Walhalla Brunch. ?J? | Next Thursday has been sot aside as "Mending Day" at the Walhalla Rod Cros rooms, and the members are urged to bo present on that day and help with the mending of a num ber of Bhirts for tho soldiers. Those garments have all heen carefully washed and put In sanitary condi tion, so no ono need fear infection. * * * Tho Bureau of Aircraft Produc tion of tho War Department has re quested the Red Cross to give the widest possible publicity to the vital need of walnut wood for uso in tho making of aeroplane propeller blades and gun stocks. Tho matter is ac cordingly being brought to the at tention of the entire Red Cross or ganization in all parts of the coun try, with the request that the state ment be read in all chapter, branch and auxiliary work rooms, posted on bulletin hoards, inserted in local newspapers and in all other ways given full publicity. The Bureau of Aircraft Production I states that walnut has been found to bo the best and most desirable wood In the construction of aeroplane propeller blades and gun Btocks. Both of these are essential parts of war machinery. Walnut trees are scat tered through different parts of thc United States, growing in 'small groups, and in taking tho necessary steps to soo that tho trees are made available to the government, the own ers^of trees have an opportunity to demonstrate their patriotism in a most practical and effective manner. Only a part of the lumber produced from each tree can bo used, and the government cannot, therefore, buy the trees from tho owners. When the trees are sold to a saw-mill wheih has a government contract for lum ber for propeller blades or gun stocks, this wood will bo sorted out and put to tho uses ot which it ls i best adapted. Owners of walnut trees ? can probably lind out In their com munities which saw-mils have gov ernment contracts; but If this Infor-' mation ls not available, please write, giving the number of trees and their location, to the "Ordnance Depart ment, Procurement Division, Small Arms Section, Washington, D. C." Let every one help the government in locating these trees and in getting their owners to take stops to have them put in this very necessary war use. Mrs. J. A.
