The donations have been obtained from'the .proceeds of the dance, whichis'an annual girl ask boy affair.with tickets priced at ?l.pO per couple'.: . Josiane Macquei. a-ien year " old French girl, was the first war child to be benefited by the WRA donation. As a result of bombing, raids, -her mother died and her father was serious ly injured. Josiane, her older brother, and younger twin brother and sister, were put with their grandmother, who was unable to care for them financially. The Macquet chil dren suffered during the Occu pation, and it was in the years . 1946-47 that the WRA gave aid to Josiane and the rest of her family. As a result, .this shy, blue-eyed child and her brothers and sister have adequate cloth ing, fbod, and shelter.. In 1948-49 the WRA adopted I ireta Pasztual, a Polish girl of 13. Ireta was one of five children living happily in Dublin when war brought disaster to the family. Her father, a government worker in the post office department, dis appeared and was assumed dead, and her mother was killed in 1940 during the invasion of Poland. Ireta, with her two younger sis ters, was placed in her aunt’s home after the disappearance of her two oldest sisters. The brown-eyed blonde girl was then- stricken 'with paralysis which crippled ' her. ' The money sent to her by WRA provided her with proper orthopedic shoes, and enabled her to later enter a I trade school in Poland. Owens joined with WRA in 1950-51 to aid Theodora Anna Buurman, a ten year old Dutch war orphan. This child was as signed to the two groups by the Foster Parents' Plan, Inc., who suggested that the extra'money not needed by Ireta be spent to aid Theodora. . Thea ; . her two brothers and,two now live with an aunt in Holland. Their mother was killed during the war. and ftheir father-'died less-than-;a -year' later after being forced to' go ,to Ger many. Owens have sent Thea enough money orders, food, and clothing to enable her to pro vide not only for herself but for the entire family.
