PICO The First Hundred There are five little kids in France, England, Greece and Italy who look to a certain hundred guys and gals here at Twentieth Century-Fox Studio with hope and gratitude for giving them a chance to overcome the handicap of having been born in an occupied country during World War II. And it’s been quite a handicap. In some cases it’s meant having both parents shipped away never to return; a boy seeing his father shot before his eyes; the loss of an arm, a leg, or both — eyesight in many cases, by mines hidden in back yards or in the fields where children play; sleeping in caves; internment in concentration camps; hunger and disease and, worst of all, having no one to turn to. Through the Foster Parents Plan for War Children, Inc., 55 West 42nd Street, New York 18, New York, one hundred TCF employees in groups of twenty each have “adopted” five of these war children. Each month a check for $15 goes off from each group to assure its child nourishing food, warm clothing, and the feeling that someone cares what happens to him. The extra $5 is put aside until enough has been collected to pay for a pair of shoes, a sweater, some powdered whole milk. It’s a lot of fun packing a box with such American “wonders” as toothpaste and soap for a child who has never had these luxuries before. Letters from their American “foster parents” are treasured by these innocent little victims of war and they write back painstakingly neat little messages in their native tongues, which are translated in the New York Office. In November Hanka Traub was brought to America by the Plan to help launch its 15th Anniversary Membership Drive. She visited her “parents” here at the studio (a group headed by Ethel Murphy of Tabulating) and had her picture taken with Tyrone Power. Some of you saw her. When you remember the little girl with the big smile remember her case history: Rescued from the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, parents believed exterminated, numbers, tattooed on her arm, no name, no date of birth. For a long time Hanka didn’t speak and it was feared she would never be normal again because of what she had witnessed. The love and care and support of her American friends made a big difference in this case, as it has in hundreds of others. We hundred F. P.’s each feel we get more value out of our dollar a month than any other part of our check. A lot of other people feel the same way and that’s why today we’re starting on our second hundred. — Wanda Whitman.
