3OIKB RED CROSS WORKERS There is great difficulty in secuiIng gauze and other materials for surgical dressings in sufficient quantities to meet the enormous dermands- of the past few months and the point has been reached where 'the supply is nearly exhausted. AH chapters in the Lake division have been notified to either close their shops for surgical dressings for a few weeks or curtail the work .when only • limited supply of gauze is on hand. Our Local chapter has a small supply and it is deemed advisable to continue the work for two days a week as long as the materials are available.

Until further notice the shop will be open for surgical dressings Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evening. Those ladies who have been working other days are requested to arrange their time to suit this schedule. We acre assured by headquarters that there is a sufficient supply of dnsHWga. made in advance to meet all present needs both here and abroad, and every effort is being: made to bring about a speedy adjustment of this shortage. HELEN DAMSON, Supervisor of Surgical Dressings. Behncrfbe for The Democrat.
