REAL JUNIOR SERVICE

In speaking of Littleton. New Ham
phire, one invariably thinks of it as
the Gateway to the White Noun
tains," a town noted for its scenic
beauty and the charm of its old New
England houses. In addition to this,
however, Littleton is the trade CEN
ter for considerable district as well
as being the principal manufacture
ing town in that part of New Hamp-
shire. If the watchword of the older
people in this busy place is "Produc-
ton the boys and girls are learning
the meaning and value of Service"
for in the ten SCHOOLS enrolled in the
Junior Red Cross there are SS7 men,
bers.
At Christmas time the pupils in
the Kilburn School, through the Jun
Tor Red Cross, sent a box of toys to
the Manual Training School at Rich
aims to encourage in its colored pupils
a deeper interest in home life and the
farm as well as to teach the rudi-
ments of English education. There
are about 300 students in this school.
The following extract from a let
ter written by the chairman of the
Junior Red Cross tells the story of
service rendered by the Littleton
Juniors in their own community:
"The eighth grade Of the Kilburn
school decided to omit their Christ
mas celebration at school and give
the money to me to buy nice toy
or skates for some deserving child.
There was a great deal of discussion
on the subject and I was invited to
hear all about the plan. I told them
of one of my patients, a little girl
ill with infantile PARALYSIS. They at
once decided they wished her to have
the present. I suggested that the
eight grade council purchase the gift
and told them that the little girls
dearest wish was to have doll Of her
very. own So they selected very
pretty doll which was exhibited at the
Christmas party the teacher gave for
her pupils at the Community House. "
Now these same Juniors are anX-
ious to begin foreign correspondence
and have asked to be paired with a
school in Switzerland, China or South
Africa, showing a wide range of in
terest in world affairs.

MAKING THE HEARTS GLAD

There are several hundred schools
in the United States whose pupils
are exchanging letters with the chill
dren in foreign schools. This work
us being carried on under the super
vision of the Junior Red Cross A
letter written bl Eighth Grade girls
of Brayton Grammar School in Sum-
nit, N. j., shows the sort Of inter-
national friendships which are being
formed in this way. 1t reads: (,
"Dear Friends Whose Faces We
Cannot See:
"There was once a group Of girls
seeking friends. One day they met
great mother who has thousands of
children in every country. She took
these girls by the hand and reaching
across the ocean, Joined theirs with
the hands Of some other girls in
Czechosfovakia, making the hearts of
both glad. Are you not happy that
our great mother, the Red GROSS, has
done this for US? We are, and hope
our friendship with you may grow.
We have never seen your faces, or
heard your voices. How we would
like to touch your hands in friend
ship and really see and hear you. BTi
although we are prevented by the wide,
wide ocean and the many miles be-
tween, we haye your beautiful letter
Iof May fourteenth to remind us that
you are with US in thought.
'The lovely story Of your Princess
Libuse we enjoyed very much. She
must have been beautiful and lovely,
and we thank you for your wish that
we may be like her. In our next let
ter we will tell you some of the legends
| Of our land We are sorry you have
had to wait so long for an answer.
! Our greeting we extend to you with
all our hearts"

THEY WANTED AMERICAN
FLAG

During a recent week of Junior
Red Cross Field Representative to a
school in Salem, Massachusetts,, a lit
tie boy rushed up to her and informed
her that his sister was formerly in the
Red Cross Office at Boston, but has
gone to Lativa to engage in child wei
fare work. He told how through his
sisters letters he heard all about what
the Red Cross was doing over there.
At Christmas time she asked those
children what they wanted most of
all, and was greatly surprised by
their reply. They wanted flags, Am
crican flags! The request was unani-
NOUS and deeply sincere, for those
little boys and girls have grown to
love the United States for what it
has done for them, and to them the
Stars and Stripes mean health and
happiness.

There has been remarkable revival
abroad of interest in trade fairs. the

National Chamber points out in The
Nations Business.
A list recently prepared in the de-
partment shows 1913 events of this
character already scheduled to take
place during the present year, and

tai fairs, such as those at Lyons,
Leipsig and Utrecht, have taken on
a new Importance, and sample fairs
more recently established a. Frank
furt, Milan, Basel, Lemberg and other
trade centers, claim to nave been re-
markedly successful as regards both
attendance and sales. The Barcelona
Sample Fair, scheduled to take place
in March, is receiving the active CO.
operation of the American Chamber
of Commerce in that city, which has
made arrangements to handle displays
for American manufacturers not send
ing their own representatives to the
exhibition.
Great Britain. particularly. is dis
playing marked interest in the trade
exhibition; one of the four principal
| Divisions of the Department of Over
seas Trade devotes it's attention en-
clusively to fairs, sample exhibits and
catalog collections; the British Indus
tries Fair is Of first Importance among
purely national displays, and the Fed
Grafton Of British Industries is report
ed as organizing permanent sample
exhibits of British products in $50
