Recently, Mrs. Lumley tolG
her Blue Star Mothers group
that the soldiers were buying
candy for the orphans. The fol-

from here:
Dear Mrs. Lumley,

! would like to thank you and the
Blue Star Mothers of East Cleve-
land very much for thinking about
the less fortunate children of the
I am sorry, but l did not spend
the money for candy as you re-
quested. The Korean orphans can
use Hwan (money exchange) for
food more than for candy. | ex-
changed your $40 for 5000 Hwan
which will buy food (rice) enough
for 100 children for 2-3 weeks.
/ would like to give you back
ground of the problem in Korea

Advisory Group in Taegu, Korea.
We have some 60 orphanages TAX
ing care of 5000 orphans. These
orphanages get very little or no
help from the Korean government.
They welcome all the help they
can get.
The children live and eat very
poorly. They get some medical at
tention from the American doctors
who pass around once a month.
II your club would like to do
any more for them, we are hav-
ing a Christmas orphans party in
December. You can send your con-
tributions to:

Please just send clothing, toys,

Let me thank you for all you
have done. Your hearts are in the

keep you all safe.
Yours truly,

The Zoning Board is not fooling
around with folks who fail to hive
up to requirements of the rooming
house ordinance. There is too much
at stake in the way Of safety and
health.
Most Of us are we'll provided for.
We don't have to worry much
about taking care of our own or
our family needs physically or
mentally. But there are those who
must be helped. Your concern in
action equals gift to Community

II winter comes, can spring be
far behind. And spring will be un-
usually beautiful in Forest Hills
Park next year. This week the city

already beautiful spot-the gift of

so lovely a gift. East Cleveland
can be a City Beautiful if its
residents will it to be.
