VOL. 37 (Published Every Thursday) CHERRYVLLLE. X. 0. THURSDAY, MAY 13. 1913 No. 19 Surgical Dressing Rooms Need Volunteer Workers CHERRYVILLE WOMEN URGED TO TAKE NOTICE AND HELP MORE AT THE RED CROSS BANDAGE ROOM. OPEN THREE TIMES WEEKLY. The Red Cross Surgical Dress ing Room Acated at the Chcrry ville Woman’s Club is still open three times a week. Monday and Thursday nights from 7:30 until 10:00 o’clock and Wednesday af ternoon from 2:30 until 5 o’ clock. At present Jhc Cherry ville Red Cross has the gauze to roll 3,200 bandages. Monday night there were only three vol unteer workers and two super visors present. Cherrys ille can not make her quota of bandages with such a poor attendance. This week in the Gastonia Daily Gazette. Zoe Kincaid Brock man expressed her opinion in her column “Unguarded Mo ments.” It shouldn’t be a sur prise to anyone to learn that the quota for the Red Cross surgical dressing rooms has been doubled, that bandages are badly needed for immediate shipment and that workers have been asked to rush the output. After all. we read every day of the terrific lighting in North Africa and glow warm ly over the prospect of an early and complete Victory. Rut we I also know, if we think at all, that not the smallest hill is taken without the loss of human life . and the mangling of hundreds of soldiers. The casualties that are pouring into the hospitals must be cared for and army hospitals j depend upon civilian volunteers | to keep the necessary, blood j stanching bandages rolling in. ] A thing of which all of us j Id be horribly ashamed is J while our boys are at dial! with the enemy and engag o one of the most brutal. i ve-wracking, Tfeart-hrcaking struggles in all history, volunteer) service at the surgical dressing room is falling off. Fewer and fewer women are-' doing tegular work there, and many who could oiler their services to this cause and have pleasant social contacts with their friends at one and the same time, have never darkened the door of the place. And so. those in charge of this work are pleading for Volunteers, are beg ging that every woman who can will give regularly of her time to this vital effort, and that wo men throughout the city and com munity will include some time at Vttrgical dressings in their sche dule. We aren't .asked to shed our blood—we’re only asked to send the gauze bandages needed to save the lives of those whose blood is flowing freely over des ert and hill and plain. These hoys are our own and they fol low our flag. What in heaven’s name the matter with us that we’re letting them down? Women think over what Mrs. Brockman has had to say con cerning the Red Cross Surgical Dressing Room. Can’t you give a little of your time each week to this most urgent and vital cause? MEDAL FOR SON OF PRESIDENT ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, May 11.— Col.
