who has seen the conditions in
France, told the members lw the
Americans can help. He citd one
.a.se where the father, depressed be
cause of the loss of both legs and one
arm, was nursed back to help by
-Madame Pierrard and given a posi
tion in a small factory as "a time
keeper. He can only use his right
arm. The government pays only
four francs, or SO cents a day, to her
war heroes,, and the extra money that
he can make greatly assists him in his
daily life. The man at first resisted
the opportunity of resuming work,
but when he found that the Ameri
cans are interested in him, he con
sented to work.
Miss Hastings, who is the cor
respondent for the club, states that
she is in receipt of several very pa
thetic letters from French children.
One little boy, hearing of the Boy
Scouts of America through one of the
members, wrote that he organized a
little club of Boy Scouts In Vendome'
France, who go each day to the
graves of the American soldiers to
keep them green.
