Save Your Blue Bags
Dear Aunt Daisy, One morning while listening to your session, I heard you mention that the Red Cross needed white linen, When doing some washing later in the day, I noticed that I had five empty blue bags on the window-ledge, and I thought what a good idea if everyone saved these, for they could be. boiled with the clothes, and sent in. I don’t mean to send one at a time, of course, but in bundles. T think in nearly every house there is at least one bag of blue used each week, and the bags are usually thrown away. The size of them is what gave me the idea; I think they would be about the size of a swab, and if e--eryone sent them ir all nice and clean, they would only need sterilising to be ready for use. I am enclosing one of the blue bags already washed and

This is a splendid idea. I broadcast it one morning, and the Red Cross Office is
grateful for the response which it brought. We hope .hat by publishing the idea in "The Listener," many more of these useful squares of linen will be sent in. They measure 41/2 inches, and when washed and ironed look very nice indeed. If the blue is difficult to wash out at first, try steeping the bags for a while in tepid vinegar and water,
