OK, It's a Deal

AN AIR BASE IN KOREA-"You've talked me into it, Doc," are probably the words going around inside the head of this Korean waif, Cho No, who gets the apple from Capt. Ray A. Gusti, Mark, Ill., on one condition - he gets a bath in the bargain. Capt. Gusti, Medical Officer at a forward U.S. Army Clearing Company, found the 8 year old orphaned Cho in Korea. He was later evacuated in one of FEAF's 315^th Air Division (Combat Cargo) transports to an orphan's home in South Korea.

Korean Boy Walks Again

A NEW LEG FOR MARIO. . . Mario, a Korean orphan from the Catholic Orphanage in Pohang, Korea, has a new leg. After an accident necessitated amputating the orphan's right leg, the men of the First Marine Air Wing Headquarters Squadron collected money to buy him a new leg.

When the leg arrived from the United States, it had to be altered. Commander J.F. Fearan, USN, of Waltham, Mass., Catholic Chaplain for the Wing Headquarters Squadron, remembered the Sea Bee Boast that "They could do anything" and turned the job over to them. The "refitting" work was done in the Sea Bee carpenter shop attached to the wing and headed by Donald E. Patterson, builder seaman, of 1134 Washburn St., Topeka, Kan.). Doctor E.B. Stewart Laurinburg, N.C. assisted in the final fitting.

Taking care of some of the abandoned babies in the nursery of the Chonju Presbyterian Medical Center, in Southwestern Korea is Head Nurse Mrs. Frank Keller. The U.S. Economic Assistance program is making available 50 grams of milk powder each day to each of these children and to all other boys and girls in orphanages and similar welfare institutions in the Republic of Korea. Of the 162 orphans taken care of by this hospital since 1950, 112 have been adopted into homes.
