Volunteers Make Dressings at
Edens Hall; Helpers Needed
Room Opened For Special Work
Girls Urged To Gome Often
• Because of the urgent need of
surgical dressings by the Red Cross,
a room has been opened in Edens
hall where the girls may go to make
the bandages. Room 129 has been
turned over to the girls and they
are urged to go there as often as
possible. It will be open every week
night from 7 o'clock until 8:30,
and also on Saturday if enough girls
sign up. The unit is directly under
the sponsorship of the Red Cross
headquarters, and everyone is wel-
Of the 2500 bandages provided,
400 have been completed and it is
estimated that if enough girls will
volunteer at least 2000 a month
can be made. Tney are very easily
made and zip experience is required.
Ttye following rules have been set
up for those working on the ban­dages
in the room:
1. No one is to make surgical
dressings unless one of the sup­ervisors
is present.
2. Wear a cotton dress or smock

3. Do not work when you are
Small Containers
• The containers labeled WSSP,
placed at various points about the
building are for the benefit of the
World Student Service fund. This
fund is similar to the work of the
Red Cross, the difference being,
this fund is raised by the students
of America to be given to other
students who are victims of the
war. Money is sent to New York
where it is cabeled to Geneva. There
it is distributed in the manner in
which they see fit.
The money is used to buy books,
music and recreational equipment
for prisoners. It is used to feed
and educate the Chinese students,
and it is sent to Russia and Greece
. to buy food and medical supplies.
The money is used in America
also to provide a year's education
for a Japanese-American student
or a refugee student.
