The Board of Managers of Cordova

Repeated inquiries have been re

been endeavoring to get some inform

but up to this time have not heard
and the Board has instructed the Sec

Headquarters in regard to this mat
ter.
We also wish to state that Katalla
Branch has returned $48.75 as a dona
tion.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF MANAGERS, CORDOVA
CHAPTER.
There has been much activity dur
ing tjie past month among the work
ers of the local chapter of the Red
Cross in the knitting, the sewing and
the making of surgical dressings and
which to me is quite essential as bul
let making.
The output for the month of April
j is as follows: Guild Auxiliary—3
sweaters; 1 pair sacks; 2 pair wrist
lets; 2 pair pajamas; 4 bodshirts; 24
| pairs operating leggings.
Star of East—4 sweaters; 26 pairs
of socks; 4 pair wristlets; 2 pair pa
| jamas. independent makers—14
'sweaters; 27 pairs socks; 2 pairs
pajamas. Total 21 sweaters; 50 pairs
socks; 6 pair wristlets; 2 pair muff
lers; 6 pairs pajamas; 4 bedshirts
and 24 pairs operating leggings.
Eighteen hundred yards of gauze
was used in the making of surgical
dressings. This work is being done
by members of the auxiliaries and
those not affiliating with same. This
work was retarded on account of the
impossibility to reach headquarters
for five days during the inclement
weather.
On April 16th. via S. S. Alaska
j there was shipped to Bureau of Sup
plies in Seattle 20 sweaters; 48 pairs
I of socks; 6 pairs wristlets; 4 muff
lers. Also 3780 surgical dressings.
On April 30, there were boxed and
ready for shipment 2000 surgical
dressings 9x9; 34 suits outing flannel
pajamas; 24 pairs operating leggings;
9 pairs flannel bed-socks; 4 muslin
bedshirts. This shipment went for
ward on “The Alameda.”
Afril 20, 1 sent to Mile 49, C. R. *
N. ’.V. R. R., a sweater to replace the
fie damaged in transit.
Finished work on hand May.- 37
pairs knitted socks, 3 pairs knitted
wristlets, 9 knitted sweaters, 400 sur
gical dressing 9x9.
Cut and ready for wo»k May. 20
muslin operating gowns.
Garments in woik and about com
pleted: 16 infant layettes. Each lay
ette consisting of 2 dresses; 1 jacket:
6 brassieres; 1 cape and hood; 2
pairs bootees; 2 blankets; 3 flannel
binders; 12 squares; 3 undershirts;
1 bonnet and a bag of sundries.
Needles sold during the month of
April to the amount of $2.10; said
money turned over to the secretary.
A story is being circulated to the
by the Cordova Chapter, have been re
jected in Seattle and returned. This
is emphatically not true. No articles
whatever, knitted or otherwise, made
by the Cordova Chapter, has been re
turned and this statement is evident
ly the work of a person hostile to
the Red Cross. A lettdr received from
the inspector of knitting in Seattle
in the last mail, will substantiate my
statement, also one from the super
intendent of surgical dressings. Both
letters herewith attached.
Our chapter has been given an al
lotment for hospital garments for the
coming month, consisting of one box
of operating masks and one of under
drawers and undershirts. (French
make.) Also our allotment for knit
ted goods to be made during the three
months from April 20 to July 20, 1918,
consisting of socks, sweaters and
wristlets. I have accepted both allot
ments.
We still have gauze on hand and
more ordered. We are still making
the surgical dresings in the same way
and have received no information
to the contrary. Communication re
ceived from Seattle on last boat in
forms us that the Northwestern Divi
sion (of which Cordova Chapter is a
part) is promptly forwarding to
France all hospital supplies and sur
gical dressings and delay in ship
ment from the chapter means delay
in the arrival of these materials at
the front.
A night class has been started on
Wednesday evening for those who
cannot attend during the afternoon
and has been successful in every way.
The Cordova Chapter receives all
instructions direct from Seattle; in
turn these instructions are given out
by those in charge at the Cordova
headquarters. Do not repeat hear
say, it only retards our work.
We want more workers. The wo
men must come and sew and knit
and make surgical dressings, other
wise somebody else is fighting their
war.

Chairman Military Relief.
