MITCHELL HALL—3rd BATTALION 1st & 2nd Floor—Company "F” 3rd & 4th Floor—Company “G” Office and Headquarters for Companies During the work week ending June 16, the Brazos County women volunteering for surgical dressing making showed a very gratifying increase both in the number re porting and in the number of dress ings made, but still more workers and longer work periods are need ed if the June-July quota is to be met, according to Mrs. Betty How ard, county surgical dressing chairman. Surgical dressing quotas are as signed each county on a popula tion basis and the assignment for Brazos county calls for 45,000 4x4- inch and 7,200 4x8-inch dressings or sponges to be completed by July 31, Mrs. Howard said. * The making of surgical dress ings is the responsibility of Amer ican women, - given them by the War Department, through the Red Cross. It is their contribution to the war effort and is just as im portant in the overall picture as any other phase of service or work. With this responsibility, and the added danger of the closing of the work rooms at College Station and Bryan, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. R. S. Hopkins, Jr., chairman of the Col lege Station room, and Mrs. F. H. Wilson, chairman of the Bryan room, appealed at the beginning of the second week’s work on the current quota for a larger turnout and longer work periods. A compilation shows an increase of nearly 250 percent in the num ber of workers in the two rooms and a production increase of near ly 400 percent, Mrs. Howard said. During the week ending June 9, only 123 individual women report ed to the two work rooms, where as during the week ending June 16 there were 299 women making surgical dressings. The number of dressings made showed an increase for the period of from 4,243 the first week to 12,047 the second week. This makes a total of 16,290 4x4’s made, and 28,710 4x4’s yet to be made, as well as the 7,200 4x8’s. As many as 1,000 surgical dress ings are sometimes used in treat ing one seriously wounded man, and the country-wide goal is 100,- 000,000 monthly. —ELECTIONS— (Continued from page 1) junior yell leaders but the Student Elections Committee found that none of the men petitioned for were eligible for the position.
