Kathleen's Stockings
Cincinnati Ennuirerl

tCinclnnatl EnQuuer)
 We know of 16 16000000-and probably more-An- ercan women who wish they were the sisters of the Mayor of New York City. For Mayor ODwyers sister Kathleen returning to her native County Mayo lew days back, stopped at an Fire airport for ques- tioning her luggage officials found 527 palrs of nylon stockingsl Of course, as 1t turned out, MISS Kathleen forced to pay considerable duty and the 054 bits of lush hose became the property o1 the Government of Fire We presume, however, that a lady who could come by 527 pairs of stockings at one fell swoop wouldn't have much trouble digging up . few more for her personal use Hence we deouce that she is the envy of most American gals
 It would be most interesting, even for a mere male to know how Kathleen came by her stockings. She says they were to be delivered to a merchant whom she believed had an import license. But 1t strange the Mayors sister would be acting as transportation agent for dry goods.
 Could be, of course that her official connection with the New York City administration had something to do with it. Could be that some hosiery manu- facturer had something he wanted-or didn't want done That seems a low and ugly thought for us to have but we understand such things have been done in politics in New York and elsewhere.
 Anyhow, if Mayor ODwyer and Sister Kathleen had wanted us keep quiet they should have told us They should have told us lots of things Among them the source of the nylons!

Children of

 NEW YORK The thing that impressed me most about the children I saw in Europe was their terrible heart hunger = their need for love" said Edna Blue, who had just returned from a two months trip to Europe.
 Mrs. Blue is executive chairman of the Foster Parents Plan for War Children, Inc, which has car cd for 10000 European youngsters who have suffered as a result of the war. She visited 56 projects which the plan operates to care for children of all nationalities in England, Holland, France, Belgium Italy and Malta
 Many of the youngsters, espe- cially those who have no family, are high-strung and extremely af- fectionate," Mrs. Blue said They throw their arms around you, hang onto your hands and cover it with kisses. They go on and on and can't seem to stop. Their behavior isn't normal, of course, but il shows how great their heart hunger is. They are generous and thought ful toward one another, too

 Another thing which impress ed me was the evidence I saw ot the human need for possessions. We all hear people say, I don't want tc be tied down by possessions.

 ''The children think and talk about America necessarily. The good will that the care of these children has engendered is tremendous. I overheard one Foster Plan boy-an English lad of 14-say, All l do is hear talk about Americans. How they put over this and that and the other thing Airways and things like that. I'll never fall for it. Mo- body can tell me Americans are not honest and generous. Because I can prove they are
 The Foster Parents Plan was founded during the Spanish Civil war to care for Spanish children whom the war rendered homeless. In 1887 Mrs. Blue helped found the American Committee, which in- cludes among it's sponsors Mrs. Harry Truman and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. When World War II broke out the plan extended its scope to other countries.
 Originally the children were rounded up and housed in empty country castles. Today every effort it made to place child in foster home or care for him in his own. Every case is investigated by local authorities before it is undertaken.
 Those who support the plan sub scribe SIS a month for at least one year. They include many schools universities, SororitieS and other groups as well as individuals Each foster parent" (whether in Idividual or group is assigned a special child and receives his his tory and picture. The money they give is spent for food, clothing medical care or whatever else the child needs. In addition the foster parent is expected to see that the child gets birthday and Christmas presents and at least one letter 8 month.
