More than 600 workers In various unions throughout the United States have “adopted” a refugee child in Europe under a plan sponsored by the Jewish Labor Committee, the organization revealed here this week-end.
Under the plan each of the benefactors contributes $300 toward the support of a child. Nearly 300 of the children are in private homes or institutions in Poland, a like number in France and the remainder are distributed in Belgium, Romania, Italy and Sweden. Over $180,000 has already been contributed to this project.
