Fred Holcombe Helps
Orphans In S. Korea
Being both a humanitarian and
a soldier might seem a bit un
usual, but 1st Lt. Fred Holcombe,
native of Clinton, somehow finds
time to be both. Stationed at
the 1st Base Post Office at In
chon, Korea, Lt Holcombe takes
time off from his duties to help
a good cause. He, along with
the men and officers of his com
pany, contribute financial support
and a good deal of hard work
in helping one-hundred Kf*ean
orphans.
The Bolame Orphanage, lo
cated at Incon, is sponsored by
the 1st Base Post Office. With
out the orphanage approximately
54 girls and 48 boys between the
ages of one and 15 would find
life a rather cruel affair. Re
cently, wit h the efforts of the
men of the company, a new three
story dormitory was built to
house the children. The dorm
itory also contains a chapel, kit
chen and dining room facilities.
Throughout the year the unit has
organized many worthwhile pro-
7>v.v/.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.\\v.\v.
jects, such as a picnic to Song-
Do Beach in July, a trip to the
Seoul Zoo in August, and a Christ
mas party last December. At
the Christmas party many of the
children were introduced to an
American style Santa Claus for
the first time, and while the tra
dition of Christmas was perhaps
strange to the children, the spi
rit of kindness and giving was
there.
There can be no doubt that
the children of the orphanage
appreciate what is being done for
them. As for the men of the
company, they realize the impor
tance of their support. As one
soldier put it, “These kids lead
a hard life, and it makes a guy
feel good to give them a hand”,
^puld anyone wish to give the
cnildren*6upport, any contribu
tion (clothing, food, or financial
assistance in the form of check
or money order) will be great
ly appreciated. Forward in care
of: Custodian of Bolame Orphan
age Fund, 1st Base Post Office,
APO San Francisco 96571.
INTERESTING FACTS
By Tom Plaxico
Can you imagine looking up and seeing—not
one—but 12 different moons in the sky.
One planet in our solar system does indeed
have 12 moons.
The planet with 12 moons going around it is
Jupiter. And 4 other planets have more than one
moon.
Saturn has 9 moons, Uranus has 5 and Nep
tune and Mars each have 2 moons.
On the other hand, 3 planets—Mercury, Ve
nus and Pluto—have no moons at all.
And, here’s another interesting fact . . .
Sales on our 1970 models have started out like
a moon shot. Consequently, we have on hand some
wonderful buys in one owner, local, extra clean
