The house Is de(lightfully cool to work In, and large I enough to provide space for a sewing | room, a knitting room, a packing J room and a room In which classes of * instruction are given. Also .in the ! building is a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a closet in which office supplies and records are kept. Mrs. Egmont C. Von Tresckow has charge of the work for the summer, and assisting her is Mrs. Nettles Lindsay, the knitting chairman. Few places in this part of the country can boast of such well equipped headquarters, and it should stimulate interest in the work being undertaken by the Red Cross, and inspire those who can, to give more I of their time and their labor towards J helping in this splendid work. I The rooms are open for volunteer workers every morning. . r(SAA^*?T>>VS^??VVVVWVVWV>^?N^^<S^<VS^^?V>W<WV<) ' Camden Employment Bureau i| CROCKER BUILDING CAMDEN, S.
