WHO WAS He?

The following narrative sent in
by an elderly woman whom a juni
or assisted speaks for itself.
We would like to know. About
three weeks ago on Friday evening,
as the shadows of night were be,
ginning to fall and lights TO show
in the windows an old lady was
coming east ON Main street, tired
and arm weary from carrying q
heavy basket and thinking to her
self, how can | carry this basket
four blocks farther. When between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets
she noticed a small boy walking
slowly and looking at her then
turned toward her and said some
thing at the same time reaching
for the basket. Thinking perhaps
he wanted to earn a few pennies
she gladly handed the basket to
him, telling him she was deaf and
had not heard what he was saying
He said MY grandmother is deaf
too and asked how far are you
going?' She named the grocery
where she wanted to stop two
blocks distant and get something
for the evening meal. AS she pos
sessed but four pennies beside a
bill, she asked the boy If he would
wait until she could get the bill
changed and she would pay him.
He said, II don't want any money"
She insisted he wait. Still hoping
to find him when she came out,
she looked up and down the street
and all around but could see no
boy. She wanted very much to
show her appreciation of his
and kindness; his
mother ought to be proud and very
thankful for such boy and prob
ably is and if he grows to manhood
with the same big kind heart of the
boy, the world will be a happier
world for this boy having lived.
Service always brings a JOY and
that money can never
buy not matter how much you
might be WORTH in dollars. This
old lady hopes this little boy will
read this message In the Junior
Palladium and know how greatful
she felt for his help, just to know
that even a little boy cared to-
tighten her burden caused her load
to seem lighter and the distance
home shorter. Many, many thanks,
little boy, whoever you are, and we
will try to pass your kindness on.
The Lady Whom He Helped.

JUNIORS MAY SELL
CHRISTMAS SEALS

Putting into practice their mot
to. II serve" members OF the
Junior Red Cross will have the OPP
portunity to take part in the coun-
TVS sale of Red Cross Christmas
seals. Miss Payne will distribute
these stamps to the schools and if
the children wish, and it will be en-
tirely voluntary, they may take
some of them to sell to their par
ents and older brothers and sis
ters and relatives, that is,-to some
one they know and not to sell them
on the streets.
All of the money secured from
the sale of these stamps will be
used to help make people well who
are sick with tuberculosis and to
make people so well that they do
not need to fear the danger of any
serious disease. One way to help
people to be well is to give them
plenty of milk. Six hundred dol
lars will pay for all the milk lunch
es needed in Richmond. If each
of the 5000 children who, in the
schools, are members of the Junior
Red Cross, could dispose of only
$.12 worth OF the Christmas stamps,
this milk lunch will be paid for.
1t is hoped that many juniors will
wish 10 take part in this campaign.
