SEWARD • ALASKA
of hospital supplies is progressing j
i slowly though on the whole very t
satisfactorily. A rough estimate of,
the number of garments which it will
take to fill a standard size packing
box has been placed at four hundred,
i Wo have only two more weeks in
which to complete this allottmer.t
Several ladies in town have volunter
ed the use of their sewing machines
for from two weeks to a month and.
in this way we can more than double
i our present out put.. As forecasted
sometime ago the amount of knitting
required from this chapter has been
greatly reduced but the amount of
hospital supplies has been increased
almost four times our capacity a
month ago. I
The committee in charge urge all
those who have been knitting at home
to decrease that output and turn
their energies .to the making of these
very necessary garments by either
coming to the work room and working
or taking them home to be made.
There are 2200 button holes alone,
no small task unless many hands make :
quick work of it .
The working equipment of the work
room will bo increased to meet the
demands made upon it. The following
is quoted from special Bulletin No. 1
and show conclusively why we should
put forth every effort to finish this
task which has been alloted to us.
“Hereafter our Foreign Com
missions in making requisitons of
supplies produced either by Chapters
or commercially will state the amount
to be furnished and the relative quan
tity of each item. “Allotment will be
based on these requisitions. As it is
essential to furnish those in active
service with what they need, all chap
ters and all workers are urgently re
quested to devote their energies to
the alloted tasks and thus help meet
the following conditions:
a. Difficulties in transportation
both land and water.
b. Shortage of labor and warehouse
capacity abroad & consequent necess
ity for elimination of all but supplies
actually needed.
c. Conservation of our already
overtaxed supplies of rain materials”.
The following home work has been
turned in the last two weeks:
Socks: Mrs. J. 0. Patton (6), Mrs
Castle (3), Mrs Al Davis (5), Mrs
Stoge (2), Mrs Thoreen (2), Mrs Mor
ford (5), Madame Junte (6), Mrs A.
C. Taylor (5), Mrs A. J. Rodgers (2), i
Gust Winders (2).
Sweaters: Mrs Al Davis, Mrs Gil
patrick, Mrs Burley, Mrs McNeer, Mrs
Root, Elizabeth Romig, Elizbath Tor
rey, Neina Thoreen, Mrs Sexton.
Wristlets: Mrs. McNeer.
Pajamas: Mrs Nelson (2).
Triangular Bandages: Mrs Foran
(12) Mra D. J. Fisher & Mrs Craw
ford (12).
