port the national nominees, Roose-
velt and Truman, and a pledge for full

Mrs. W. Hammend Moore, chairman
of the Red Cross Sewing Room, an-
nounces the arrival of more than one
hundred yards of oil silk material to
be made up into garments for wound-
ed World War II veterans at Ashburn
General Hospital.
The garments made of this mater-
ial will be coverings, or a sort of boot
to cover casts worn by numerous
wounded soldiers at the hospital.
Without protection for the casts these
men are unable to take a shower.
These coverings will .prove of invalu-
able aid to their comfort.
The sewing room is open on Tues-
day and Friday of each week. It is
an absolute necessity that they be
finishted as soon as possible.
