It should, however, be recognized that the existence of this reserve of finished garments is entirely justifiable in view of the possibility that the Red Cross might be suddenly confronted with great and urgent demands for such relief supplies, which could not other-

wise be met.”

Production workers are urged to continue to serve by expanding production for Army and Navy hospitals to build up reserve stocks; by production for local civilian hospitals; by making garments for home service, including renovating of used clothing; for forming sewing units to mend for service men; by production of curtains and other equipment for use in camp recreation and day rooms.
