! I TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) Thousands of Children Aided Through Foster By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) A legless boy in Greece now walks be cause of the generosity of a California couple. A little girl in Italy had food, clothing and medicine because of the nickels, dimes and quar ters donated by inmates of a Michigan reformatory. A small boy in a Korean or phanage not only is fed and clothed, but has become a local celebrity because of Bing Crosby. These are some of the chil dren in war-hit countries helped through a non-profit, non-propaganda, relief agency which this month observes its 20th anni versary. It is Foster Parents' Plan, born during the Spanish Civil War, and at present sending aid to children in England, Holland, France, West Germany, Italy, Greece, Belgium and Viet Nam. No Communist Countries FPP once operated in Czecho slovakia, Poland and China, but has been forced out by Commu nist regimes, said Mrs. Lenore Sorin, associate director. In 20 years, Mrs. Sorin said. 600,000 Americans have aided 76,000 children of 26 nationali ties. At present, 11,000 children are on its rolls. Foster Parents "adopt" a child financially, not legally. Each pledges to send at least S15 each month toward support of the child. But a look through the records at the plan's general headquarters in New York shows that much more than money is sent. The "parents" correspond regularly with the children; their little charges answer just as regularly. Extra Help for Children Some parents become so inter ested in their children that cloth ing, food, Christmas, birthday and other gifts are sent.- Mrs. Sorin said a couple from Connecticut put their "son" in business when he turned 18. The same couple has a "daugh ter" whom they will provide with a dowry. A Chicago advertising man purchased a flock of sheep so his adopted son in Greece even tually could be self-supporting. P. D. Adler, publisher of the Davenport, Iowa, Times, has aided several foster children. Fifteen-hundred grade school youngsters in the Bronx donate a penny each, each month, to help one child. The crew of a Navy destroyer is supporting another. gtfjet Happy Boy A woman in Vermont "gave" &rj foster children to her Mok your hipt smaller emoxing NEW EASY way at hem.

Kdo)s MAIL TRIBUNE Parents Plan three grandsons for Christmas. A Los Angeles woman who adopted an Italian girl said "we progressed from dolls to saddle shoes. Now I am sending her a wedding present." Dozens of celebrities are foster parents, although Mrs. Sorin said the great majority are "just Mr. and Mrs. John Doe of Paint ed Post, Ark." Bing Crosby is foster father of Lee Sang Chul, a third grader in a Korean orphanage. "Almost all of the Korean (sic) know you well," Lee re cently wrote Bing. "When I walk about the street, many peo ple point out me and talk in whispers, that boy is Mr. Bing Crosby's foster son. As you are very famous, I became famously too. I think I am the happiest boy of the world."
