"The next day ! was still broke
and hungry. ! inquired about work
and was told that practically every
body in the town was employed at
a lumber mill. / learned that the
boss always walked to work down a
certain street at a certain time.
got a good description of him and
waited behind bush. When he
came along, head down, immersed
in thought, ! popped up from the
bush, saying, My names Andrew
Kopp. I'm 13 years old, strong and
healthy, and / want to go to work
for you
This made the boss laugh. He
asked questions and said finally,
All right, kid. Report al the mill.
Il was paid four cents an hour
and put to work in the lathe de-
partment. But the lessons | learn
ed at the orphanage helped me
along in life and | was promoted
to bill clerk before my fifteenth
birthday! By then | was boarding
with fine, wholesome family, pay
ing my own way and making all
manner of plans for the future.
One of my plans was more like a
dream: someday | would return
to the orphanage and help needy
children with a gift. | have re-
mained a staunch Catholic and to'
day | still believe God bid me to
help motherless children.
"When word came to me at my
home in Huntington that money
was needed for a new orphanage
] said to myself God has been
good TO me. II is my turn now TO
give aid to those children.
"And God has been good to me
For | have reared three fine chil
dren of my own and am blessed
with eight grandchildren. | know
that God wishes all of us who have
received His help to return the
blessings by aiding unfortunate
people.
That's why am present at the
orphsnsee today. Before my God
am responding 10 duty"
And that is Mr.. Kopp's real life
story, minus some vital statistics
that he didn't bother to throw in
He didn't tell, for instance, that
he is vice.president in charge of
operations of the w. M. Ritter
Lumber Company, a Columbus
firm: or that he is a dean OF
American lumber men and has
the respect and admiration of lum,
ber men throughout the nation. He
chose not to mention that he was
president of railroad company
although he stole a ride ON a
freight as a kid. He never once eX.
planned that he was managing gi
gantic lumber mills at a time when
most lads his age were not dry be
hind the ears.
But he declared firmly that just
going down Main Street was not
the real avenue to success.
What he said was: ~ owe ev
erything have achieved 10 the
training got at the orphsnsse
Proper training was the true ave
nue. 10 success"

explained the quintuplets have
now reached an age where they
know their own needs and are able
to look after themselves.
Mr.. Dionne has told reporters
that he and his wife are leaving
the question of their future life
work entirely in the hands of the
quints. They have received a good
education and the parents are con-
fident they are in a position to
make their choice.

Magnificent Project >

It is based on good sound busi-
ness principles and represents the
quickest, most economical method
of securing the funds we require.
Many of us should investigate
thoroughly the income tax pro-
visions of the Federal Government
which will make it possible for
many to give even a larger gift
than first contemplated, keeping
always in mind that we should be
thinking in terms of how much we
can give to this wonderful cause
and not how little.
