A missing button or one which is dangling mth uncertainty and shows signs of dropping from its designated position has caused many a sailor em­ barrassment and remorse at inspection time. One of the many aids offered to the men of the navy at Notre Dame and one which is aimed at preventing loose but­ tons is the sewing imit sponsored by the Eed Cross, and stationed in the Service Men's Center in South Bend. The unit boasts of volunteer workers who donate as much as five to six hours a day to sew on buttons and to do simple mending. All that they expect in return is a little consideration and a "thank you." A plan is now being devised to make it possible for service men, who have clothing which is in need of mending, to send these garments to the Red Cross Sewing Room. However, complete ar­ rangements are still lacking. The hint to service men at Notre Dame is, "If you can't sew, try out the Red Cross service, and don't show up for La Raza Panel Members—South American Boosters inspection with any buttons missing." 17 Coast Guardsmen Norris D.
