A heavy cold caught during the trip home and cold, dump and malnutrition were speeding li.u toward the grave, aiding the ravage; of tuberculosis. Ignorant of the impending ttaged; . three young children and a bab> had only a sack of coffee and so: i coin between th'em and starvation. Ihe husband could do nothing save .le on a ragged blanket all day and v.tt.'h the sunbeams pluy about the peak.- of his beloved mountains. The i»'' est humai«; were at the \ illage store, five miles across the mountains. Not even the mail man came UJ>NOC the family. The mountain mind has a certain grand Simplicity ulino»t unknown in this day when everything lias its price. It never occurred to the ex-service man to ask hii> government for as sistance. His country had ualled liini in time of need and he had gone. Comrades had given their ail in the trenches and on the sea. He was making the filial sacrifice at home. Il> the end it was all the same. A bit bard on his mountain mate and the kids. But women and children al ways had the worst of it in war. Thu.> he reflected through the long days and nights as he lay on the shabby blank et by the cabin door. But news travels, even in the tiiiniy popualted mountain cuuuti v. The tale of the family's plight came eventually to a lied Cross worker in a town nearly a score of milet away. She promptly saddled a horse, loaded the saddle bags with flour, fruits, vegctu bles and rode over the mountains" to the humble cabin which was home to the man and his family. Holding the tiny skeleton of .nialiiu trition in her arms, the troubleworn wife met the Red Cross workei at the door. The other children were too weak to rise and greet the newcomer, the first visitor sir.ee their daddy had come back from overseas. Only the dying husband mustered a smile be cause of the Red Cross on her uni form, which he had learned to recog iiize through the weary trials of the war. The lied Cross worker spent the night, soothing and ministering to the patient. The cluldveji were given a wholesome meal, their first in days and weeks. She comforted the worried and heart sick little wife and lent her -money for groceries. She learned that the man had filed no claim for compensation. He did not know he rated it, he panted—But he was right glad, on account of bis wife. The next morning the worker rode back along the mountain trail to j send the claim papers ,4ie. had filled out for Washington. They went inTl eventually compensation came back. Sixteen hundred and fifty dollars back pay for total disability.. But it came too late. The hum ble mountaineer who had given his all cheerfully for his country was resting in fifteen feet of mountain earth. The gentle ministrations of the Red Cross worker had only the way a lit tle easier. Back went the check, for not even the government can pay out money to the dead. But the Red Cross wa snot through. A home was found for the three older children while mother and baby were sent to a hospital for a few weeks. The worker then found a job for her, „ which she could earn enough to support herself and baby. This was but one of more than 160400 in which wives and children of ex-service men, and men themselves M course, were aided by the Bed Crosp through its chapters in ths southern division during the fust '*even months of LF)22. MDIIJ iiveshnve been put back on t,he rigid track by timely 'assistance , from th "Greatest Mother." r ~~ In the hospitals of the veteran*' bu reau scattered through- the eight states comprising the southern divis ion, Florida, Alabama, Geeorgia, Lou isiana, Mississippi, Soutl Carolina there are sevejral thousand of disable ex-service im>n wliose mo notonous lives ~of~]Jsin sre bVightened bjr Red Cross medical worllers and their activities. Nearly $2(w,000 if beinp spent this year by the can Red Cross in veterans' hospital' of the south for the comfort* of the their families. The need of this fund is clearlv to be seen. A man's wife may conn to the hospital to see him, having n money fo rtlie return journey Some times she has no meaens to pay hei I expenses while in the hospital town Here is where the Red Cross step in with its medical sor:;:! /"vice. Tin. government authorities at the hospi tal cannot miike a loan to the manV family. The Med Cross can and doer taking the mifn's note without inter est, of course, to be repaid from hi compensation check. Thus suffering and humiliation to the ma nand his wife are averted. This work must' go on. Not only in the mountains, but in the little settlements back from he railroads of your and my southland are families of men ,and men themselves who were disabled in the service, who need the treatment and who are rightfully en titled to compensation from he gov j eminent. The Red Cross has been . commissioned by the government to I earn on this work. Why School Teaeehers Go Crn/y m (Answers on examination papers) ] I'oise is the way a Dutchman says boys.
