The project closes at the end of July. From the June World Call a letter was read from Barbara Farmer, missionary to Puerto Rico, entitled "Not Just Ordinary Boxes."

Woman Worth $200,000 Lives Life Of Squalor PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-OP) Authorities today awaited a court order permitting an inten sified search of a home where they said a woman recluse lived like a beggar despite the fortune at her command. A preliminary survey of the cluttered building yesterday re vealed the woman was worth at least $200,000, authorities esti mated, but she chose to live on a semistarvation diet of bread and milk. The woman, Mrs. Catherine S. Ritter, 79, was found dead Sun day on her trash-blanketed bed. The house was crammed with rubbish and litter. Police said they suspected that somewhere in the maze would be found a clue to the whereabouts of possibly $100,000 Mrs. Ritter if believed to have hidden away. Police said rents collected from tenants of some 14 houses sh'j, owned were brought to her regu larly. Neighbors told the investi gators they knew virtually noth ing of the woman except that she used a tiny vestibule as an "of fice" from which she conducted her outside contacts. About two weeks ago two neighbors related Mrs. Ritter had opened the front door and sent them to a store to buy her bread and milk. But it was at least a year since anyone had seen her emerge from her home. The investigation of Mrs. Rit ter's death was started by neigh bors who complained of "odors" emitting from the house. Police broke into the house and found the woman's body. They said she had been dead "about three or four days." Death was attributed to "natural causes."
