to take his place before the keys

Mrs. Shackelford tells the story OF
how the soldier, injured in the Afri-

There didn't seem to be anything
which stirred a flicker of interest in
the young man" she said.
He was not confined to his bed
but he seemed resigned to simply
being an onlooker when the Red
Cross recreation people went into
his ward to entertain or assist his
buddies.

he was a music lover and had been
fine pianist and violinist that we
began to make headway with him
A pianist was taken to his ward and
community sing was held. The boy
looked on longingly, but took no part
until we suggested he play for us.
No, he said, III never be able
to play again"
Told to try, the soldier discovered
that with effort he could play a few
bars. 1t was an agonizing beginning
and his efforts were slow and some
times discouraging but he finally got
the confidence that allowed him to
go on-the confidence that will make
the operation success.

Mrs. Shackelford, before working

At Walter Reed, Mrs. Shackelford
is in charge of recreation activities
for her boys. Movies three times a

She says there is little difference

they are little younger now.

she says They want to hurry and
get well, so they can get back in
the fight. They look on their life
here as a stepping stone to some
thing bigger. We just try to help

Keeps Diary of Activities.
During her years at the hospital
Mrs. Shackelford has kept diaries
of her activities. In them are the
names of stars of the movies, the
theater and from public life that
have entertained or visited her
sons"
Many of the stars always tele-
phone her, if they can't come to
the hospital in person. They all
call her ma, too. She keeps all her
letters. She usually gets several
hundred Christmas cards from the
boys and from people in all walks
of life
AS the little corporal left the
hospital, he glanced at the Red
Cross poster on a wall. It carried
the message, The Greatest Mother

Il already knew it," he said.

Operates Over Globe.
Never before has the Washington
area been asked to raise 81 ,555 400
for the Red Cross. But the need is
greater than ever before, officials
have emphasized, as America ex-
pands its fighting forces in all parts
Of the globe. From Alaska to Ice
land to Australia, China, the Solo,
mons, England and North Africa,
American servicemen are having
their morale sustained by Red Cross
miniStrations. Stated by American
men and women who by experience
and training were suited to the task,
nearly $50 clubs are in operation
overseas.
Never in its history has the Red
Cross been called upon to send relief
to SO many distant lands as in the
last three years. Relief by and
through American Red Cross valued
at more than s63,OO0,0 900 has been
distributed to millions of men, wom-
en- and children, officials said today.
Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
Chief of Staff, says of the Red Gross:
The Army depends heavily on the
Red Cross as a vital link between
its individual soldiers and their fam
lilies. AS the only civilian organiza-
ton which operates on military re-
servations, the contribution made by
Red Cross workers, and the highly
organized assistance available to the
