Chaplains Struggle To Feed Korean Waifs On Island
U S Fifth Air Force chaplains in Korea run a large orphan project on Cheju Island for 885 children, spending about 135000 won daily for food and fuel. Despite gifts and evacuations, the operation costs reach around $40 a day per donor, with no government support. Col. Russell L Blaisdell leads the effort, seeking funds as they prepare to hand the project to the South Korean government.
