Vet Gets Gift
.0f $4,000 Home

Today might have been q
dreary, bitter travesty of Christ
mas for Sgt. Walter F. Osborne
28, the young ST. Clair Shores
veteran who came home almost
totally paralyzed.
He might have huddled in his
wheel chair in a corner of the tiny
garage-home he built for his fam
! lily before he went to war. And
he might have sat silent and
afraid while his six children and
his wife, Elsie, 26, tried to make
things seem like Christmas.
WHAT DID HAPPEN
This is all what might have
happened if Sgt. Osborne had not
come home to friends.
What happened is this:
Sgt. Osborne is sitting in his
inadequate little house all right,
but he's far from afraid of what
the future may hold. He's sitting,
eagerly waiting to show any visi-
tor who calls, the deed to a $10,-
600, nine-room home. His home.
Last night-in a final act of
what was long succession of in
credibly friendly gestures-the st.
Clair Shores Dads Service Club
presented the deed to Sgt. Os-
borne and quietly wished him a
Merry Christmas.
FRIENDS DOING WORK
The house is being rushed to
completion right next door to Sgt.
Osborne's present dwelling at
28402 Gladstone. The work is done
by friends in their spare time.
And the materials were furnished
by friends recruited by the club.
The Times heard of the work
and publiciZed 1t. Contributions
poured in when the Service Club
gave a benefit party early in De-
cember. Today, the contractors
say the house will be ready for
occupancy in two months.
WILL LEARN TRADE
Sgt. Osborne, with the future
of his children assured, will begin
TO concentrate on learning a trade.
Here again the st. Clair Dads
are helping. When Osborne and
his doctors decide what oeeupa-
ton he should undertake, his
friends win pay the training costs.
Sgt. Osborne was wounded by
a she'll fragment in the st. 10
breakthrough. His legs are COM
pletely paralyzed and he has the
use OF only his right arm.
