Belgian Girl Educated by Juniors. Educational opportunities for war orphans in foreign countries, as planned by the Junior Red Cross of America in its "Service" program, mean that this pretty young girl of Gheluwe, Flanders, and many more helpless children of the war zones will be taught ways and means of self supporting futures. Girls and boys left entirely alone in the world or with widowed mothers unfitted to suddenly provide for themselves and families of little ones are insured in hundreds of cases against actual poverty, for American school children are endowing funds in many European countries for their vocational education. Clothing from America is another contribution by this organization that is tiding over these helpless war victims through the discomforts of winter
