erishly she prattled:
"But why seide, do you burn
the candle here? This is Amer-
ica. The streets are lit by electric
lights. There are no lost wander-
ers in American cities."
"Oi Mashinka, if only you were
right." The old man reached for
his handkerchief, blew his nose
violently, wiped the tear of rem-
iniscence from his eyes.
"Oi teirenke, the world is filled
with wanderers. Even here there

Spacious sun - drenched lawns
and green trees, with mountains
rising dimly in the background
and a panorama of Rome itself
stretched out in the distance —
this is the setting for one of the
best known JDC installations in
Italy.
Servicing refugees and Italian
Jews, the center is situated in a
graceful seventeen-room mansion
with nine bathrooms and an out-
door swimming pool, forming a
vivid contrast to the dark, over-
crowded displaced persons' camps
most of the patients have known.
