In a communication just received at

I Nelson, Assistant Director of Nursing
I Service in llrcece, reports that the
j foreign residents In Athens have form
ed committees which are doing what
they can to relieve the situation.
The main groups are the British,
i-wiss and American committees. The
International Ked Cross Committee is
also at work. Miss Nelson states. The
latter oruanitation is providing Toon I
for about it. 000 noisons. Through
Raron Koadin-4 two soup kitchens are j

The Swiss committee has taken the

been separated from their pr.rents.
This is a small camp, having a total
capacity of L'OO children. The Inter

irovernment's authorization loses his
citizenship. He applied for aid to
Czechoslovakia through diplomatic
channels for help. Czecho-Slovakia
was cood to its disabled vets. Word
came to Pittsburgh that the Czecho
Slovaklan Government was sorry, but
Katina had renounced his citizenship
in that country and had become an
American, therefore it was op to' Am

ina, valiant fighter for both countries,
was now, officially, a veteran without

Friends Assist
Kind friends got poor Katina out
to St. Francis Hospital; but, aside
from landing on a patient's cot, that.
is as far as he got. No one of his
friends had the prico for an operation,
and there could be no operation until
the cash to pay for it was in sight
Pathetic appeals went to Washington
Bureau chiefs, clerks and others down
there passed tho buck from one sec
tion to another. Formidable-looking
documents were prepared about this
man; chief and sub-chiefs rubber
stamped the papers and passed them
along. But Katina still reposed on his
lonely cot in St. Francis Hospital, in
Pittsburgh, and so It wen from week
to week. Clerks in Washingtcn went
about their business with their accus
tomed calmness and deliberation.
Finally Dr. Bedrich Stepanek, Cze-cho-Slovakian
Minister, thought some
thing ought to be done about it in
stead of so much red take. Ho wrote
a letter. It just sizzled. Then things
happened might fast. Word came to
St. Francis Hospital that Katina might
be hospitalized along with other Am
erican veterans. He could have his
operation and whatever else he needed
in the way of medical attention. The
U. S. Government could be charged
with his account. The Czecho-SIova-

PCH FOLK IN HOSPITAL
WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. Sr.
Christmas celebrations will' be in
charge of the Bed ('rots in hospitul
in the Pacific Division 'where 'there
are approximately 5,000 service or ex
service men patients. Nine U. S. Vet
erans' Bureau Hospitals, two Marine
hospitals, four Naval hospitals, three
Military hospitals and one Soldierb'
Homo comprise the list...
Every year it has been the custom
of Bed Cross Chapters to contribute
generously towards making Christmas
cheerful and happy for the hospital
ized ex-service men, but because soma
of the hospitals are less well known
less accessible than others, thev
have not always shared equally in,
Christmas donations. This year, Chap
ter contributions will be sent direct to
Division Headquarters ana the whole
divided with a view to making the Ited
Cross share in the celebrations as
nearly equal as possible.
Pacific Division Juniors have always
responded readily to the -request from
the Division Director of Junior Activi
ties t remember the disabled men at
Christmas time. The response Coming
in from Chapters already Indicates
that a larger Junior contribution that
vsual is forthcoming. Gifts of jams),
jellies, fruit and candy are being plan
ned by the Juniors.
Nor is Christmas the, . only, .time
when the soldier patients are made
happy by festivities under the 'direc
tion of Ited Cross workers. ...On Hal
lowe'en a celebration was stagod at,
I.etternian Hospital Red Cross House,'
San Francisco, another at Walla Walla
Hospital, Walla Walla, Wash., and. a
third at Whipple Barracks, Prescott,
Ariz, impromptu gatherings at all the
hospitals afford a great deal of pleas
ure to patients, and as one Field Di
rector writes, "We believe these 'good
times,' many of them impromptu Bath-,
erings, are at present the most char
acteristic phase of our work.".
