Mrs. Jones was very proud of
her son, who showed promise as
an athlete.
“Yes, he must be a very fast
runner,” she explained proudly to
a neighbor. “Look at the newspap
er report of the sports yesterday.
It says he fairly burned up the
track.”
“And it’s quite true,” she added
confidently. “I went to see the
track this morning, and it’s

Letter From Greece
The following lettei’ has
received from overseas in response
to a note pinned in clothing during
the recent clothing drive:
Deal’ Madam:
I was lucky in being able to write
to you. It was through receiving an
overcoat. In one of the pockets I
found your address. You will find
my address at the top of this let
ter. Hoping you will correspond
with me.
I have three daughters and two
sons of a family. I pray to you it is
possible you will Ibe able to send
me on two parcels on. My husband
and family are nearly naked. I 'be
lieve you who are good natured and
you feel so much towards the poor
people. Just through this war which
has brought it upon us. I don’t
know what I am -going to do this
winter with no clothes. Here in
Greece it is very difficult.
Sometimes we get our bread from
the bake house. I don’t know what
I am going to do. I’ll close now as
I’ve no more to write about. So
pray to God to give you all the best
of health and everything you desire.
I will always be obliged to you.
