Taro Leaf Orphan Not Forgotten

HQ., 24^TH DIV., Korea-Maj. Gen. Mark McClure, 24^th Div. commander, officially turned over the $55,000 Taro Leaf Orphanage Sunday to Lt. Gen. Song Yo Chan, chief of the (. . . ?. . . ) ROK Corps.  However, troops of the Japanese bound division will continue to support the orphanage by sending contributions through a U.S. organization that will supervise the orphanage.

 

Originally supported by the 34^th Inf. Regt. and later by the entire division, construction of the three buildings was completed Nov. 20.  The Taro men have provided the 60 orphans with a Quonset chapel, cement and stone main building and an administration building.
