During the visit of U. S. S. DELTA CAR-9D to Moji, Japan to participate in the annual Port Festival of that city on May 13-15, volunteer members of the DELTA crew went all out to paint and do general repair work atvthe TENSHINEN Orphanage. LCDR P. L. J. BRADFORD, DELTA,s senior Dental Ofncer, learned of the orphanageis needs through the MSTS Office, Moji. The planning effort was handled by CWO R. W. FULTON, as- sisted by CPO's L. P. BECKER and L. K. EVERETT. About 75 crew members volunteered to do the work, directed by CWO FULTON and Chief BECKER. All Departments of DELTA con- tributed to the tasks performed including: painting of playground equipment, furniture, classrooms, bedrooms, dining room and re- strooms, repair of playground equipment, two washing machines, a TV set, two pumps, windows, furniture and a fire escape, and disinfecting of restrooms and bedrooms. Other activities of the volunteers included : J.L. HEMMER, EM1 and E. WASHINGTON, EM1 arranged and showed the movie Sinbad the Sailori' to the delight of all the children, and D. W. BARKER, BM1 collected a contribution from the volunteers of 1700 Yen which was presented to the Sister-in-charge of the orphanage. LCDR T. C. JOHNSON, DELTA Repair Officer, coordinated the work. The TENSHINEN QAngel Gardenj Orphanage, founded about 15 years ago by French Catholics, is operated by five Japanese Catholic Sisters under Sister Marie-Aurelie, at present 54 Japanese orphans are cared for, ranging in ages' from 1-17 years. 1t's loca- tion is at 1-2 Hikari-Machi, Moji-Ku, Kitakyushu-Shi,Japan on the outskirts of the city of Moji. Most of the children at thc or- phanage are under 10 years of age. The DELTA volunteers were entertained by the children in two programs of Japanese dances and songs and treated to refreshments served by the Sisters. Sister Marie-Aurelie and Sister Scholastique visited the DELTA on 15 May to express their apprecia- tion for the work done to Capt. E. H. KIEFER, DELTA's Commanding Of- ficer. The volunteers were presented Howers and a hand-decorated curtain by the children which were placed in DELTA,s crew's mess. Indicative of the spirit in which this work was done was the final spon- taneous gesture of the volunteers. Upon leaving the orphanage, many of DELTA's crew gave their white hats to TENSH1NEN's kids. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
