termed the accident "deplor-

The system Of recruit train

doesn't love them. AS a matter
OF fact, she is over-concerned
about them.
Mrs. Allen is comparatively old
to have five children ranging
in age from 10 down to a new
baby. She can't seem to stand
their noise and running. She
also has to worry about expenses.
Mr.. Allen is a laborer with
an income of $9S every two
weeks. He tries to do odd Jobs
in the evenings to bring in extra
money. The second floor Of their
house is rented out with the
same objective.
1t doesn't leave much room
for the family. In a former
dining room are two bunk beds,
which hold two boys each. a
double bed and a crib for the
baby.
