All the food in that big CARE package brings a happy grin of]
anticipation to six-year-old Ivana Pierleoni, Italian war orphan. j
Ivana Pierleoni was only a few
months old when her father was
executed by a Nazi firing squad.
His crime: He was a member of
the Italian underground resist
ance movement.
Today Ivana, her brother and
sister, Gabriella, nine, live with
their mother in one squalid room
in Rome. As the widow of a
resistance soldier, Ivana’s mother
receives a $9 monthly govern
mental pension. She earns an
other $62 a month by working as
a charwoman in a hospital.
' A totdl monthly income of s7l
is far from enough to keep the
family going. Lunch for the Pier
leoni children is soup and a crust
of bread. Dinner is a few vege
tables. Meat? Ivana had scarcely
tasted it until a $lO CARE food
package was delivered to her
home.
The Pierleonis are one of more
than 200 needy cases^ urgently
recommended for help in reports
recently received at CARE’s New
York headquarters from its mis
sion chiefs in Europe and Asia.
Most of the cases are welfare in
stitutions —orphanages, hospitals,
schools —which need the supplies
in CARE’s $4-to-$13.50 food and
textile packages in order to carry
on their vital work.
^“But CARE can’t bring help
You all heard or read about these
newfangled spinner reels what
even lures the littte fishes right
out of school and ketches em ?
Well ! Roy Cannon has invented
sumpin way far better for terr
apin. he uses a double barrel full
choke hammerless, 12 gauge shot
gun and says 7 or 8 direct or near
hits with No. 4 shot will subdue
the most vicious terrapin every
time, sometimes right ? Roy,
unless Americans send it,” Paul
Comly French, Executive Director
of the non-profit agency, pointed
out in an appeal for orders to aid
the “needy cases” list. t '
Typical of the institutions is
Rizal Boys’ Town, in the Philip
pines, whose food and clothing ;
allotment is only 20c per day for j
each of its 225 boys . . . the
American Mission Girls’ Boarding '
School in Montgomery, Pakistan,
which needs sheets and pillow
cases ... the Saint-Jans-Cappel
Preventorium, near Lille, France,
which is trying to save 80 under
nourished boys from tuberculosis.
