Many Contributions
Aid to Red Cross
Hospital Program
Many contributions in both cash
and useful articles for army hospit-
al centers are being received at the
Red Cross sewing room, but there
is yet a great need for more money
and more of many items requested,
said I^rs. Joe B. Matthews, chair-
man, who will make her monthly
visit to the council meeting at
Camp Barkeley next Wednesday.
All who have good books, partic-
ularly Western stories, late maga-
zines, puzzles and games, card
tables, and the numerous other ar-
ticles asked for from time to time,
are urged to bring them to the
sewing room not later than Mon-
day.
Most urgent need at the present
time, Mrs. Matthews said, is for
Christmas tree decorations and
gifts for the Camp Barkeley proj-
ect. No cakes or candies are al-
lowed in the packages due to the
fact the gift packages are to be
made up early, and cost should not
exceed 25 cents, sh j said.
Gifts received recently were the
following: Mrs. Guy Caldwell, $10;
Mrs. J. W. Crites, $5; Blue Bonnet
Study club, $10; Lee's Legion Chap-
ter, D. A. R., $10. Articles were
contributed by Mmes. Richard Dy-
ess, J. W. Eaheart, R. L. Gavit, H.
R. Stasney, C. A. Fryar, and the
Davis sisters.
A quilt given by Mrs. D. C. Mc-
Cord and finished by the Red Cross
sewing room, given away last week
went to Miss Ina Davis, bringing
the sewing room $70, with which to
buy articles to fill the 140 kit bags
that are being made at this time.
The Sew and Chat club of the
Berryhill community'has made ar-
rangements to do Red Cross sew-
ing in their club meetings to aid
the local project. Mrs. Henry Jam-
eson is also contributing much to
the work program by taking the
sewing to her ranch home south of
Albany and returning the finished
garments.

There's
a crowd
on the lines
I t's always a big crowd in these
war days. But the Long Dis-
tance operator keeps the calls
moving quickly unless they
just get too many for the cir-
cuits. • If she says the cir-
cuits are busy, you can help
by canceling your call if it
isn't really important. But if
you can't cancel, the opera-
tor will request — "Please
limit your call to 5 minutes."
It's the work of war we are
trying to speed over the wires.

You and all other American boys and girls have a
big part in the job of making the food our farmers
are producing go just as far as it will in feeding our
Army, our civilians, and in helping to feed many of
our Allies. If you waste only one piece of bread a
week, just imagine what a lot of food waste that
would be if all the people in our country did the same.
This is why Mother wants you to be sure and eat all
she serves you. If you want more, ask for seconds.
With her gas refrigerator, Mother has a good place
to keep left-overs for use in nourishing soups, stews,
and special dishes.
