The prisoner who receives the package
signs them. One, white card, is in
tended for the Red Cross files and the
other, buff one, can be sent to the
donor.
If more than one prisoner shares in
package, they all sign. And some cards
have been signed by seven-even IA
prisoners. After ALL the number of pack
ages sent is long way from 100000.
The British and Canadian prisoners
are the most fortunate in having some
one to look after them and the Poles the
least fortunate The latter have virtually
no one else to look to but Americans.
At the request of the British Red
Cross, the Canadian Red Cross is trying
to supply the British and Canadian
prisoners with a box at frequent inter-
walls. Using the assembly line idea, wom-
an volunteers are packing about 5000
boxes day Part of these go into stor-
age and the others-about 10000 week
are sent by American boat. to Lisbon.
Packages may be dispatched through
American Red Cross to individual British
prisoners simply by filling out an address
and paying the $275. But individual
packages NAV only be sent prisoners of
other nationalities when the prisoner
himself has sent an address label to the
donor.
The Germans inaugurated this system
because of the great difficulty of handling
individually addressed packages due to
the numerous nationalities and the large
number of prisoners. Because of this
complication, would-be donors are asked
to contribute funds for packages to be
distributed to prisoners of war identified
as to nationality only.
1t takes about two months to get back
the acknowledgment cards from the
camps after the packages have been dis
tributed. These cards are just now be-
ginning to trickle in and 839 have been
received. Five hundred and twenty
eight are from the British, 609 from
Polish, 288 from Belgian and Ala from
French prisoners.
Names from postal cards the American
Red Cross receives from prisoners ASKING
that they be added to the food box list
are sent to the international headquar-
ters in Geneva and parcels are sent on
to the prisoner from the stock on hand.
Distribution of packages is observed by
visiting delegates to the prison camps
from the International Red Cross and
also by visits of officials of the American
Embassy in accord with the international
Red Cross treaties.
In addition to food packages the Amer
lean Red Cross has sent to the prison
camps 5000 clothing packages containing
underwear, socks, shirt, soap and tooth
brush as we'll as in bulk, $4,000 sweaters,
socks, muflers, 10000 pounds Of soap
and 1000 pairs OF shoes.

By Basil Gordon.

Everything must be kept in order and
her reputation as housekeeper upheld.
That very evening one of her first op-
portunities came. On glancing at a
canary in the living room, she was hor-
rified to observe a couple Of mice run
ming up the curtains near it, casually
leaping to the cage and muscling in on
the canary's seed. "Shoo!" she said.
The mice, pausing briefly to give her
a reproachful look, scampered down the
curtain into hole in one corner of the
room. Next morning she got traps from
the local store and set them by the hole.
Click! went one shortly. Click went
the other a little later. The wicked
wife smiled grimly. That settled the
mouse problem, she thought in her in
nocence. When the mother-in-law re-
turned, the wife proudly related her ex-
plot, hoping for mental pat on the
back
"Oooooh!' walled the older lady in
stead They've been pets for years!
How could you be so cruel! What will
become of their family? Oh, those poor
little orphans will stave miserably!
And they're so cute and precious!"
The wife, utterly crushed at her colos-
sal failure at the elements Of housekeep-
ing, was appalled,. Without realizing it.,
she had put herself right in the same
class with the wicked queen who perse-
cuted Snow White. Remorse seized her,
and she virtually offered to get down on
hands and knees, gnaw her way into the
nest and pinch hit for the deceased
mouse mother by feeding the little ones
milk with an eye dropper. But, alas,
their little home was too remote to reach
without tearing the house down, so no
doubt they perished
For about year the young wife re-
manned in the doghouse, after which she
very cleverly escaped by presenting the
mother-in-law with nice new grandson
to make up in part for the martyred
mice.
