Mrs. Evans keeps the little sweet and cigarette shop in the village. She's been looking after her 'evacuee' for over six months. Extra work? Yes, Johnnie's been a handful! .... but she knows she has done the right thing. And think of all the people who have cause to be thanking Mrs. Evans. First, young Johnnie himself. He's out of a danger zone - where desperate peril may come at any minute. And he's healthier and happier and better-behaved now. Perhaps he doesn't say it but he certainly means 'Thank you, Mrs. Evans'. Then his parents. Think of what it means to them! 'Whatever happens Johnnie is safe. And with such a dear motherly soul, too. We often say 'Bless you, Mrs. Evans'.' The Government too is grateful to Mrs. Evans - and to all the 300,000 others who are looking after evacuated children. But many new volunteers are needed - to share the present burden, and to prepare for any crisis that may come. Won't you be one of them? You may be saving another Johnnie's life. The Minister of Health, who has been entrusted by the Government with the conduct of evacuation, asks you urgently to join the Roll of those who are willing to receive children. Please apply to your local Council.
