Show WOMEN'S SEWING GROUPS BEGIN RED CROSS WORK Because sewing machines were not available and rooms being prepared at the Civic Center were not ready for use, the Red Cross sewing class which was to have begun Tuesday at 8 a. m. was not held. It is announced by Miss Vera Hellstrom of Sandy, who will supervise the Red Cross sewing groups and will direct WPA ana Jordan school district sponsored sewing classes, that women interested in-terested in the Red Cross group should meet next Tuesday, August 5, at 9:00 a. m. on the lower floor of the Civic Center. Materials for the articles to be made for the Red Cross will be brought to the class members from county headquarters by Mrs. W. H. Trevarthen, chairman of the Red Cross in Bingham, and Mrs. Mike Brisk, American Legion auxiliary sewing chairman chair-man for the Red Cross. Women's organizations are being be-ing contacted this week, with request re-quest that each group appoint a member on the community Red Cross sewing committee. This representative committee is to direct sewing periods, which will probably be held four days a week after the sewing groups become fully organized. The personal sewing groups instructed . by Mrs. Hellstrom which are held Wednesday morning and afternoon of each week at the Civic Center are open to the public. A large number of local women wo-men went to the Center to enroll en-roll for classwork Wednesday and were reported enthusiastic at the opportunity for expert help and instruction. The classes are free and open to all, through sponsorship of Jordan school district and the WPA. |
