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.

A Los Angeles woman who

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

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."
