MATERIAL RECEIVED FOR
ELGIN’S NEW RED CROSS
QUOTA;WORKERS NEEDED
Beginning Monday of next week,
the Red Cross War Relief Production
Rooms will be in full swing starting
the sewing and knitting of our second
quota. That we may be clear in our
minds as to what needs to be done,
we must realize that our quota is a
much heavier one than the one we
have-just finished. We must have
determination, which means patience
and courage and the will to see to a
successful conclusion the task we
have undertaken. It must not be how
little time I can give, but how much
time I will give.
The guota is as follows: Men’s
Sweaters, 18; Women’s Sweaters, 38;
Children’s Sweaters, 75; Hospital
Pajamas. 34; Toddler Packs, 67;
Girl’s Woolen Skirts, 134; Women’s
Woolen Dresses, 59; Mufflers, 12;
Junior Red Cross 35 Mufflers.
The yarn for the knitting comes in
three colors, maroon, royal blue and
olive green. Some of the women
have already received the new yarn.
