KNITTING DEPARTMENT. NASHVILLE CHAPTER. A. R. C. MRS. RUFUS E. FORT and MRS. KINNARD T. MCCONNICO. Chairmen
Knitting by the Nashville Chapter. A. R. C .. began when a cablegram from Major Grayson Murphy. Chief of the Red Cross War Council. in France. of the American Red Cross. was received at National Headquarters, which read: "Begin shipping at once one and a half million each of knitted mufflers. sweaters. socks and wristlets. I urge you on behalf of our soldiers and those of our Allies who suffer in the frozen trenches."
The response to this appeal was instantaneous in Nashville and Davidson County. Hundreds of women came daily to the Knitting Department of the Nashville Chap- ter. and were given the wool and the directions for the garments they desired to make. Records were kept at the Nashville Chapter Headquarters, showing that as many as eight hundred and ten hanks of wool were issued by its knitting depart- ment in one day. The pledge cards for this department were indexed and filed so that when the garments were returned they could be credited to the individual or unit who had taken wool out.
Owing to the distressing condition of the Tennessee boys in the Southern army camp -. special permission was given to the Nashville Chapter to make shipments to the Red Cross Field Directors at Camp Jackson. S. C., at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga .. and at Camp Sevier. S. C.
Forty-live sweaters and scarfs and ninety pairs of socks were presented to the Vanderbilt Unit by the Nashville Red Cross Knitting Department on the eve of this unit's sailing for oversea- duty.
It has been estimated by experts that the value of the garment knitted is three times that of the wool. According to this valuation the garments knitted by the Nashville Chapter of the Red Cross would aggregate approximately $60,000. The Nashville Chapter's Knitting Department had the distinction of making the first
