Orphans Aided By Airmen 

AN AIRBASE IN KOREA-Korean war waifs in a Catholic Children's home recently received a donation of $127.50 from the "Top-Three-Grader" Club of the 10th Fighter Bomber Wing to be used to purchase food and clothing.

And presently on duty as chaplain with the 18th Fighter Bomber Wing and Father Peter Chyang (right) pastor of the Catholic Church in a nearby village, watch the proceedings.  Every month, the 18th's Top-Three Club sponsors a "nickel" night and all proceeds are turned over to children's orphanages in a nearby Korean village.
