WRA Dance Funds
To Aid Polish Orphan
Proceeds of the WRA Sweetheart Dance, to be held from 9 p.m.
to midnight Saturday in White Hall, will go for aid to Marie Aftanas,
a 13-year-old refugee Polish girl.
Maria, adopted by the Women’s Recreation Association through
the Foster Parent’s Plan for War Children, Inc., is the youngest of
three children. She and her two older brothers were born in Alex-
andria, Poland, where her father,
a fisherman, provided comfort
ably for his growing family. But
in July, 1941, he was seized by
a German patrol and taken away,
no one knows why. In spite of
unceasing efforts, no trace of him
has been found.
After the Ribbentrop-Molotov
agreement for population dis
persement, Maria, her mother,
and brothers were deported to a
farm in Germany to work as
slave-laborers. In the spring of
1945, after hours of long, hard,
work, the Aftanas family was lib
erated by American troops, and
they .were placed in a DP camp,
in the American zone.
Maria and her family are now
living in two rooms of an old
wooden barracks; the wooden
floors are bare, and there is no
running water. The furnishings
are old and broken down, and
there is only a small stove to keep
the shack heated. The family’s to
tal income after deductions for
light and fuel is $20.63 a month.
'Maria is a demure, serious little
girl with grey-green eyes and
long dark hair. After receiving a
package from WRA, Maria wrote
in her last letter, “I am very hap
py that my dear Foster Parents
do not forget me, and I believe
now that God has not forgotten
me.”
