Officers' wives' sewing unit kas anniversary HARRIET ANN INGLES In a group of 70 officers' wives, the staff photographer caught, at one table, Mrs. W. C. Bausch (standing) and Mrs. R.

Anderson, Mrs. M. V. Chase, Mrs. A.

T. Johnson, Mrs. D. L. Metcalf, and Mrs.

Duncan (seated) and Mrs. Ralph Rankin, Mrs. C. J. Burtner, Mrs.

E. L. Joy (in front.) Showing the fighting spirit, with needle and thread, the Offi- cersV Wives Red Cross sewing unit has completed a busy first year. Started by a group of 15 wives of officers stationed at the Air Base, interest has grown until the unit today boasts 70 to 80 members who meet each Tuesday at St. Paul's Methodist church work rooms.

The sewing day begins at 10 o'clock and continues until an amazing amount of work being completed each week. Mrs. Early E. W. Duncan is general chairman of the unit; Mrs.

William C. Bausch, production chairman, and Mrs. James F. Workman, knitting In observing their first anniversary, the officers' wives are contemplating what has been accomplished and what can be done to accomplish even more. During the past year, the sewing group 1,162 new garments, including women's and children's dresses, blouses, nightgowns and coats, boys' shirts, and baby rompers, dresses and quilts.

This as well as miscellaneous sewing and finishing, and the group has knitted 26 sleeveless sweaters, 24 turtle neck sweaters, 7 pairs gloves, 24 pairs wristlets, 6 helmets and 24 mufflers, in a total of 11,821 hours. In addition, almost 3,000 hours have been given by the officers' wives to surgical dressings, and many of the officers' wives have participated in other forms of volunteer Red Cross work such as motor corps, staff assistance, and nurses' aide. Every inducement is offered the wives of officers to attend this group and join in the work that is being done. A day nursery is maintained in the church on Tuesdays so that the children can be cared for by a competent attendant while their mothers sew in the same building. Mrs.

Bausch keeps a list of names of dependable women and girls who stay with children, as an aid to the mothers of children too young to bring to the nursery. Those in charge feel that the sewing group pr.o- vides an 'excellent opportunity for the Wives, particularly the wives of officers recently assigned to the Base, to become better acquainted and urge that the newcomers join them. To make it easier for those who do not sew well, a production line system has been established, with an instructress and a stitcher at each table, so that those not expert at sewing have someone readily available to show them just what to do. Mrs, C. R.

Steward, wife of Colonel Steward, who until recently was Base surgeon, was in charge of the officers' wives' participation in surgical dressings. She has worked arduously and tirelessly, trying to en- list other officers' -wives to participate in this work. Admired because of her charming personality and appreciated by everyone because of her tireless efforts, Mrs. Steward's departure from Lincoln will be felt keenly by all those who knew her. At the sewing on last Tuesday, Mrs.

Steward was presented with a gift by the sewing unit as a farewell token of their esteem, as well as an indication of their appreciation of her efforts. and Forty Mr. Winnifred Henderson was hostess, at her home on Thursday evening to the members of the, 8 and 40. Mrs. John Aron and Mrs.
