Knitting bags, balls of yarn and knitting knit-ting needles were in evidence in the board room of the canitol yesterday evening, after the close of the state council of de-' de-' fense meeting. Needless to say. these, "tools" and supplies sup-plies were accompanied by women owners, own-ers, who at once began to ply their needles rapidlv and deftly, knitting things for the soldiers on the battlefields and in the mobilization and training camps. There was, necessarily, some talk that goes along with knitting but conversation conversa-tion did not hinder the work of the patriotic patri-otic young women of the capitol offices, who have formed a Red Cross unit at the state house. Regular knitting meetings are held after the office work Is done, and the young women are doing good service to the natloi as an extra "bit" over their daily duties in helping to guide the ship of slate. It is announced that John W. Morey, general manager of the Rocky Mountain division of the Red Cross, and Henry Swann, director of the bureau of development, devel-opment, will reach Salt Lake December 6 on a trip of inspection. |
