With work being done every afternoon and all day Saturdays, the out put has been nearly tripled. War-time army regulations make it impossible to know the exact destination of the bandages, but all indications show they have most likely been used in field hospitals or marine hospitals in Alaska, Africa, the Solomons and other fighting areas. Some of the garments made by the sewing unit were used direct ly in cases near Eugene during the flood months.
