PAGE SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Jun 10. 19-18 Surgical Dressing N. Production in May Tops All Records Surgical dressing production in Klamath county during May topped all previous records, with a total number of 50,491 dress ings. Nearest approach to this number was reached In March, when over 48,000 dressings were made. ' v Quota for the county for all months has been set at 70,000 dressings, according to Mrs. R. R. Macartney, instructor for the Klamath county chapter of Red Cross. Amount of dressings pro duced has increased steadily since the project was started in De cember of last year, when 11,000 dressings were made. Only once did the level fall below that of the preceding month, when the April total of about 45,000 dropped below the March pro duction of over 48,000. Dressings are produced in the Klamath Falls center, and in six auxiliary units through the county. Auxiliary units are at Mills addition, where the school house is used as a center; at the Red Cross headquarters in Tulelake: at the Altamont schoolhouse; in Merrill above the First National bank; at the former Santford Jones store in Malin; and the former club room in the Gilchrist communi ty center, which was donated for this purpose. . Dressings now being made are of the surgical sponge type, which are used for swabs and drains, and are in direct con tact with wounds. The sponges come in three sizes, 4 by 8 inches, 4 by 4. and 2 by 2. They are sterilized, but not inspect ed after they are received by the army, and are not opened again until they are put in use. Dressings which are not ac ceptable under army-Red Cross standards are destroyed at the production center. After the dressings are made they are shipped to various army depots, usually at inland sta tions, before being put on sup ply trains to seaports where they are loaded in ships carry ing food, ammunition and other supplies for shipment to over seas forces. The work is cleared by the Red Cross for the army, which furnishes materials, shipping boxes and labels to the produc tion centers. Red Cross head quarters in San Francisco as sign quotas of specific numbers of certain types of dressings to be made at west coast produc tion centers. The Red Cross makes 80 per cent of all surgi cal sponges to be used by the armed forces. - Shipping orders for the dress ings are sent from San Francis co headquarters to the various units, but these orders originate from the army. All surgical dressings are shipped overseas, according to Mrs. Macartney. Red Cross workers making surgical bandages receive offi cial recognition after 50 hours' work, and receive the Red Cross insignia. Instructors wear -a stripe on their caps. There are about 24 supervisors in the county now and each of these women devote two full days each week to their Red Cross duties. Classes in Klamath Falls are from 0 to 4 each week day, and on Monday, Tuesday and Thurs day evenings from 7 to 10. Mon day night is especially for men, although women may attend with their husbands. Women are required to wear freshly laundered wash dresses and coverings for the head. Men remove their coats and vests and wear clean cotton shirts over the ones they wear to the center. Street clothes must not be worn in the surgical dressing room, said Mrs. Macartney. - Remodeling Done At LaPointe's Remodeling of display space and fitting rooms is being com pleted at LaPointe's, with the millinery department enlarged to double the former space. ' Fonderosa pine in a unique finish, with maple trim, is used for the cabinet work. Indirect fluorescent lighting features the enlarged hat bar, the many new mirrors and display alcoves. Included in the remodeling are the departments for pull overs, skirts, millinery, handbags and jewelry. Only nine states are using new plates for 1943, and in most cases they are reprocessed.

Free Enterprise Gets Boost From Oregon Lawmaker WASHINGTON. June 10 (IP) Representative Angell (R-Ore.) cautioned the house there could be no greater problem facing the nation than that of restoring "free enterprise in America" af ter the close of the war. "While it is true that during war emergency it is necessary to lodge almost dictatorial powers in the hands of the commander-in-chief and the war agencies un der him responsible for the con duct of the war," Angell said, "we must not forget that these powers are temporary and for the duration of the war and must be revoked following - cessation of hostilities.
