The children in this family are the
sort that make you think and think
hard. There are five of them, the old
est girl Of 9 years with big eyes and
a sad expression which doubtless comes
from hunger and from constant aSSo-
citation with misery and illness and
poverty.
The father is q sick man. He has
tuberculosis. He was young when war
was declared and he proudly marched
with 1000, 900, strong and well. He re-
turned to his home, took up his pre-
war work, then married. His work be-
came dificult for him and the respon-
sibility of his family with his Inadequate
income broke him mentally and phys
ically.
Through the close contact Of the
nurse and a welfare agency, the case
was turned over to the agency for care
The case worker had the wife and chill
dren examined for signs of this dreaded
disease. It was learned that one of the
children was badly affected. Provision
for sending the father and child to q
hospital was made. A promise to care
for the family was extended by the
worker and the father went away re-
lieved mentally.
The mother is tired and worried and
her burden Is doubled because she Is
obliged to carry on alone. Her sole con-
fidant is the case worker on whom she
depends entirely for advice and counsel.
She goes to the clinic with her family
and guards them carefully. But many
times the car tokens run low and the
price of eggs and milk mounts higher
and the sunshine even has tax on it
when there is no warm clothing to wear
ir order to get out of doors. The sum
of 5000 year will take care of this
family.

Five years ago Mrs. D. was comfort

now she Is desperate. Her only home

provides. Her sad story the social
worker knows to be true. Mrs. DIS

standing, lost his job and they lost their
furniture and home and finally Mr.. D.
left the city, with no word of his where
abouts or his reason for going. The
mother lived with various relatives until
each asked her to move on.
The worker learned new baby would
be coming soon. An effort to reunite
the family has been made, but mean
time the family is receiving only the
little that this agency can give. The
mother is not well and should be given
a rest, but there IS no money. The
