Human Interest in Red Cross

hospitals and refugee enterprises
throughout the whole peninsula and
Sicily, has discovered in Canicattini
|Pagni an American woman, DIR. L. NJ.
Alheri, who is struggling with this
problem. She opened a little hospital
and distributed garments and food.
The Red Cross has sent q trained
nurse OF help her and If some enter
prising shoe maker would turn up to
give the refugees q chance to earn a
living, the problems of Canicattini
Pagni would be nearly solved.
How long could your ~youngster live
on q piece of dry bread and an orange
twice a day?
That is the ration on which six hun
bred children of italian soldiers have
been fed at the Ricreatorio, a place
maintained by the Alleanze Feminile,
or Women's Alliance, In Palermo, Sic
lily, to take care of soldiers children
from three to ten years old during
the day time while their mothers are
working.
That is what the children were eat
ing before the Red Cross representa-
tive visited Palermo and increased the
funds Of the Alliance SO that at least
a bowl of soup could be added to
each child's meal. The Red Cross
built a kitchen where the soup could
be cooked. and in addition gave fifty
thousand lire toward housing some of
the nine thousand refugees in west
ern Sicily and sixty thousand lire more
to aid h wives of soldiers.
1t is a heavy task for Sicily, poor
enough at best. to care for it's twtnty-
two thousand refugees as we'll as the
families of its own soldiers's children,
OF whom there are 1000 in Palermo
alone.
Naturally the aid of the Red Cross
has been received with great graft
tude and the little black-eyed young
sters who stream into the Red Cross
dispensaries with their mothers to get
the milk, rice and meat which are dis
tributed, have already learned to look
upon America as q mysterious but
wonderful big brother.

Facts From Europe
That Tell of the
Big Game

Borrowing from the rich to aid the
poor used to be a favorite amusement
or the merry men of England, but
Sister Etienne, q Sister of Charity In
the 18th Ward of aPris, has reduced
the process to a science.
Sister Etienne works in one of the
worrfest quarters of Paris, where you
find families of six or seven or even
nine people living in dark sheds. There
are charitable Institutions there, but
they cannot cope with the misery.
So h begins her day by greeting
a procession of women and children
who come to her tiny shop from
the wretched novels about her to tell
her their troubles. She has been CIV
ing them medicine and food when she
could get 1t. After sending them
away with what help she can give, she
spends the rest of the day visiting
them to carry out prescriptions and
take them the help which she begs
from richer doors.
1t was the lack of food that hurt
the most, and now the Red Cross has
made Sister Etienne happy and her
neighbors grateful by helping her to
open a little diet kitchen In a small.
oo~nfectioner's shop in the rue Pierre
Larousse. The chef at a nearby hos
pital volunteered to help the cook, SO
that the women and children who call
hopefully every morning can now get
a fine, steaming, wholesome meal to
carry back to the sick folks at home.
The remote little village of Cant
cattini Pagni in the interior OF Sicily
seems q queer place for q shop fac
tory, especially n belonging TO
American manufacturers, but there Is
a factory Of workers just waiting there
who would be glad enough II some-
body from Massachusetts, should turn
up and shatter the soft italian air with
a daily factory whistle.
The Sioilians are mostly farnners
and mostly poor, but since the Ger
mans drove into Italy, refugees from
the north, accustomed TO work In fac
tories and little adapted to filling the
nelds, have poured down into the little
sicilian villages where their presence
creates a serious problem.
