ministration and have conducted food
kitchens and distributing stations in
all parts of Poland outside Warsaw.

Europe, that Of the Polish Grays has
been unique because all the girls,

born in Poland or are Of Polish paren
tAge. When the need for social serv-
Ice In their country became acute

group thirty~glrls were chosen and sent

been caring for the children Of the
country. The distribution Of clothing
has taken them into all parts Of
Poland.

time in arranging for the feeding of
