Red Cross Appeals for Aid from Navy Wives

In view of the present invasion of Europe, the Surgeons General of the Army and Navy have asked the Cambridge Red Cross to double their output of surgical dressings before September. More volunteers among the Navy wives who will stay in Cambridge this summer are needed.

Volunteers working under the Red Cross, have made 90 per cent of all dressings used by the armed forces. Commercial plants, overburdened by war work, cannot begin to do this job. Instead of being considered a leisure time activity, making dressings is now an urgent necessity.

The work consists merely of folding gauze into pads of various sizes. Anyone can learn it in a morning. The two neighborhood workrooms are located at 23 Church Street and 22 Larch Road.
