Red Cross
A circular letter from St.
Louis Headquarters was received
through our Chapter by Mrs.
Bridgwater last week. The let-
ter is too long to be reproduced
in full but the following extracts
should provex>f particular inter
est to our workers and should giv
them a clearer understanding of
the basis on which future *Red
Cross work will be conducted.
"Until recently Chapters have
been urged to make as many Red
Cross articles as possible. Dur-
ing the past months, National
Headquarters and our various
Foreign Commissions have bepn
working hard to d termine
scientifically the specific amount
needed for use and the exact
number of each article which will
be required at the present time
These requirements will change
from time to time according to
future needs. The findings show
definite facts:
1. The patriotic effort of our
Lmerican wo&en provided for
emergencies which existed,
lis necessarily put our rate of
taction beyond current needs.
Jot only have we supplied cur-
rent wants but we have been
ale to create reseive stock of
Cross articles in our many
warehouses throughout Europe.
2.—Chapters have not pro-
duced articles in proper pro-
portions and have not produced
sufficient of some few articles.
This is the natural result of
working without definite assign-
ments but along the fines neces-
sary until we established these
reserve stocks, namely, make
ail you can.
3. The manufacturing ability
of the millions of volunteer work-
ers is considerably in excess of
the production capacity of all
the factories in the country
equipped to make raw materals,
which, however, can supply all
the materials that will be re-
quired for quotas alloted."
Hereafter, therefore National
Headquarters, will give to each
Division a definite allotment, all
purchases will be made by the
National Director of purchase.
The Division will then sell that
material to Chapters which will
limit the purchasing of raw ma-
terials to one source—the Na-
tional Headquarters. Cut gar-
ments only, no piece goods, will
be sold by the Bureau of supplies
and m case of yarn or other
bulk material, particulars re-
garding the amount required will
be furnished you.
Do not let any of your women's
work become discouraged. Re-
duce it if necessary on the basis
of the number of hours' work re-
ired of each individual, but do
>t dismiss any worker. Even
though at present there are to
be no changes in the surgical
dressings or in the quotas given,
vou will find it advisable during
the summer months, owing to
the shortage of gauze, to run
vour surgical dressings shops on
a half time basis. This yon will
find more satisfactory than to
lay off any of your workers. In-
cidently you will find the average
refugee garment requires more
time and work than does the
average hospital garment. Also,
owing to the tremendous alot-
ment of knitting you will be able
to transfer many of your knitters
from the surgical dressings and
garment rooms to knitting. You
may find it convenient to
organize knitting rooms. Don't
forget that patriotism requires
everyone of us to do what
we are called to do regardless of
whether we might pefer to do
some other type of work or not.
In the event you are now en-
gaged in making any articles not
called for in your quota, finish
these and send them to the
Bureau of supplies, but upon re-
ceipt of your quota and after you
have finished with your present
work, you must concentrate en-
tirely on those articles alotted to
your Chapter.
The Bureau of supplies may
not for the time being, be able
to supply us with all its material
needed for our present alotment;
you will not be expected to fill
your quota in unless we can sup-
ply you with the requisite ma-
terial."
