appearance in real life. Practically over
night, on almost every city block and village
square, child commanders found cohorts
ready to defend the home front. The children
began by running errands and doing house
hold chores, but their ambitions soon grew.
They now act as couriers for AFRAID wardens,
as guerrilla scouts and lookouts in villages.
They also serve in military hospitals, help
on the farms, and operate their own work

for instance, to disseminate propaganda leaf

chronicling the activities of this children's
army, nor is there any counting the forces
of the Timurites. We know they number
we'll over five million, that Russia is heart

who are helping to relieve war-strained faml-
lies from the burdens of everyday living.
These children like Masha, Petya, Leyla and
Tanya, are called Timurites, and they belong
to Timur teams which began to spread
throughout the country when the war came.
The leader of each team delegates daily
assignments. Sometimes mother has no one
to look after her child while she takes over
her husbands job at the factory. Frequently
a pile of clothes has been washed but not
ironed Often there is no man at home to cut
and stack pile of fire wood. All this the
children do They tackle much bigger jobs
too; harvesting crops, salvaging scrap, enter
tanning wounded soldiers and collecting gifts
for the Red Army are part of the life OF every

tons of scrap iron in addition to 5000 yards
of pipe and tubing to convert into shells,
tanks, bombs and planes for the front.
The children are also repairing fireplace
able equipment on the home front. At the
entrance of school in the city of Ashkabad,
there is sign written in green paint: "Elec-

Tinur Team"
The Timurites have workshops in almost
every city l visited several and found girls
sewing underwear, darning stockings and
making clothes from remnants of material.
They were even making shoes, for they have
learned in school how to pattern soles and
tops and stitch them together. The boys
that met were amateur carpenters. They
were making furniture; toys, medicine chests
and household appliances, and. in some cases,
weapons for their fathers at the front. In
one workshop | visited the Timurites, who
were all vocational-school pupils, were pro-
ducing camouflage coveralls, oars for pontoon
boats, shell cases, snow shields and small ar
tillery parts What they priced most, how
ever, were the training rifles which they had
recently assembled The model has passed

At all the military hospitals the children
are Indispensable They write letters home for
the wounded read newspapers and books, re-
cite poems and entertain the soldiers. The
Timurites help to make beds, scrub floors,
run errands and unpack and assort all types
of medical supplies, much of which come from
America. The supplies are marked Ot Roshen

] HE Timurites of Murmansk spent last
summer in the Arctic hunting game to send
back to the hospitals. They braved rain
mist and snow to bring back 5000 duck and
$1,000 gulemot eggs.
Many others worked in the fields from the
Nolga to the Onsk River. Like the.4-H Clubs
in America, the Timurites thrashed grain,
dug thousands of bushels of potatoes, picked
hundreds of pounds of mushrooms and slowed
away tons of hay under tarpauin.

enough money by farming to send tank

but the children even come to school on Sum
days to do these odd jobs. They realize how
fortunate they are to be back at school; last
wear classes were held in AFRAID shelters.
Book Collectors
RECENrLY, when the children of the recap
tured Puitrov district returned to school
they were badly handicapped by shortage
of text books The Nazis had burned the books
for fuel. The Timurltes Of Chelyablnsk
learned of this situation and went from house
to house. asking mothers for donations OF
books which their children had used the'term
before The results were highly satisfactory.
The Chelyabinsk Timurites collected 3,O76
books and sent them, together with other
gifts of wapn clothing, to the Pultrov school,
children to help them start their lives over
again in this devastated area.
1t is not amazing that our children are
showing such initiative today. The expe-
rience after the last war taught us to
train young minds and bodies. remem-
Der how in the late 20s many children
roamed the streets and highways and slept IN
darkened marketplaces and railway stations.
Today the Timurites. especially the older
boys, make frequent visits to the depots IN
search of stranded children from the occupied
area-children who are suffering from shrap-
mel and bullet wounds, frostbltten fingers and
exposure These homeless waits belong to the
great family without parents today. but the
Timurites lead them to hospitals and refugee
centers, and despite the migration OF millions,
Russia has few wandering children today.
There is no doubt, though that our chill
dren have suffered severe hardships - greater
than manv adults could endure. The war has
completely overshadowed their young lives.
but it has given them new sense OF respon-
siblity a greater love of their country. WIS
dom beyond their years.
The Tmurtes are helping in thousands OF
small vet significant ways to defeat the tasclst
enemy These courageous children are dis
playing the same vigor, determination and
faith as their fathers in the Red Army. They
will live to share with the children Of all the
freedom-loving nations the thing that chill
dren most desire - life of peace, justice
and happiness
