Thank Given Sixty-year-old Nlnl Langl of Wald Im Pincgau, Austria, writes In halt ing English, "Without the help from your land and the good, good Amer ican people we all would have died long since. We cannot be enough grateful for what they did for us ... I am so glad that you didn't forget us. That Is the only good of this terrible war that we found friends In your land. ... It was lovely of you to send the dress. I cannot say to you how much I have been enjoying it. You and your hap py land you cannot understand what it Is since almost nine years to have almost nothing new: no dress, no stockings, no shoes, no nothing. We are so happy that you have had things enough but most of our people are almost without the most necessities of life. Many children cannot get to school in the winter because they have no shoes. Young married people have no house, no furniture, no plate, no knife and fork. Only until now there is nothing for us to buy." The Mah-kah-wee Camp Fire troop of Roosevelt neighborhood with Mrs. Lin Miles as leader real ized this need and decided to use money in their treasury for a CARE package. Girls in this troop are Sue Bevlns. Jean Adams, Diane Olden burg, Jana Langslet. Sharon Miles. Marlene Owens, Blanche Owens, CARE Service Opens In Klamath ' 1 " ' ' ....
