First Quota Surgical
Dressings Arrives for
Red Cross Chapter
The first quota of surgical dress
ings for the Early County Chapter
of the American Red Cross has ar
rived from the Surgeon General of
the United States Army. Woi'k must
begin at once, and volunteers and
supervisors will receive notice in a
few days to report for work, it was
announced here yesterday.
The Red Cross deeply appreciates
the generosity of volunteers in the
city. Many have responded, but it
is stated others will be needed. If
you receive a notice to report at a
certain time, please make every ef
fort to do so for this first meeting,
then you may select a time more
suiable for you. If for any reason
you cannot give the full number of
hours, kindly take this up with the
chairman of surgical dressings.
If you have volunteered and fail
to receive notice within the next
two weeks, please report to the
chairmen, as your name may not
have been turned in. You may not
receive notice for the first class, but
you should within two weeks.
Excellent supervisors have been
trained and they, with your assist
ance, will make sure that the local
chapter will not fail in its quota.
This will be your contribution to the
front. Always keep in mind
these dressings are for those sol
diers, men and officers alike, who
have already performed in their line
of duty. Wherever else you fall
down in your duty, you must not fail
here. Be ready when the call comes.
