The Rockland Red Cross is playing a great part locally in fighting the influenza epidemic. Women have been busy making gas masks, dish towels, holders, bed socks, stockings, and other articles for which there is great need in the afflicted homes.
Young women go into the homes where sickness has prostrated the inmates and busy themselves washing dishes, cleaning the house, and doing many services for the sick. Similar work by these helpful young women is done also at the Knox Hospital. Through the Home Service department, soup and bread is furnished the sick in their homes.
