THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Mother of ‘Only Child’ Is Center of Protest
A storm of protest has beeii aroused by a letter to me from “A Devoted Mother,” which followed one from “Poor But Happy.” The mother of ten children is “Poor But Happy.” She wrote to suggest that large families are one remedy of the divorce evil. “A Devoted Mother,” who has one child, protested that large families made it impossible for each child to be educated as he should.
Now members of both large and small families are coming to tho defense of “Poor But Happy.” Most of them contend that an only child loses more than he gains, even though he does receive a better education and does have more luxuries than tha child of a large family. Hero’s what some of the champions of the large-family cause have to say: Life’s Lessons Learned Miss Martha Lee—l noticed the letter from ‘‘Poor But Happy;’’ also tho answer, from “A Devoted Mother." I think “Poor But Happy” is right I am one of a family of ten children. While we did not get as good an education as X want my children to have, being one of so large a family is an education In itself. We learned love, sacrifice and- unselfishness, lessons greatly needed to meet the problems of life. We learned to "give and take,” to share what we have. I have traveled far and have been thrown with people of ail classes, and find that ninety-nine times out of 100, the really happy men and women are the parents of large families. I am -now the mother of six children, ranging from two months to 13 years, and I will say that if every man was as busy as my husband and every woman as busy as I. there would be much less "falltng in love" with other wives and husbands. Oh yes, it means many sleepless nights many days of hard work, many hours of sacrifice, to raise a family; but “a life of service is a life worth while." and in serving Uorf by doing the best I can for the little ones Ho sends rat*. I am ALWAYS HAPPY. From an Only Child Dear Martha Lee—Having been bronght up without brother or sister. I should like
©, With the Legion ! Auxiliary
Requests have come in from a number of Indiana units of the American Legion Auxiliary for information concerning accomplishments of other departments. While State organizations, as a rule, follow the uniform plan outlined by national chairmen, organizations occasionally some distinctive quality enters Into the system. In Ft. Bayard, N. M., where one of the largest tubercular hospitals in the country is located, an auxiliary unit has been organized by Mrs. Belle Nye, national commltteewoman from Albuquerque. The unit Is composed of disabled World War nurses. The New York department is assisting the legion in raising an endowment fund of 72,500,000 for the Veteran Mountain Camp, in the Adirondack mountains. The camp is a home and hospital for veterans of all wars. Special consideration is given ex-serv-ice men pot eligible to compensation. A non-sectarian cfiapel will be erected, at a cost of SIO,OOO. Last year, the department of North Carolina, with only sixty-two units, donated $250 to the national welfare fund. The quota to the grave endow ment fund was exceeded by SBB. The auxiliary provided furniture for the library and legion club rooms at the Oteen (N. C.) hospital. The department has contributed approximately SB,OOO to welfare work. Oklahoma stands second In the United States In percentage of gain in membership. This State more than doubled her membership during the year. Five hundred domiciled in the two Government hospitals in Oklahoma are cared for by the auxiliary. Fifteen new units have been organized. Pennsylvania has a paid-up mem bership of 15,385. Several night schools have been established for foreign born. Jam closets and cookie jars in hospitals in Oregon are kept filled by the units in this department. Assisting In community service work has been a special feature of auxiliary work.

to tell ‘A Devoted Mother" and “A West Side Mother" that I certainly feel sorry lor the only child. Mothers, supposing your one child would be taken trom you. alter you were too old to have another. It is true my three could be taken, also, but, alter all, I would only be losing my all. the same as you. I thank God lor my three healthy children. That is all we feel we are able to care for and fit for the battle of life. HAPPY MEDIUM. Another Defense Dear Miss Leo —1 have just read the letter from ‘‘A West Side Mother.” and I will agree she has not much education, at least, not in the finer things of life. I do not ag-ree. though, that "no sensible person would want ten children.” I think it takes a mighty sensible woman to raise ten children; any cne could raise one child. What would become of this world if we all had only one child? God docs not send us any more than ho wants us to have, and “He will provide." I am the mother of lour; and if the Lord sends four more, or even enough for a family of ten. I will tie thankful for each one and do my best for hint. Oh yes, children do hold couples together; not always, but very, very often. Many couples are happy together noW. who. had it not been for a child, would have been separated during the first lew years of marriage, when it is so hard to get adjusted. I can understand a selfish woman's not wanting any children, but I can not understand how the mother of one child can say she does not want another Does she not know we get the same Joy. love and comfort trom each one? Also, she is depriving her child of the finest thing on earth—the love and compan lonship of a brother or sister A LOVER OF CHILDREN
A number of World War orphans have been adopted by different units. The little department of Rhode Island has donated a rado set for one hospital and a phonograph for an other, where disabled ex service men are housed. The department has six teen units. Work of the Tennessee department is centered in the National Military Hospital at Johnson City. Other work of the welfare committees is divided among the surgical hospital at Mem phis, thq receiving hospital, near Nashville and .he hospital for mental patients in Nashville. The units are financing the subscription to 125 mag ezines and papers, which go direct from the publishers to the hospitals. Many memorial trees have been planted throughout the State and one auxiliary has promoted a movement for founding a community building, I which is now assured. UCalls’ entire delegation was present at the last annual department convention. Each representative paid her own expense®. Vermont has gained 50 per cent in membership and has an almost 100 per cent record of permanent charters. The newly-elected Senator and Congressmen from Vermont have pledged their support to the and auxil lary In legislation on the adjusted compensation bill. Monday evening members of Bruce Robison Post of the legion will be hosts to the auxiliary at a pot-luck supper at Central Christoan Church. Mrs. Willard S. Boyle, president of tho auxiliary unit, has announced her committees as follows: Hospital and welfare, Mrs. G. I. Seybert, Mrs. Ralph Bums, Mrs. Helen Alexander and Mrs. Christina Russell; child welfare, Mrs. C. L. McDowell, Miss Nellie Crawford: membership, Mrs. J. W. Price, Mrs. Ella Borton and Mrs. H. C.

Arlington, Mrs. Dorothy Andrus and Mrs. Hilda Marlett. The Mcllvaine-Kothe unit will meet with Mrs. Louis J. Kostor, 1402 Marlowe Ave., Tuesday afternoon. Work will be completed on a layette for the city hospital. This unit of In-. dlanapolis has been caring for the family of an ex-service man, with three children. The unit has obtained employment for the mother, j assisted with clothing, food and rent, i and will continue to do so until the | man has established his claim for com- j pensation.
