standards are set high. For on
these week ends wounded men
learn to face living in a civilian

their attitude to disablement.
Hostesses attend monthly lee

Their attitude to the man is one

That the convalescent week ends

questioned. Take Bill, a Guadal-
canal vet who visited at Mrs.
Stricken Coles home in Bryn
Mawr, Pa. He had a shrapnel
wound in his left side that refused
to heal. Doctors were dubious
about. letting him 60 because of
danger Of infection. He insisted.
but on arriving merely sat sunk in
silence. Mrs. Coles. who was men
toned by General Pershing and
Admiral Sims for similar work in
the last war, wisely did not ques-
ton him. But at ii that night
when she was sharing coffee and
sandwiches with him. he began
telling her things about his battle
experiences which he'd never been
able to talk of before. When he
stopped at 4 am. he was strangely
peaceful. Military medics were
amazed when scar tissue began
forming shortly after Bill returned
to the hospital. Soon he was back
in uniform - at Officer Candidate
School!
MacAxthuxss >NSuAay"
A TREMENDOUSLY talented woman
with respondent cases, Mrs. Coles
had as another guest that week
end General MacArthur's former
chauffeur. a Filipino named Sunny.
He was a wheel-chair case. one leg
missing. the other in plaster cast.
Sunny couldn't sleep, wouldn't
talk much. He'd been bombed out
ofthree hospitals in the Philippines.
All he had left from his life there
was a tattered photo of his fianoee.
Mrs. Coles noticed Sunny grew
even more reticent when some OF
the guests tipped into the SWIM
ming pool. She recalled that he'd
mentioned being a good shot with
a bow and arrow. 1t wasn't long
before an archery contest was
under way. When he won it from
his wheel chair. Sunny's smile
proved how he earned his nick
name. From that point on his dam
of silence was broken.
The Service started this way: In
the winter of 1912, Mrs. Horace 7.
Greenwood. OF Moorestown, N. j.,
was worried. Her son, in the
Army, was wounded while en-
route to Australia. She knew
he'd get the best medical care
in the world, and he did.
But | wished. as he began to
recover, that some woman would
entertain him for a quiet week
end" she says. Then one day it
struck me 1900 l could do that very
thing for other mothers sons in
our hospitals right here"
So Mrs. Greenwood put the idea
