Each stocking will contain articles which cost a total of at least $1.50. The Red Cross has agreed to furnish the material for these stockings but it is the responsibility of the local unit to see that they are made and filled. Cut-ting, stitching, and decorating the stockings with twine is to be the job of the Home Economics Club. This unit plans to have the stock-ings filled by an assembly line in the gym. One person will drop walnuts into the toe of each stocking and pass it on to the next who will add Christ-mas candy. Passing will continue down the line until the stocking has been filled. These seventy-five stockings are a contribution to the 100 gifts from col-lege units. These are only 1000 of 12,000 gifts which have been request-ed from this area. Each stocking will hold its fill of these articles: nuts, hard candy, play-ing cards, memo pad, gum or cigar-ettes, pencil and sharpener, address book, a 1945 calendar, a dictionary, map of the United States, some small game, puzzle or yo-yo, handkerchief, dog-tag chain of plastic or non-tarnish-able metal, harmonica or ocarina, safety razor, razor blades, unbreakable shaving mirror, shaving cream, tooth-brush, tooth paste, foot powder, pocket comb, nail file, pocket picture frame, 27-inch black shoe laces, small box of saddle soap, insect repellent, plastic cigarette case, sewing case, small books, and stationery. A greeting with "American Red Cross" and "Christmas Greetings," the name of the organization, and the name of the college unit will be in-cluded. Sevfenty-five stockings at $1.50 each is $112.50, which the local unit must raise for this project. Students and faculty, clubs and individuals, all are expected to contribute. This unit also plans at least one Christmas party at a hospital, the deco-ration of several wards, and perhaps a DOX of Christmas decorations for a ship. A full program has been planned for this year by the Red Cross unit here on the campus, including the blood bank, knitting, and entertainment of the con-valescent service men. For the blood bank, which is one of the more important activities and is to be on the campus, the goal is 200 pints of blood. This means that at least 250 donors must be enrolled, because some will be rejected for medical reasons. The majority of this 250 will come from the three business districts in this section, Slauson and Vermont, Ver-mont and Manchester, and Broadway and Manchester. To illustrate the en-thusiasm with which these people have entered into the project, employers in these districts havp agreed that em-ployees who are blood donors will have the required time off with pay. A fur-ther illustration and an excellent ex-ample for us is Mrs. Pepperdine, who has donated eight times, the limit. Three Pepperdiners who are on the Blood Donor Honor Roll, Jewell Risley, Elwanda Kniffin, and Dorothy Kee, have given three or more times. This Red Cross unit hopes for just as excellent a response this October 27. The doctor will be on the campus from three until seven o'clock in the afternoon, assisted by those who have had first aid. The Faculty Wives Club and the Mother's Club hav p offered their assistance in informing the don-ors of their appointments, which will be screduled three minutes apart. There must be at least 150 pints of blood donated, or the blood bank will not return to the campus. In early November this Red Cross unit plans to start a fund for a Christ-mas party in one of the convalescent hospitals. At least one such enter-tainment is to be planned every follow-ing month. Ruth Schultz is chairman of the committee to knit washcloths of colored string. These are needed desperately; the armed forces have re-quested 8,000 immediately. Lorene Wells is in charge of the committee that rolls bandages. They work at Ox-ford and Washington about twice a week. This Saturday the Red Cross cabinet and its faculty sponsor, Miss Ruth Wiley, meets at the headquarters in Los Angeles for the intercollegiate unit gathering with UCLA, USC, St. Mary's, and Immaculate Heart, to give a report on last year and plan for this year.
