WANT MOTHER
To CONE HOME
Little Destitute Woodbridge
Children ask Santa to Bring
Mother to Them

WOODBRIDGE, Dec. 20.-"oul.
mama, we want mama. Oh,
Santa, please bring back u mama,
home to us"
This has been the cry Of three
little children in Woodbridge since
their mother has been taken away
from the humble little house on
Flood street. to the Perth Amboy
City Hospital on November l of this
year, and where she is still confined
with a hemorrhage of the blood YES
sells. The longing of the children
for their mother finally moved the
neighbors, who have kept an eye
on the children, to call the case to
the attention of the proper ~organiza-
ton. An investigation of the case
made by a reporter of the Evening
News this morning revealed the fol-
lowing facts:
Mrs. Andrew 10th, a Hungarian
woman, had shaved and suffered to
make things go since her husband
had died last year. The fact hat
Mr.. 10th had been i'll for a long
period of time before his expiration,
has added more burden to the fam
lily troubles. The little money that
the Toths' had accumulated in the
bank for the children, went for doc
tors, bills. Immediately after the
mans death, Mrs. 10th set to work
TO earn a living and support her chill
dren. She raised chickens, took in
washing and did other homework.
She also took in two boarders to help
make both ends meet. The strain
of the hard work is said to have
caused Mrs. Toths present illness.
After being sick for a while at the
home Mrs. 10th was taken to the
hospital, leaving her eleyen-year-old

SAY POLITICS
CAUSED MOVE
Carteret School Board Re-
fused Sale of Christmas
Seals in the Schools

CARTERET, Dec. 20:-The school
commissioners of the borough have
caused a veritable upheaval here be-
cause of their refusal to grant Miss
Kathryn G.. Brady, nurse of the
Board of Health permission to sell
in the public schools Christmas
seals, according to general .ndica-
ton. Miss Brady appeared before
the Board of Education last week
and asked permission to sell the
seals. The applicant told of the
great t~ubercular work being done in
the borugh. Her plea, was denied,
because of the existing political
feud, it is alleged, Miss Brady being
a Republican and the commissioners
Democratic.
When questioned by a reporter of
the Evening News, Miss Brady said
this morning that she appealed to
the commissioners personally and
they promised to determine whether
the seals are sold in other schools
and eventually issue the permission.
The nurse said that she had heard
nothing from the Board of Educa-
tion since. Miss Brady would not
discuss the situation, but said that
1t was mighty discouraging to be
turned down on such a humanity
work, by the school board
supposed to have the welfare of the
children at heart"
Health Inspector Frank Born de-
nounced the attitude of the commits
sioners, for allowing politics to creep
into the best humanitarian work
ever done. He said that the health
board has had in the past wonder
full cooperation and financial assls-
lance from the Middlesex County
Anti-Tubercular League and cons;a-
cradle number of cases of tubercu-
losis have been handled in the
borough. The inspector pointed to
a sheet report on the tuberculosis
work, declaring that at the last
meeting of the board of health the
annual donation to that work has
been increased from $50 to 500.
Carteret is deriving big benefits from
| the association. Mr.. Born said.

daughter Elizabeth, to take care of
the house, look after her two
brothers, Joseph, eight, and Andrew,
fourteen. and also to keep watch on
the troublesome eighteen-year-old
brother, Paul.
Elizabeth readily met the task.
With all the courage and %persever-
ance of a grown-up girl, Elizabeth
became a housekeeper. Long before
6 o'clock in the morning abe was
up, preparing the breakfast for the
two boarders and her three brothers
She cleaned house and in due time
was ready to spend the day in school,
for Elizabeth with her two little
brothers attend public school here.
Little did tho other children know
of the responsibility that laid on
Elizabeth's shoulders and of the de-
serted little house. Elizabeth never
complained. Her love for her two
little brothers and her love for her
mother, gave her much inspiration
to keep the family together. With
school over, Elizabeth took Joseph
and Henry home. On the way, the
and before the boarders arrived
supper was in readiness.
While everything seemed to go
nicely, the babies could not refrain
from crying for their mother, COM
planning to the neighbors, until the
matter reached the ears of Health
Commissioner Potter and Overseei
of the Poor Gillian. Yesterday, the
three children were separated, placed
in three different homes until such
a time when their mother returns
from the hospital.
The little home therefore has been
abandoned. A few chickens are If
the coop. The boarders have to look
after themselves, and Paul, the old
est brother, who according to the
neighbors has been the cause of
much trouble to the truant officers
and parents is now looking after
the home. A glance into the rooms
revealed a pathetic sight.
