If he served in any branch o f the army or military service, either as a volunteer or through the draft or in a foreign army, we want his record to appear through this report which we are sending into the homes to be signed.” Mrs. Lee Tate is in receipt of a letter from Salem to the effect that the Red Cross is making a final call for knitters. The American Red Cross is shipping 75 per cent o f their materials to the country suffering from the war. The letter asks the women to knit the yarn into children’s stockings, sweaters, scarfs and shawls. It is for the orphans of Europe that the ladies are asked to knit. The letter says in part; “ You have done such wonder ful work in your Auxiliary both in quantity and quality, that I hesitate to even ask you to give more time, when I know o f the many home duties demanding your tim e.” There is plenty o f yam and it is urged that all who can will call for same and do their share in knitting for the Stayton Red Cross.
