ArmstrongOn the top floor of a large city store, three hundred women work each week turning waste paper into hospital equipment made of papier mache. This work is one of the most progressive of the war activities in Sydney, and the founder and organiser is Miss L. E. Armstrong. Her interest in papier mache dates back to the last war when she was attached to the 6th Australian (Auxiliary) Hospital in England and she came across the work being done at the Kensington War Depot. She equipped a treatment room at the hospital with papier mache equipment made at the depot. Miss Armstrong was the inventor of the Armstrong sling, a sling for broken arms which puts all the weight on the shoulders, rather than on the neck. This sling was used in hospitals throughout England.
