HEREFORDSHIRE BRANCH BRITISH RED CROSS SOCIETY . MORE WORKERS AND MORE MONEY WANTED . The repout of the Herefordshire branch of the British Red Cross Society for 1916 is a remarkable record of good work achieved and is a tribute to the energy and devotion of the whole of its members , from the county officers to the individual V.A.D. workers . In repro- ducing extracts , which are of more immediate interest to this locality , we would point out that more candidates are urgently required for The classes to qualify as V.A.D. members . Detachments are much in want of more mem- bers , but none should join a class unless they mean to work when qualified . Members are also required for Hereford No. 1 Transport . In the course of their report the Committee state that in the near future there is every symptom of even greater exertion being needed in every way , at least another hundred beds in the County are asked for by the Authorities , these will require more trained Members , and it is most necessary that more Candidates should com eforward to qualify with a view to serv- ing in V.A.D.'s . It is felt that classes should not be formed unless the Candidates are will- ing to serve in V.A.D.'s . More men are very much wanted for No. 1 V.A.D. The extremely useful and necessary work of transport , & c . , has been most ably carried out by the Detach- It is ment , but many have had to leave . absolutely essential that the strength should be kept up , and it is much hoped that recruits . will at once come forward . The extra patients will also entail larger expenditure , and every effort must be made to carry on the extra work as in the True Economy It is to your advantage to place your orders for clothes well ahead of your require- ments . 3 REASONS . I. Prices are advancing rapidly , not only of Cloth but of Linings and the many sundries used in the making of Clothes . II . Owing to the high prices and scarcity of pure Botany Wool Yarns , manufacturers adulterating their products with lower grade wools and mixtures - therefore new goods although more expensive are inferior . are III . Labour being scarce makes it difficult to cope with orders in the busy season so promptly as usual , obviously , early orders secure best attention . False Economy It will be to your disadvantage to put off the ordering of your Clothing necessi- ties with the idea of their being cheaper . Experts estimate that woollen goods will continue to rise in price , owing to the shortage of wool , caused by the immense in the same satisfactory manner past . Such a result can only be obtained by the loyal co - operation of all in the county , and this the Committee have every confidence will be given . JOINT The Committee feel they cannot quantities , required to clothe the Allied close their report without recording their deep Armies ( Russia placed ONE order tor 19 regret at the death of Dr. Sinclair , who most million yards of cloth ) . They will not kindly gave organ recitals , which were very much appreliated , and the proceeds of which be any cheaper for 3 to 4 years after were of great help to the County Fund . The peace is declared . Half the mills are on Committee have again made a small grant to the British and Foreign Bible Society for a Government work , of the remainder many looms are idle owing to lack of labour , and woollens for export are given priority to those for home use .
