fear of the Turk and under the care Of
American men and women.
Most of the children are cared for in
90 American supported orphanages.
The first ceremony in receiving these
starved, almost naked children, is to
clean them up. They are not only ema-

But the children keep changing. Last

parentless exiles. From their scant

portion In small bag about their
necks-they fear the day Of another
killing, another drive Into the desert.
They horde the shoes sent from
America until snow fiies-they remem-
ber their barefoot pain In the SHOWS
last spring.
They cling to their new found
friends. Every day other little waits
find place In the orphanages and are
told of the generous people of the
