Stars and Stripes, Apr. 23, 1952
HQ, FEAF-Another example of kindness
toward Korean orphans is the monthly donation of clothing, food
and toys being sent to an orphanage at Seoul, by a U.S. Air Force
master sergeant and his wife. The orphans' benefactors are M/Sgt.
and Mrs. Joseph I. Hilelson, Sherman Oaks, Calif. The sergeant
and his wife presently reside near an air base in the Tokyo area
where the sergeant is assigned.
EACH MONTH the couple acts as a clearing house
for many articles of clothing and boxes of food which have been
gathered through their efforts and the efforts of their friends
on the base. Many such articles have been sent to the Hilelsons
from their acquaintances in the States. With these donations go
dozens of cookies baked each month by Mrs. Hilelson. The couple
distributes the clothing and food to the Young Sang Orphanage, Yongdongpo
near Seoul, and the sergeant and his wife are assisted in the operation
by cargo transports of FEAF's 315th Air Division on the
Korean airlift.
