seeker NOT to find some part suited
to her peculiar needs. That’s the
trouble—too many of us are waiting
to find something that would not
incrfere with our present plans.
Mrs. Scarborough has plenty of
yarn, both for sweaters and socks. If
you don’t care about knitting for the
soldiers, do it because it is “the smart
thing” to do. A pair of socks will
"grow” if you only do it while you
are sitting in the drug store sipping
Coca Colas, or are “milling around
town” in you car—you will feel you
have done a little bit anyway.
There is now a plentiful suppy of
gause—enough to make thousands
of the many millions that are needed
—could we get workers to do it? We
have dozens of hospittal bed-shirts—
and workei's are few.
It is proposed to devote a space in
the paper every day, for a few days,
or as long as material to fill it comes
to us, to some of the excuses heard
for not working.

yet, nor has ths woman tried it.)
There is too much “fussing up there
for me.”—(The dog who takes the
bone will bring one.)
I knit sometimes when it isn’t too
hot, or too cool, and when it’s con
venient, perhaps, but sewing and sur
gical dressings make me nervous.—
(Well, why not come and stamp la
bels ? There are thousands of them
to stamp and you can take them off
under your own nice cool electric fan
to do; we can’t.)
It’s just too hot for me to go and
work.—(It is, but the work is needed
badly.)
I would go, but I just don’t like the
women in charge of it. I don’t want
anybody telling me what to do; I
you? Well, why don’t you prove it?
can sew as good as anybody.—(Can
you? Well, why don’t you prove it?
You are not required to like the wo
men in charge, but if you only love
your neighbor as yourself—even a
little bit—it wouldn’t make any dif
ference to you what you liked; it
would be simply a question of “What
can I do?”
I’ve got a full job taking care of my
