PATRIOTIC SEWING
WORK FOR P.B. WOMEN REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED BANDAGES AND BED-LINEN Under the auspices of the Poverty Bay Women’s Central Representative committee, sewing circles are to be arranged within the next month to organise supplies of sewn stores for the joint council of the Red Cross Society and St. John Ambulance. A letter received at a meeting of the committee last evening provided an outline of the requirements of the joint council under this heading. “Certain stores will be needed ultimately for overseas, for returned men, and for the home base, should there be air raids or the evacuation of towns,” stated the letter. “These stores might include bandages, cotton shirts, towels, face-cloths, pillow-slips, socks, slippers, handkerchiefs, underpants, and flannel shirts.”
