March, 1951 - A Small Korean war orphan gets help from Capt. George N. Metcalf, Wheaton, Illinois, (in plane) and Lt. Col. Dean Hess, Marietta, Ohio, as he climbs down from a plane after being presented with a package full of toys from the United States. A plane load of toys, food, and clothing was recently flown to the more than 800 war orphans housed on the island of Cheju-do, 75 miles off Korea's south coast. The orphanage formerly sponsored by the Fifth Air Force is now under control of the Republic of Korea, but bundles from well-wishers in the United States continue to pour in for the orphans.
