Bridge To France Hales Adopt French Village For Friendship
SANTA BARBARA Calif 4 Girard and Kathleen Hale set a pattern in international friendship by adopting a war wrecked French village near Tours Maille. Since August 1944 villagers suffered German reprisal death and mass destruction. The Hales funded church and school refurnishing and sent 7000 items while stressing personal ties over charity.
