British War Relief
In spite of the inordinate de
mands that the Christmas holidays
"wave made upon their time, the
Volunteer workers at the Tryon
workship have not ceased in their
efforts to aid Britain’s homeless.
Work has been going on steadily
since the workrooms opened on
October 28 and with the coming
year presenting more insistent
demands, it is safe to assume that
the pace will be greatly acceler
ated. The burden thus far, is
falling upon a small, loyal group
who have continually sacrificed
their time in making garments for
women and children and repairing
used clothing. Additional work
ers will soon be neded to share
in these activities and it is to be
hoped that more women will
pledge their aid. Knitted sweat
ers and scarfs are still desperate
ly needed and there is a large
of wool on hand for those
B r ho have the leisure to do the
at home.
> Since the opening of the work
-rooms, the following articles have
been sent to New York for ship
ment to Britain:
713 Used Garments.
88 Nt v Woolen Blankets.
40 Knitted Garments.
43 New Nightgowns.
The total weight of these ar
ticles was 1,898 pounds. The to
total hours of work involved, 799.
United States expected to build
ships for British. Sentiment grow
ing in this country to help Britain
more.

think Germany and Russia to clash
soon. Germany has taken over
control of Rumania and 300,000
German troops are on their way to
“keep order.”
