Description

Red Cross Workers Needed: Cannon Hill Auxiliary Has Room For More Women.; Red Cross Workers Needed: Cannon Hill Auxiliary Has Room For More Women. More workers are wanted by the Cannon Hill auxiliary of the Red Cross, whose officers and heads of committees met last night at the home of Mrs. W. G. MacNaughton, W1711 Tenth avenue. Mrs. MacNaughton's home is open for the work every day in the week except Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Two rooms are used for making surgical dressings and the others for knitting and sewing. Eighty-five women are working at the dressings and 81 at knitting and sewing, but officers of the auxiliary say that only half the capacity of the house is used. More workers are especially desired on Mondays and Thursdays. Any woman who has joined the Red Cross may have her membership transferred to the Cannon Hill organization. Since the auxiliary was formed the latter part of November it has used 130 pounds of wool, made 167 infants' shirts, 14 sweaters, 12 large and 24 small T bandages and a quantity of hospital garments.
