' '\ • • v ' REVIEW S *' / It! C O U m REVIEW THE FIRE DEPARTMENT r r U . r , February 21, l f l» Red Cross Notes (Continued from Page 1) '’d you feelt That's the expert •nee of one American soldier and it’s vouched for by the American Red Cross who gave out the sweater. Asseriran Prisoners Appreciated Red Cross Relief American prisoners now in the big concentration camps a t Vichy say that the boxes of food sent them by the ' American Red Cross while they were in German custody practically saved them from starvation. Many of the American boys cherish those boxes as the most priceless souvenirs of their experiences. They are using them as lockers for their personal effects. Beware of German Propaganda Do you realize that Germany is still waging war on this country ? Do you know that a great many stories that are constantly coming to your ears are utterly untrue and products of German imagination and of deliberate evil Intent? ^ ,,.-i Please remember this when you hear stories that ring false, do one of two things—forget them, or—call up the Read of your Red Cross or the edi tor of your local newspaper and check them up. The refugee garments that the Red Cross is asking you to make consist of nefer pinafores, skirts, layettes or simi lar articles that have been cut out and are ready for you to sew. These gar ments are given to homeless women and children largely in France and Belgium whose homes have been re duced to ashes. If you were cold and hungry, had no home and your children were crying because they were starving, would you have time to sit down and sew? Think of this when you sit back comfortably drinking tea and listening to your ^neighbor saying, “Why don’t those refugees do their own sewing?” Think of this when you resume your bridge parties and say “Thank goodness, ths war’s over!” Go to Red Croaa Headquarters and aew or take garments home with you. Reconstruction Hospitals To improve the spirit and morale of our wounded and sick fighting men by providing such diversion and train ing as will contribute to their recov ery, and to keep the able-bodied per sonnel caring for them in a cheerful frame of mind are the objects of a co operative plan adopted by the Surgeon General of the Army and the Ameri can Red Cross. These recreational activities will be conducted in the forty reconstruction hospitals now be ing operated in the United States. The general direction of this under taking throughout the country has been given to Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, head of the Department of Recrea tional Leadership Teachers College.
