Local Red Cross unit seeks help for dressings drive
Corry Chapter American Red Cross reopens the surgical dressings division after a seven week suspension due to material shortages. Chairwoman Mrs Harold Gilbert says a monthly bandage quota of 20000 requires 1000 dressings daily, needing more workers and volunteers as most participants are wartime volunteers. The unit near the Federal building operates afternoons and certain evenings, with work packs and inspections handled locally and overseas shipments sent directly to war zones. A separate Fairhaven unit serves nearby residents. The article notes synthetic rubber production targets for 1944.
