HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Mny IB, 1043 PAGE SIX More Help Needed At Dressings Room Women Must Meet Quota As Set by Surgical I Projects Area Office for Klamath Falls "Time On My Hands" is merely the name of a song, ac cording to Klamath Falls women who, almost without excep tion are doing some kind of war work. But regardless of the few extra hours that are available in any busy woman's sched ule, there is one project which needs to have more time given to it by both men and women alike, and that is the surgical dressings project under way in the Klamath county chapter, American Red Cross, rooms on Main street. Quota for Klamath county is 70,000 dressings each month for the duration. Don't be sur prised if this figure 'is upped. That is quite possible. Mrs. Ralph R. Macartney, who is surgical dressings project chairman, makes this explana tion of the break-down in dressings figures: For the women in the main work room, 34,000 dressings; for the men, 3000. From each auxiliary unit must come 4000 dressings per month. These units, now under way, are Mills, Altamont, Merrill, Tulelake and Gilchrist. These, of course, are in addition to the main workroom. Mills and Altamont are over their quota! Merrill, Tule lake and Gilchrist, which have been in operation for the past two weeks, are making a cred itable showing. Last week at Tulelake, some thirty women showed up and all but two were from the country. These women are busy raising small livestock, raising their Victory gardens which put the small town plots to shame, and are feed ing farm hands. At Altamont tome women walk in four - miles to the dressings center and are fortunate to get a ride back at night. Altamont is over its quota. Thirty-three were in attendance last week. Hours are from nine o'clock . in the morning to ten o'clock at night, right straight - through. Thursday is the day. At Mills the women are proud of their record and they have a right to be. The work room is open Tuesday and - Thursday from 12 noon to four o'clock. Workrooms at the main project are open every day in the week with the exception of Saturday and Sunday, and on Tuesday and Thursday eve nings the classes are largely attended by workinc women. The men have set Monday night as their special night to gather. Some of the men are quite perturbed over the at- tendance which, it seems, has dwindled. These men are up to their ears in business timh. lems which, right now, means war problems. But there are men who have less, demanding work and they should be on hand with the rest of the boys . in painter's caps, folding band . ages for sons, brothers, neph ews and the neighborhood kids who are on the fighting front. . Mrs. Macartney expects to visit the area office in San Francisco within a week or two. From the area office, according to word received by us, much praise goes out to the surgical dressings project rooms in our town. The disci- FOR A LIMITED.
