Smokes for the Winter. In normal times the Albanian mountaineer is sufficient unto himself. There is little he wants from outside the world. In this picture can be seen home-grown tobacco hanging on the walls to dry. It is saved for the long winter nights when the whole family lives in one room for months. This is a typical mountain home upon which American Red Cross nurses call in their relief work in the Balkans. It is the first outside aid they have ever received and they look upon America as a nation that produces nothing but fairy-godmothers, who go about the world helping others
