The Star told her how to get

Ken proudly explained.
He was talking about his new
foster home. where he also has
his own bed, a luxury for this
9-year-old boy.
His former home was a con-
demned, barren hulk. The chill
dren actually depended on
neighbors for the food.
Ken's mother was hospital
lied several times this past win
ter. and his father assumed no
responsibility for him.
He stayed with relatives,
changing school eight times in
the last year. Although the boy
is Of normal intelligence, the
frequent changes have made II
hard for him to keep UP with
his class. Too often he has felt
helpless and unwanted.
His mothers illness bothers
him. too. He wonders If she
became sick because he was toe
much trouble.
Kenis on the road at last To
the kind of life a bow should
have. Those who have worked
with him believe camp would
be q wonderful experience for
him.
Your contribution to The

milestone on that road.

All this is occasioned by
something the Rambler has
