E.P.S.

Ki:i? CROSS SUCTION The women's task of establishing aid posts throughout. the district is steadily progressing, thanks lo the efforts of willing helpers. It is l'oiuul necessary, however, to appeal to the residents for equipment, and helpers. The personnel needs strengthening in all departments and it. is hoped that any women who can, will link uy with this unit, it is realised that should an emergency arise there would be many people willing: lo help sick and wounded, but it will be appreciated that an organised group would be more effective than and unorganised one, and that, the more helpers there are available the less work will fall on all. There are four departments in which helpers can assist in time of emergency, namely, nursing, dietary, laundry, and clerical; volunteers would be posted to the aid post nearest their home. Ladies interested in offering their services could make l'urther enquiries from the organiser. Miss, E. W. Lancaster, or the secretary. Mrs. A. C. Stevenson. A quantity of equipment of various kinds has been purchased, donated or promised in readiness for setting up the aid posts, but certain equipment is still needed and the organisation appeals to residents to give what they are able of the following articles: - Thermometers, mackintosh sheeting, air rings, enema cans. bed pans, urinals, enamel basins, buckets, kidney basins, or any other suitable enamel ware, hyperdormic syringes, etc. Articles would need to be in good condition and through the courtesy of the Red Cross Sowing CI roup may be left at. the lied Cross Rooms, on Wednesdays from 2 p.in to 4 p.m W.\V,S. \.
