ORPHANS, A SECRET

last

A prominent man in Britain. whose name is a closely-guarded secret, has offered to adopt thirty children orphaned in the Coventry air raid.

He plans to give them a home and to care for them as his own

children until they grow up. His offer has been accepted.

Offers of homes for the innocent victims of Hitler's murder raiders have been received from rich and

the poor in all parts of

world. Hundreds of parcels of clothes have been sent as well.

And in Coventry itself there aro would-be foster parents. Some have already assumed responsibility for the care helpless Infants without bothering to inform the authori-

ties.

Farm Was Derelict

"I do all the heavy work on a farm of more than 200 acres and any woman could do the same after a bit of training."

"The sooner women realise that the better it will be for the food situation."

Mrs. Kennedy modest'y did no mention that she has made the farm pay.

But its owner, Mr. Sidney Van den Bergh, former managing director of the margarine firm, did. And he was full of praise for Mrs. even Kennedy.
