SUGGESTED HOBBY CLUB
Necessity breeds invention and origunality, and the suggestion of forming a 'Hobby Club' as a means of replenishing and maintaining the stock in the local Red Cross Shop is one worthy of the fullest consideration. Here is a scheme to produce goods, vegetables, handwork and all kinds of useful appliances and decorations at no outlay whatsoever. An article elsewhere indicates how lit is proposed to enlist in the club men who by virtue of their various spare-time hobbies will undertake to send to the Red Cross Shop a guaranteed supply of saleable material throughout the year. Apart from the hundreds of amateur gardeners who should guarantee a steady supply of vegetables, seedlings and plants, there are carpenters, metal workers and other trades men who could co-operate in order to produce variety. Pic-ture;-fr?.ming, carving, matmaking and' dozens of other avenues present themselves. Our best wishes go to the Hobby Club which is definitely one of the best suggestions for assisting the Red Cross funds, put forward to date.
