children and for the convalescent
and ilcurable; hospitals, cettie ment
houses and summer camps.
Veterans Assisted.
A veterans program, for the Ill
in service hospitals and for those
trying to readjust themselves to ci-
villain life, is an important part of
the welfare divisions work, Mr.
Hegstrom noted. He said discharged
servicemen with prolonged combat
records sometimes first felt the
strain of settling down" many
months after leaving the service.
These men came to division agen-
cies for help in Strengthening out
strained war marriages, illness,
shortage of homes in which to live
and lack of opportunities to earn a
living"
A total of 3,206, ,5S4 pounds of
materials and food was sent to

ported today. This consisted of

the council reported this morning
that 36 orphaned Lutheran children
we're brought from Europe to the
United States in 1916. Six girls in
the group ranged from to Is years
old, while the 80 boys were between
Is and 10. They have been placed

The publication of an all-Luther-
an directory was recommended by
the Rev. Carl E. Lundquist, eXecu-
tive secretary of public relations
for the council He said the one
published in 1945 is obsolete today.
He also said a preliminary study
by his division indicated wide pos
sibilities' for church representation
in Washington. He said Govern
ment agencies appeared open
minded to the inclusion of church
representatives on planning COM
missions and conferences and are
willing to see what contribution
the church can make to collective
thinking and planning"
