2. were now related to the war effort, such as "Be Careful of What You Are Saying", Let Nothing be Wasted, Women In Industry and Women's Line of Defence* To enliven the task of knitting socks a knitting contest was organized in September 1917. Mrs. Albert Anderson and Mrs. David Valentine were the caotains. There were thirteen members on each team, however, each lady was allowed to ask for help from non-members. Here are the directions for the socks which were knitted: 21 stitches on each needle in leg, 1st finger length ribbed 2 and 1 then plain. Length of leg to end of heel 3 finger lengths. 19 stitches on each needle in foot and 2-3/4 fingers long. In 1917 at the October meeting the ladies took a bold stand and passed the following resolve - That we are ready to sign the Food Service Cards when and as soon as the Food Controller forbids the use of two hundred million pounds of food stuffs (grain, molasses and sugar) which were last year worse than wasted in the manufacture of liquors? and when the Government of Great Britain where the brewers recently paid largely increased dividends on their stock also makes it illegal for one hundred thousand tons of grain per month and enough sugar to supply the army to be similarly destroyed. We respect consistency and common sense and we submit that it is an irony to urge us to further self-sacrifice in the fact of these extravagant and preposterous methods of helping the Hun. A Halloween Box Social netted $23.80 in October to raise funds for overseas Xmas treats. Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Edgar collected cash from villagers, thus sixty-three boxes were packed, each one containing 2 pairs of socks, cake, candy and gum. The knitting contest was probably very worthwhile, as forty-four extra pairs of socks were posted to Friends of France and Friends of Belgium. A bale of 14 pillows, 14 pillow cases and four quilts were sent to the Red Cross. Thus the splendid efforts of the Sundridge W.I. continued, knitting, sewing, quilting, baking and fund-raising. The money raised for patriotic work in 1918 amounted to $443.43. Boxes were sent overseas in November and March of 1918. After Armistice had been signed November 11, 1918 the W.I. still continued their war effort. At the Dec. 13 meeting, 1918, it was decided that a banquet be given for returned soldiers, after a certain number had arrived home. Mrs. Edgar was the convener of the committee which consisted of mothers of soldiers.
