Others put away the wraps of guests who called, or held the dust pan for mother when she swept the kitchen. They ate every morsel of food and drank every drop of milk in the cup without prodding at meals and they hung up their pa-jamas-each morning. Tomorrow morning they will put their mite boxes on thé miniature altar in their classroom, The teacher will explain that their “hardearned” pennies will go overseas to relieve the suffering of children in war stricken countries.
