Red Cross Workers
Needed Thursday
Mrs. Inez Boyd, chairman of
Red Cross production, appealed
for 12 workers to do volunteer
work in the production room
Thursday from 1 to 8 p. m.«
According to Mrs. Boyd, the
army wives’ groups are "doing an
excellent job,” but more workers
are needed. Eight women are
needed to run the * sewing ma-
chines and four to pin hems. An-
other two women could be used
for cutting, she said.
“Our slogan to our boys is ‘we
are with you.’ Let’s keep our
slogan by sewing in the Red Cross
production room,” Mrs. Boyd
urged.

Montague Fruit
Crop Is Valuable
MONTAGUE, Tex., May 30 —
The good fruit prospects in Mon-
tague county orchards induce a
prediction by authorities of a
cash income for this year’s crop
of the county in excess of half a
million dollars. And harvesting
and marketing of the crop Will be
under way for the next three
months since dewberries are ri-
pening and other varieties of
fruits will be coming on weekly
through the summer season.
The greater portion f this
bumper fruit crop will be mar-
keted, but also a considerable
amount will be canned by pro-
ducers for their own use, since
short crops of the last three years
have occasioned the using up of
most of the home-canned fruits,
leaving many empty jars to be
refilled.
