WPA GIVES PET SHOW SHELBYVILLE, Ind., June 24— The annual pet show sponsored for the past several years by the WPA recreation department will be held tomorrow at the Laura. Morrison

Two decades ago a war-torn France no longer offered a safe residence for Madame Marie Henry, then a child, and she fled to her parents’ home in Indianapolis. Last week on a New York dock, she greeted her nephew, Louis. J. Lauler, 13-year-old refugee aboard the liner Washington.

Today Louis is at Madame Hegry’s home, 118 W. 13th St. He is rapidly learning American ways and “liking it very much.” Louis was born in Miami, Fla. His father died when Louis was a year old and he and his mother went to Paris. Louis’ mother was unable to return with him on the Washington. No word has been received ‘from her for several weeks. Master Lauler, who lived at 9 Blvd. D’Auteuil, Paris, remembers all too clearly .the bombardment of Paris. ! “Bombs dropped 10 feet’ from our apartment,” he said, with his aunt acting as interpreter. She is an instructor in French at Tudor Hall. Louis remembers mostly the con-

Madame Henry, World War Refugee, Greets a Refugee

stant stream of Belgian refugees] who trudged past his home on the way to the Belgian consulate. “Mest of them had been wounded by machine guns,” he said. ; When the Washington was challenged by a submarine off Portugal, there was no panic among the passengers, Louis said. “We were all called to the dining room and a loudspeaker told us what to do,” he explained. - “We weren't told why, though.” Louis was one of the refugees who crouched in lifeboats already overside while the captain braved the U-boat commander's threat to torpedo the ship. The repeated words, “This is an American ship,” finally sent the submarine on its way. Despite the experiences Louis has gone through in the past few months, from a private school near Versailles to Indianapolis via 3000 miles of war-torn world—he remains soft spoken, bright-eyved and interested in this new quiet life. Mostly he is impressed by tithe friendliness of the people, the food and our “strange” buildings."
