Large Number
Surgical Dressings
Completed Last Week
Two thousand, one hundred sixty
five surgical dressings were com
pleted last week at the Early county
Red Cross work room located in the
American Legion hall, it was an
nounced yesterday. Each dressing
w as carefully made according to
regulations, and checked and re
checked. The same regulations were
carefully observed in the tying and
packing.
Seventy-eight ladies reported for
work, a magnificent response, and
made a total of 390 hours of work.
Mrs. 0. L. Hooten established a
record for the work room by making
106 sponges that met U. S. Army re
quirements in four hours’ time.
It is expected that last week’s
record will be doubled next week,
and ail workers who failed to make
the Victory Roll this week (8 hours
minimum requirement per week) can
do so this week by putting in their
eight hours plus the deficit.
All workers are requested to re
port early in the week to be sure to
make their quota. The regular hours
that the work room is open are re
ported this week in the paper. .La
dies in the county will be welcome
to the work room and it is urged
that they form community groups to
conserve gasoline and tires.
The surgical dressings program is
one of the most necessary phases of
war work and no one can afford to
fail her duty here.
