to 10,000 children and seeking support for 100
residential nurseries in the country — of which

10 are now opened.

This is what a child draws when first evacuated
from a bombed city district and the memory of
the horror is apparently indelible —a world of

violence and engines of destruction.

Hon. Henry J. Allen, former
Governor of Kansas and Chair-
man of the Federation’s Com-
mittee for British Child Aid,
visits wartime play center for
blitzed children and sees the
Before and After practical
demonstrations reproduced for
you on this page.

What the SCF is doing over-
seas is not merely emergency
relief but constructive serv-
ice to children.

The SCF works in England
through its sister organiza-
tion, the Save the Children
Fund. For work in other coun-
tries, it is the supporting
American member of the
Save the Children Interna-
tional Union, Geneva, Switz-
erland.

    

The effect of taking city chil- a
dren out of the welter of war =. es di | wo
to a pleasant rural home ren bef Cp
where with others they have
opportunity for normal play,
is amazing.

Here is a specimen of a
child's drawing after a restor-
ative period of play at a cen-
ter in the country away from
war and the screeching of
bombs—trees, flowers, birds,
Peace!
