Finally the day arrived for our visit to Maubuisson.- The- Bar¬ eness do Rothschild had-called us several tlnies before and, irt- vited us to a formal dinner par¬ ty she was giving. It was to be a veVy ,gay and Social affair and the proceeds to be used for Mau¬ buisson, We could not attend ,a8 It was the night we were leaving for Switzerland, Upon our return the Baroness called for us iri her liny Frsnch car. Mr. Goldsoll "folded up" In the frbnt seat and I sat In thp rum¬ ble seal with her Swl^ secre¬ tary who, thank goodness, spoke Enjglish,
Hanging out the truck com¬ partment were the big boxes of 250 candy bars and 20 cartons of gum we had -irought from America. Maubuisson   is   about

40 kilometers from Paris, situat¬ ed among many acres of beauti¬ ful trees and rolling hills. The air is delightful wllb sweet coun¬ try smells. During the war the Germans occupied this home and destroyed most of the buildings, Ijurned the furnishings, even took out all the nails, .The water maln.s were ruined so water can¬ not be used for growing fruits and vegetables and although there is a grand gardener and handy man on the place, he has lieen unable to grow, anything.
On our arrival at the front gate it was locked tight and the blowing of horns and calling loudly got us nowhere, in the caretakers house at. the gate lives a dreadful family of Frenc,h collaboraters who moved in at the Nazi occupation and refuse to move out. They pay no rent and the Baroness is helpless in pulling them out as they have seven children. The French gov¬ ernment will not evict any family with five children or more;. There they sat laughing and gawking at'Us and refusing 10 budge. So we drove arounjl over, bumps and into ditches ^In the back fields until we found another gate.
I was delighted to see two cows grazing in the fields but the Baroness said that although a kindly neighbor had lotined the cows to the boys, they would have to be returned as they gave no milk and were eating every¬ thing up. When we walked Into the large playground there were the children playing ball games and anxiously awaiting our visit. They had come home from tlie country public school and were a|l cleaned up. They crowd¬ ed around us and eyed the big
cartons the two oide'i* boys were carrying in and they knew a treat was in store for them.
.The boys stood in line and pue- sented themselves to us, shaking hands and' mentioning their names. They pMlled al the sweat¬ ers and Jackets and in French said, "See, this is from a Cplum- bus lady, please say thanks for me."
"They all were dressed in cloth¬ ing from the 'Co'lumbus Council section and although t.hey can¬ not speak any English 'they can all say "Columbus, Ohio," and they lipow it very well. 1 spoke to the boy who had sent. ;i painting lo Ihe Columbus sec¬ tion. He is very bright and they expect he might do some:thlng with his talent. Two or three other older boys ate oustandlng and brilliant. Mr. Goldsoll spoke French to them and they ii^vlted him to. play ball -with Ihe team. He tried taking movies and the boys were fascinated with the camera as none of Jhem had ever seen one before. They showed iis all the playground equipment you had sent them and wete u.s- ing the balls, bats, gloves' that afternoon.   ,
Fifty boys were home the day we visited, all happy, grand looking boys, no different than other Frenth youths with par- ent-s- They are treated well and now at the public school^ where they go every day, the children are nice, to them. When they first started to school their ap¬ pearance was so ragged that the chlidren would have nothing lo do with them. Thanks to you this no longer exists. The main buildirig where the boys live Is very dilapidated, but In the base- (ContlnoMl on Page S)

B'nai B'rith Women Aid Ghildren^s Home, Hillel
Among the important ventures supported by the B'nai B'rith Women during the year are the Hillel Foreign Student Service and the Children's Home in Israel. The former, a phase of the work of the Hillel Foundation which promotes cultural ahd re¬ ligious activities among Jewish students on 193. American cam¬ puses (visit your local Hillel Foundation at OSU for concrete proof of this .splendid program! has brought 82 students lo this country since the end of World War II. Many are from dis¬ placed persons camps.
A rehabilitation home for youngsters- who were formerly languishing In D.P, camps or who have suffered as a result of the Arab-Jewish warfare is the Children's Home in Israel, in which not only-custodial care, but the help of the expert psy- chologlsl>s, is offered • for reha- bllltation.
When a national publication like Look ihagazlne in its Sept. 13'LsBue publicizes and lauds an institution like the National .lewish Hospital at Denver, you may be a,ssured B'nai B'rith is not making any idle boasts about its pliiipntlv'opies. Quoting from Look: ."Love of-fellow man is the guiding, principle liehind the National .lewish Hospilal at Den¬ ver; 115% of the patients are non- Jewish, aad through 50 years of tuberculosis treatment and re¬ search, no. patient has been al¬ lowed to payf all are made to feel like honoretl guests. Such a program of service to mankipd has ga'ined the hospital a. World¬ wide reputation."
These words, si)oken at the dedii'iitlon ceremony of tho Hos¬ pital <i-re worthy of repetition: "I'ain knows no creed . . and so IS this building the prototype of the grand idea of Judaism, which casts aside no stranger, no mailer what race or bjootj . , ^. VVe consecrate this structure to humanity, to our suffering fel- lo.w jnen, regardless of creed". The slogan over the door reads "None may enter \vho can pay ,   ,   . none Ciin pay whq enter."
