Did You Ever Live in an Orphanage?—
Times Clothe-A-Child
Drive Can Help Mot ther of Syndicate Keep Family Together
By ART
Little “Eddie” is in a tough spot. He doesn’t know it, but he might have to spend the rest, of his young life in an orphanage. His mother probably has cried many times about the
prospects. | But even a brave, devoted mother sometimes finds she has] to give up the fight to keep her family . together. When there isn’t the money to give a little boy the things he needs . . . like warm clothes to keep him healthy in the cold winter.
Needs Clothes Badly
“Eddie” already has experienced heartbreaks. His father died a tragic death. Now he doesn’t have the clothes he needs. He doesn’t have a lot of things. If you asked him, he probably would say he didn't want warm clothes and things if he had to leave his mother—go live in an orphanage—to get them. Ask his mother and she'd say she didn’t want him to leave her, either. But what can a mother do when there isn’t money to buy what a little boy like “Eddie” HAS to have to help him grow up to be a healthy man? That's where YOU can help.
Just ‘Pitch In’
At The Times Clothe-A-Child we've figured out this idea for “Eddie”: Let's find some kind man or woman who is willing to take “Eddie” to the stores before Christmas and buy those new, warm clothes he needs. Or maybe someone is willing to give a little extra money to The Times Clothe-
A-Chijld to help do it. If enough}.
“pitch in,” it can be done. Then maybe his mother will find new encouragement. -Maybe somehow, something else will happen to make it possible for this brave mother to keep “Eddie” at home with her . .. and he'll never even know anyone thought about sending him to an orphanage. There are other children in the "family, too. That's why the mother’s job is so difficult. When we speak of “Eddie,” we're talk-
