At Children's Hospital, bravely
and smilingly bearing up under
a three month illness, a tiny boy
lies on the verge of death.
In Takoma Park, Md, using a
neighbor's phone because she
cannot afford a phone of her
own, a frantic mother calls on
every member of her family,
every man and woman in her
acquaintance, to find someone
who will contribute blood to
save her little boys life.

The little boy is Robert 'Thomp-
son. four-and-a-half years old,
who is suffering not from one
disease but from three ailments
all: at once. which are slowly
and gradually sapping the life
blood from his veins.
Cheerfully in his little hospital
bed, he chats about his many
brothers and sisters, unmindful
of the serious illness that may
soon end his brief span of years.
His mother, Mrs. Nora Thomp-
son, who has seven other children
ranging in ages from three months
to nine years, has been striving in
vain to find someone who will con-
