SEND A KID TO CAMP
FotherIess Bert Eager
For Outdoor Holiday

Twelve-year-old Bert lives with
his mother and two brothers
and sister in a two-room house
in a nearby county.
Bert and his 9-year-old brother
sleep on cots in the combination
living room-kitchen which boasts
one door to the outside.
The other room serves as a
bedroom for his mother, his z
year-old sister and smallest
brother.
A shadow hangs over this little
household. The youngest boy is
mentally retarded. Plans are
being made. regretfully, now to
have him cared for in a home
for feeble minded children.
Helps Care for Brother
1t hurts the family to think of
his going. Bert plays with the
little boy and helps his mother
with his care.
The children's father died two
years ago. The family receives
some social security benefits, sup
plemented by welfare aid. The
mother has not been able to go
out and get a Job because her
youngest has needed continuous
care.
Although the income is small,
the mother manages her money
well. Recently she found the
children liked powdered milk,
which was a help with her
budget. But there is little money
for the necessities, not to speak
of any luxuries.
Last year, Bert was given a
trip to summer camp. He has
told the welfare worker who
helps his family that he would
like to go again this year. So
would his 9-year-old brother.
Bert says he hopes some of
the counselors he met last year
will he there again. When he
found the going hard at school
this winter, he used to remem-
