Woman's Belgian Relief drive fills Grachtinger Red Cross rooms
The women's column reports a large influx of ready to wear articles and material for overhauls sent to the Grachtinger Red Cross work rooms for Belgian relief. Schools contributed fine garments and many items were shipped to county headquarters and Emmetsburg chapter. Various departments list outfits for men women and children, including quilts, booties, dresses, coats, and knitted blankets. The note urges reuse of old shoes and highlights Junior Red Cross progress and recipes from local residents.
