Joyner, knitting chairman of the local 2ed Crass work room, expressed pleaure at the splendid response of knitters here to the call sent out recently by her branch. She reported eleven sweaten delivered last week and eight ready to turn in to headquarters at ynjsuul. Turtle neck sweaters, which, on account of their jalkinese are unpopular with knitters, are on the needed list Just now. Mn. Joyner, Mrs. J. O. Pollard and Mm El Ramey have proved that they can be started and finished by one person contrary to Mrs. H. Neal Howard's belief that' this was impossible. We understand that Mrs. Howard has been given fresh hope in this regard and is now engaged in "carrying on" with her task. Mrs. Robert Boose and Miss Margaret Lewis have formed a partnership on turtle necks sand are making fins headway. Joint knitting on this model seems to be winning approval mad since four or five more are needed to complete Farmville's assignment, it has beeh suggested that this method be followed. Round needles for knitting scarfs, 15 of which have been assigned to Farmville, will be available at El Harney's store, Saturday, together with wool and instructions. Volunteers are requested to obtain these materials and instructions at once, fjiy the way, whenever the El Ramey name is brought up within earslwKof a Red Crass worker, praise comes forth instantaneously and in highest terms, for it seems that Mrs. | El Ramey in addition to working untiringly in the sewing room *ad knitting at home, i*js rendered ^valuable service in assisting knitters in various ways, while Mr. El T&meyr has been kept'busy blocking sweaters. In fact all the sweaters that have been sent from the Farmville group, with the exception of those blocked for individuals by Rollins, Cleaners and Dyers, have been done by this willing and faithful worker. We aae in the papers and hear over the phone that knitting parties are in vogue now, with the hostess providing only comfortable chairs and light refreshments, usually a bottle of pop, and the guests entertaining themselves, not by gossiping or bidding slams but by knitting one and periing two.
