This week the Girl Scout Hut,
located one block southeast of
the High School, was turned over
to the Red Cross Production
Committee for use. Formerly lo-
cated in the Methodist Church
annex, the committee will move
its equipment to the building
this week end, and sewing as
well as bandage making will be
done there.
The City of Aransas Pass has
offered the group the use of the
sewing machines which were for-
merly a part of the WPA sewing
room. Two of the machines will
be used for bandage making
alone, while others will be used
for making clothing.

tion chairman, and Miss Frances |

charge of making surgical dress- j
ings, were in Sinton last Wed-j
nesday and Thursday to receive |
; instructions in making the dress-1
i ings.
Women who want to make j
bandages have been asked to get j
in touch with Mrs. Coleman orj
with Miss Helme, so that when
the materials arrive they may be !
notified. The dressings must be |
made and delivered within 30 \
days after materials arrive and!
it is imperative that workers be
secured.
