One of the most deeply i'm
pressed members of the group
was Corrado Melega, exchange
student from Italy, who said,
when asked his reaction to the
trip: This has been another of
the exciting and interesting ex-
periences which l can add to
my list since | have been in
this country. Because I've never
been in a big library before, |

$50 a Month
Like the other foster parents
the Careys receive $50 a month
from the Child Welfare Di-
vision for each of their foster
children, in addition to clothing
and medical aid.
Despite the many families
like the Careys, some of whom
have taken as many as five
foster children, the District has
2l5 foster children who need
homes.
AS Bernard Phifer, a case
worker, says. the ultimate
goal is to get them back to
their own parents" but some
times this is impossible.
The big obstacle to placing
foster children, according to
Mrs. Jean Groner, a case
worker. is that whenever peo-
pie think of foster children,
they think of delinquents. -
But she says:
If the child comes to us
early enough, we can break the
cycle of delinquency-and it's
much cheaper this way"

less its plans start material
izing.

to the hospital foundation
trustees, reminded the grol;p
that the 20.2-acre site at Thir-
teenth street and Southern
avenue was turned over with
the understanding that con-
struction would be started
within l8 months. The site was
given to the group in Octo-
Der, 1858.
Steps would have to be taken,
the HEW letter said, to recover
the site unless some specific
plan for its use for health pur-
poses is made Immediately.
Foundation officials have said
they will ask for an extension
of time.
So far the group has raised
S530,000 toward the cost of The
250-bed hospital.
The foundation trustees had
voted to turn all of its assets
over to the Felician Order of
Sisters. a Catholic order, to
build and operate the hospital,
but the general membership
turned this proposal down.

Foster Porents Share
Experiences in PorIey

Mrs. Willis Carey's two foster
sons started to get ready long
before Mothers Day.
At Carver School in Purcell
vile, Va, they worked together
and made her a great big card.
From the money they earned
by working around the house
they saved Is cents each and
carefully wrapped it in tissue
paper as a gift.
But to Mrs. Carey the card
was best of all, because inside
it the boys had written:
For the best mother in the
world"
Along with nearly so other
foster parents from Maryland,
the District and Virginia, Mr..
and Mrs. Carey went to the

Mr.. Carey, 81, became an indie
pendent cab driver.
With her own son, Willis, jr.,
a grown man with three chill
dren, and her husband at work
in his cab, Mrs. Carey soon
found their Purcellville home a
bit lonesome.
There wasn't a soul there
IN those six rooms except me, "
she said, explaining why she
and her husband decided to
apply as foster parents.
The Careys' foster sons, like
many children placed in homes
