Organizing the] willing hearts and capable hands of ■ the community* is the : task of the American Red Cross. The production] department, which includes making] surgical dressings, sewing for refugee! civilians or for our-own soldiers and; sailors.^and knitting needed articles is the agency through which the Red Cross mobilizes the productive skill j I and leisure • hours, of American ] ! women. 1 “Last year the women of Laurens j ; county .made almost 125,000 surgical, dressings,” said Mrs. JLeroy Habe-I ’ nicht, chairman of surgical dressings. “We also sewed 1328 kit-bags for^the use qf soldiers and 2148 articles for civilian use. Our knitting department sent to headquarters over 900 sweat" ers, mufflers, gloves, helmets, and so forth.” ; *In the Laurens chaptef, Mrs. T. P. Kendrick is chairman of sewing, and Miss Zaletha Kennedy , is chairman of knitting. In the Clinton branch, Mrs. Earl Spencer guides the'sewing j and knitting, and Mrs. Thomas Addi- !. son is i»ead of surgiqal dressings. Let me tell you how the production department works. The-quota for j each item is mad§ up for each chap-j ; ter at the Red Cross headquarters, j [and the figures set as a goal are de- i pendent upon the size of the chapter, ] and the estimated required needs of ] the army, navy, and relief authori-:! ties. Thus the women of this country, produce what is needed in this great- 1 jest- of all emergencies. Each item is [designated to meet a real need. At] ;the moment, with beachheads made 1 and invasion planned, surgical dress- ; ings are at the top of the “must ! have” list. . “In most chapters,” Mrs'. Addison ! explained, - “surgical dressing work ers are expected to.,.,.sign up for five] hours work per week. But 1 we are] ja small chapter and we knbw that! ! our workers have many calls on their ) j free time. Don’t feel that-you MUST ] ! pledge yourselves to give so many' i hours—just come in as-often as you] | Can. We will be delighted to have ! ' you with us.” 1 - , : - | I Mrs. Spencer echoed her need for 1 workers. :‘Our sewing room is prac tically finished with our quota of garments fdr relief. Workers are bad ly needed to help complete the kit bag requirements.” These women are the ones who are told.by headquarters what is expect ed of the women of Laurens county. M don’t know whether L will get a better response 1 ” by reminding the women of how well they have work ed • or by shaming them with how poorly they are working now.” The words are mine, but j the need , for j workers is the great cry of all pro- | duction chairmen. They say, “Our men are still fighting hanj, we must continue to do our share here at home.” ' , ' 1 ] ‘ ~'“ Mrs. Spencer was especially wor ried about the falling Off of knitters. “I need women who will make gloves and watchcaps arid turtle-neck sweaters. I know that a turtle-neck sweater is as much work as two V-neck sweaters, but they are needed twice as badly.” y * She told me about one of her best workers. Mrs. Jessie Sparks, at 66, turned in more garments than anyone else: 135 sweaters. “She will knit as Funeral Home Clinton, S. C* FUNERAL DmfiCTORS ...and...
