Lone Priest Tends
To Worried Flock
On Quemoy Island

TAIPEI, Formosa - NC) -
While the battle for the off-shore
islands held by Chinese National
lists makes world headlines, a lone
priest ministers to the people on
Quemoy-the largest of the islands
involved, a few miles from the Red
held port of Annoy.
Father Joseph Druetto is a
tough, bearded Frenchman. In 1891
he went to Human and stayed with
his people all during the Chinese
Japanese war, hiding in the hills.
He carried on his work until 1851
when he was arrested by the Chi
nese Reds, kept in Jail for eight
months and then deported.
Now he is caring for the Catholic
people, for soldiers and their de-
pendents on Quemoy. His Mass kit
includes a chalice given him by an
American.
Meanwhile, word has been re-
ceived here that about 100000
pounds of food. all in the form of
American relief packages, was de-
stroyed when the communists
bombed the off-shore Tachen is
lands, about 200 miles north of
Formosa. The food, sent through
War Relief Services - National
Catholic Welfare Conference, was
to be distributed to the needy on
the islands.
The people here, ever thinking
of freeing the Chinese mainland
from communist control, consider
the off-shore islands as stepping
stones for an invasion Of the con-
tinent. There is fear of "sell-out"
by Nationalist Chins's allies. These
fears are heightened when the Chi
nese on Formoss hear reports of
foreign statesmen talking about the
''two Chinas."
