On September 3, 1941, the volunteers in the Red Cross Sewing room are busy knitting, crocheting and sewing clothes for the European victims of war. The production room, at 721 Commerce St., is buzzing with activity as thousands of garments are being made by the Pierce County Chapter. Volunteers are putting in hundreds of hours in an attempt to reach their January 1, 1942 quota. A plea went out for more volunteers. Pictured are, back row left to right, Mesdames A.W. Paulson, O.R.
