The Red Cross man discovered a very worried boy. His wife had not been receiving his allotments, she wasn't well and needed an operation. 8he thought the soldier must have cancelled his allot ments and a misunderstanding had arisen between them so that she was no longer writing him. The Held man got In touch with the Red Cross cbspter In tbe boy's home town Immediately. It took care of her. financed her operation and saw that 1 ?he had adequate fundi to provide for herself until the allotment again came j through.
