How You Can Lend Hand
Young Twins Got a Chance
To Be Happy Through Chest

When the twins were 2,
their father deserted them
and their mother. That was
six years ago. He hasn't been
heard from since.
Mrs. Jones was able to sup
port them by placing them in
a day nursery operated by the
Community Chest in Tampa.

and placed the boys with her
mother law. She went back
to the drugstore job she had
before she married.
But the boys were active and
devilish. The grandmother
had a hard time looking after
them. When Jim fell off the
porch into the rain barrel and
almost drowned, it was de-
cided they would have to go
somewhere where a younger
person could watch over their
antics.
Drain on Income.
So Jack and Jim went to
a nearby nursery home. 1t cost
S100 a month for both. Mrs.
Jones makes $153.60 a month.
Two-thirds of her income was
gone before she even started
to pay rent, or eat, or buy
clothes.
The boys, according to the
social workers who have
worked with them since, suf-
fered a lack of security and
love from being bumped from
boarding house to boarding
house. They acted up,
screamed, broke things, hit
each other and fellow roomerS.
The operator of the nursery
home told Mrs. Jones she was
