Saved Lives of Many Americans by a Young Messenger
Joel Pierce, 15, served as a messenger for the French underground and helped relay BBC code messages, saving 185 American airmen in France. Orphans, he and a girl from his village, join wartime aid appeals as Washtenaw County and Saline organize drives. The county library project and postwar exhibit notes follow, with a social gathering and plans for library space. Sun-cured raisins note California production.
