With this message mes-sage from the soldier's sol-dier's Red Cross chapter verifying the illness, the field director called on the commanding officer who arranged ar-ranged an emergency furlough. While a courier sped up the line to fetch the soldier, the Red Cross man was busy arranging trans- PWiSin a few hours the boy was at the Red Cross field office where furlough papers and a ticket awaited await-ed him. The field director drove him to the airport, and the boy arrived ar-rived home in time-not to see his mother die, but to save her life with a blood transfusion. Today, almost seven months after V-J Day, some 17,000 Red Cross workers are still with the GIs at home and abroad.

It would be the first meeting in two years, he told the Red Cross girl who was teaching him rummy with Braille cards. "My little girl knows I'm blind and she's planning how she'll do things for me," he said. But what she did not know, what had been kept from him so that it mierht not retard his readjustment, was the way he was scarred and disfigured. The Red Cross girl caught her breath. "That's fine," she said. "I'll meet them at the train." Her heart sank upon seeing the tinv eirl. It would be a job to pre pare her for the shock, to make sure she did not let her father suspect sus-pect there was anything wrong. Gently she told the child about her daddy's face, how it would get better, how much he loved her, and that she mustn't be afraid. Then, with a prayer in her heart, she led mother and child to where the blinded soldier waited. The crucial moment had come. Now, upon the actions of a little girl, the future of this family would depend. For a moment the tot stood m the doorway, looking at her father across the room. Then, without hesitation, came the patter of little feet, and she threw her arms around her father's neck. "Daddy," she cried, "Daddy, it's me we're so glad to have you back!" A simple service, yes. But it determined de-termined the happiness of three people. Without the understanding heart, and the many who daily give nf thpir minds and souls, the ad justment of thousands of service men might be seriously retarded. The American Red Cross needs $100,000,000 to carry on during the next fiscal year. Because farm families have a big stake in the Red Cross they consistently consis-tently support the organization. The Red Cross is confident that families in agricultural areas, the backbone of the nation, will generously gener-ously support the 1946 Fund Campaign. Of MARY CRANE emptied the last tub and stood it against the shed to drain, sighing her thanks that if she must wash clothes on Christmas Day the job was at least over and done with by noon. She had just returned to the kitchen when a knock came at the door. It was her neighbor, Hattie Jamie-son, Jamie-son, decked out in her finest "Aren't you the one," Hattie ex. claimed, "washing clothes on Christmas Day!" Mary conceded it wasn't the best way to pass the day, but added tha. it must be done. "I wonder if you'd do me a favor?" fa-vor?" Hattie asked. "John and Fanny have asked us to come to town for Christmas dinner and the tree tonight. You know, times were a little tough for Henry and me this year, so I took those two little State orphans to board. Now, I don't want to leave them at home alone, and Fanny wouldn't want them to come mingle with her youngsters." She sighed faintly. "Would you let them come stay with you for the evening?" "Why, of course," Mary replied, smiling. "It will make Christmas for me, who was spendin' it alone. What time will they come?" "Fanny's sending the car for us about five o'clock, and we'll drop them off here on the way." After Hattie had left Mary mused that she didn't suppose the Lord thought Fanny's children too good to mingle with these two orphans, but after a moment she realized there was much to be done. By five o'clock she had walked to the store and spent her few pennies on two tiny pair of red mittens, which were now hanging on the little spruce tree Mary had cut in the back yard. And in the kitchen a hot, hearty supper was waiting. Mary sat in the living room, waiting. wait-ing. "Lucky I did that extra washing wash-ing today, so I feel justified spending spend-ing those pennies on the youngsters. Those children must have a Christmas, Christ-mas, and maybe" she sighed "I shan't have a home another year!" Waiting there in the old rocker, her head dropped slowly, and Mary Crane fell asleep. ... "One thing I'd like to do before dinner," rich old Andrew Craig said to his wife. "S'pose there's time? You remember Mary Crane had some tough luck a few years back. She borrowed money from the bank on her house and couldn't keep up the payments. Well, the directors decided not .to give her any more time. "All tall and bright and and beautiful." "I couldn't help remembering our lean years. Sue, when Mary was our neighbor and worked day and night to pull you through pneumonia. So I just gathered in that debt-it debt-it was only a few hundreds and had some papers made out to Mary. I'd kind of like to take them out to her on Christmas night." Sue pulled his head down and kissed him. "It will take just 10 minutes to pack a basket for you to take along," she reckoned swiftly. swift-ly. "If you drive there and back in half an hour, you can do it Remember, Re-member, we have guests coming!" It was snowing when Andrew alighted from the car. A lamp showed him Mary's kitchen through the window, the cheery tree, and the sleeping old lady. He tip-toed in and placed his basket on the table, papers on top. The latching of the door aroused Mary. Her small guests rushed in a few minutes later to find Mary holding the papers to her heart, her face alight with joy. "Merry Christmas, Mary," cried the little girL "There was a man on your steps when we came down the lane. We saw him plain as could be!" "You're right," said Mary. "Andrew "An-drew Craig is a man, if ever there was one." "Not the man in the fur coat" insisted the child. "It was another Just behind him. All tall and bright and and beautiful." !
