-~-- | o- April 3, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 3k Provide Glimpse Into Red Cross Working Rooms It would take one back to the every- minute-filled days of 1918 to spend an hour in the Volunteer Service room at the American Red Cross 616 South Michigan avenue, Chicago. Here every- week-day, groups of women from church societies, women's clubs, and ex- service men's auxiliaries, as well as other women who find their chief inter- est in Red Cross work, may be found busily engaged in sewing and making needed articles. Many of these women pledge one day a week or one day a month to the Red Cross. In the pleasant light workroom, un- der the leadership of Mrs. Grace B. Pettengill, director of volunteer serv- ice, hundreds of garments are made each year. There are pajamas, layettes, children's dresses, rompers, etc., for the families of needy exservice men, cre- tonne bags in preparation for next Christmas, bandages for first aid. Be- witching crepe paper favors are planned to make gay the trays of bed patients in the veteran's hospitals; each holi- day is observed with appropriate "gloom-chasers" -- clowns for April Fool's Day, gay tulips and daffodils for Easter. Last week more than 500 crepe paper ruffs in gorgeous colorings were prepared for an April Fool's party at a hospital devoted entirely to mental cases. Thanks to the untiring efforts of the women who work in the department of Volunteer Service, 8,674 garments for disabled veterans and their families and for emergency needs were made in 1925. From this stock, layettes and children's garments were sent to the disaster area in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri and to the relief of the suf- ferers of Greece and the Virgin Islands. Uniforms and aprons were made for nurses in training in the hospitals of {among Roumania and Hungary. Five hundred cretonne Christmas bags filled with pencils, playing cards, cigarett cases, handkerchiefs, key rings, soap, etc., were shipped to enlisted army and navy men stationed in foreign ports. It was necessary to start some of these ship- ments in July in order to have them reach their destinations in time for Christmas. Wilmette Leader Attends Illinois Student Session Dr. Martin H.

Aside from its beautiful and dignified appeat- ance, its most pleasing feature is the side door loading, where the patient is placed into the || w Coach through the large side door, as in a private |f limousine, instead of through the rear door as in the old style ambulance. The Coach is equipped with full sized balloon lll tires and the cot is supplied with an air mattress |x fl which adds to the riding comfort of the patient. It also contains a Doctor's emergency cabinet, electric fan, etc., all of which add to the safety and convenience of the patient.
