn for sweaters and sox are available. This will probably be our last order for War Relief material and our next quota, will likely be for our own armed forces. Miss Sadie Weedman is conducting knitting classes and anyone who desires instruction has an opportunity to do so. Call Miss Weedman or Mrs. A. L. Medcalf for information as to time and place of knitting classes.
