came a juvenile delinquent at a
tender age.

Thomas H. Brunjes, 103 S. Eighth street, is glad for two reasons
he solicited Rep. J. Bayard Clark’s help when Rep. Clark visited
Wilmington last month. Both reasons are shown here: One is his son,
sitting on his lap, the other is his wife, pretty Mrs. Iris O. Brunjes
of Essex, England. Although she married Brunjes in 1943 and he
returned home and was discharged in 1945, Mrs. Brunjes encountered
countless delays in her efforts to join her husband here until Brunjes
told Rep. Clark of the case. Rep. Clark got busy in Washington and
this month Mrs. Brunjes arrived in Wilmington.
