"Just bring them hack to America for a few days' Cpl. Carlton W. Lutz, eon of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lub, 2824 Edwards says.

"That will care them. You can't appreciate whjt this country means to you until you've been away. It's a wonderful feeling." Cpl.

On to Chicago A mother and her war-wounded son were expected to be reunited over the weekend after the mother, Mrs. Clyde Dickerson.

2203 Salu spent a hectic day Friday explaining to many sympathetic people that her family was not destitute. "I got dozens of calls," Mrs. Dickerson said, "and many offered me laundry jobs which I will take care of when I get back." Enough callers gave direct as- sistajice which has taken care of her problem. Mrs. Dickerson believed she would go to Great Lakes Hospital today to visit her son, Pfc.

George Dickerson, severely wounded in the Battle of Bunker Hill in Korea last spring and flown this week from Japan to Great Lakes. Mrs. Dickerson inserted an ad in "Situations Wanted" section of the Telegraph for laundry work last week. A reporter checking the story behind the ad learned that she was attempting to earn enough money to get her to Great Lakes where she could visit her son. "A lot of people didn't understand," she said, "that our family is not starving.

I wanted no food, which was offered me, I wanted to earn money by extra work so by the expense of gelling to my son I would not cause any unnecessary financial hardship at home." Mrs. Dickerson said it was never her purpose to ask for charity although many of the callers were kind enough to offer it and she was thankful to them. Enough people offered this assistance to make the trip to Chicago, where she will have to stay while visiting her son, a reality. The soldier was struck by shrapnel in heavy action on the front and wounded in the lower part of the body and the head. Offers of assistance came from many quarters and others had jobs for her to do when she returned.

This she would cherish, she said, as she knew she would want to see her son many times more while he is in the hospital. Other persons called the Telegraph and one said that they had made arrangements with the American Red Cross to talk over the problem with Mrs. Dickerson. Mrs. Dickerson was overwhelmed by the demonstration and her comment was, "There are so many warm-hearted people in Alton." She said she has enough to take carfe of her problem now and she needs no further help.

She is thankful to those who came forward to offer it.
