Work Must Go On Despite Peace Terms
The Red Cross will continue its normal activities in central work rooms with all women urged to attend. Reserves in surgical dressings were sent to Italy last winter after its hospitals were captured. A telegram from Red Cross headquarters calls for continued collection of fruit pits and nut shells to build a carbon reserve. Reclamation work and winter needs remain ongoing. Linen collection is short of quota and all members should contribute at least one sheet or towel. Nurse registration continues until November 14 to show national reserve, not a service obligation.
