That These Might Live • THESE CASE WORKERS give indefatigably of t h e i r time. House w ive s, businesswomen, mothers, they often neglected their own families to minister to the unfortunate. Their reward is the knowledge that they have perhaps saved a life and certainly given some child a decent start in life. Often the workers go beyond their linos of simple duty to see a case through an emergency. In one ease. a refugee from Casa Blanca was deserted- by her ex- G.I. husband, shortly after she arrived la the United States. THE GIRL, WHO WAS preg- nant, was turned away by the husband's parents and left to shift f"r herself in a strange world.

She rushes down to the home to discover that the child is hungry and only wants to he fed p little ahead of schedule. She explains to the anxious parents and the lines of worry and anxiety disappear. The case worker feeds the baby and than returns to her own home where the family is also awaiting breakfast. Such a minor crisis is routine to members of the Infants Serv- ice Group, an organization of 150 women who devote their time and money to aid infants whose families are designated as in need of care by Detroit clubs, the Jewish Social Service Bureau or other organized charities. • • • THE INFANTS Service Group began 15 years ago as a memorial to a child that died. The original members sought out indigent families who needed food or elothine for their children. They then went about finding donors who supplied them with the articles, or earned the money to purchase them through ba- zaars, dances and teas. As the organization is set up today, the case chairman checks the source of information a n d turns the family over to a worker who becomes responsible for at- tending to the needs of all chil dren under two in the family. • • BBYOutlook DURING ANOTHER seminar, given the next day.
