This is where the socks are mended. Bureau of refugees, Toure. (See number 7676) In an old monastery building adjacent to the Great Cathedral at Toure, a group of refugee women under the auspices of the AMERICAN RED CROSS, are coming to their work of mending socks for the American soldiers. This is part of the great salvage work, that is making socks, sweaters, etc. that have been worn as good as new, while at the same time the women are enabled to support themselves. In this one group, a quarter of a million socks and 150,000 other garments have been mended in two months and nearly 70,000 francs have been earned by the women. Their earnings average five to six francs a day
