Bread Boys of Sarajevo. Typical illustration of the way boys of Bosnia carry burdens on their head. This is a baker's boy who peddles bread in the streets. He balances a long plank loaded with thirty pounds of bread on his head and walks without a misstep through crowded traffic. All this bread is made from white flour sent from America to relieve the food shortage. These boys and thousands of others like them are being aided by the Junior Red Cross of America, which looked after the distribution of cocoa and milk to the under nourished children of Bosnia
