D. C. Red Cross Keeps
Normal Schedule
Despite War Help
Workers Get Quota of
1,560 Articles for
Use in Capital
Despite its heavy production pro
gram for war relief aboard, the
District Chapter of the American
Red Cross is maintaining Its normal
schedule of services for the Dis
trict's own war veterans and its
other former service men, Brig.
Gen. F. R. Keefer, chapter chair
man, announced yesterday.
In line with its regular schedule.
Gen. Keefer said volunteer workers
have been assigned a quota of
1.660 articles to be produced this
summer and most of which will be
distributed at local Government
hospitals. Among the articles are
840 garments, such as bath robes,
knitted caps, bed jackets and other
wearing apparel both for former
service men and service women
themselves, and 720 baby garments
The latter are to be given to wives
of former service men who Red
Cross field directors see at the hos
pital clinics.
Last night the largest group ever
to enroll here in a Red Cross first
aid instructors’ course attended the
first of 10 classes to be given by
Dr. Bryce A. Newbaker, first aid and
life saving representative of the
American Red Cross, it was said at
chapter headquarters, more than
60 students who have just completed
preparatory instruction having en
rolled at the first meeting, in the
North Interior Building Auditorium.
According to Robert H. Duncan,
first aid and life saving director of
the District Chapter, the number
will be increased greatly with the
addition of students who completed
standard and advanced courses in
previous years.
The instructors’ course is de
signed to qualify 200 new’ volunteer
first aid teachers to meet increased
demands on the District Red Cross
first aid department, according to
Mr. Duncan. The course will be
concluded August 15, after which
those who completed the training
Will be called on to teach at least
two classes during the coming year.
Instruction will be given each night,
7:30 to 9:30 o'clock, for a 10-day
period.
