She is unable to assist her mother in the fight to ward off the wolf at the door, Candicapped by the daugh- ter’s condition the mother must take work where she can be at her daugh- ter’s side for many hours each day. Hearing a report of this pitiful e, the local chapter of the Red Cross is championing their cause and is planning to secure general support here for.the family.
