Many of oar i isiiri will be inter- {
eetod to know that the baby found
Htr Elkin on February It U grow
Inc u4 thriving u all Mtiqr babica
should, and whan seen by Welfare
Officer Arm field laat week, (few
weoki aftor bates found on Um road
side) Um little gM bad gained « 1-S
pounds. Two days after being found
the baby was placed la the boose of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. 80Mars, of Elkin,
and H is their purpose at scase later
data to legally adept bar.
Mr. and Mra. Season are middle
aged well-to-do people and bare no
children of thsit awn, and tbeee In
authority consider It nn Ideal boose
for the little rtrt, whom they hare
named Doris Fays Homers, and sent
eat announcements of her arrival to
their friends. v
An old provarb says "all the world
loves a lovsr;" h most be equally
trae that all the civilised world loans
a hoasalooo waif, for Mr. Annfletd
tells as that he had applications from
three eta tea and Ave or sis eoantiee
in ear own state from people why
wanted to fire the infant girl a
home. One application came from
Pine Grove, Georgia, and some from
nearer-by point* in Virginia. Then
there wns a telephone cull from
Greensbro, and one couple drovt In
to Elkin hoping to be nble to take the
baby home with them. The offers of
homes wars net confined to people
who ere childless, but several couple*
with three or more children still had
roam in their henrts and homes for
the poor little-dooertod baby. Truly
It la a beautiful thought that for one
mother and fnther who will deeert
their offspring there are dosens of
others who will not only shelter and
care for their earn but will give their
beat effort and ^ind their hnid
enrned money to provide for a little
helpleee child of whom they know
nothing except Ms needs.
The baby's foster mother told the
welfare oOcer that she wa« afraid
the little girl wns going to he red
bended. hnne»oi she weald njt give
her up even if she did hope H would
not be red.
