so-Yin E During KAWISHIWI's three day visit to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, Captain Carpenter and about thirty men visited the Tso-ying Kinder- garten. They carried gifts and good wishes from all their ship- matcs. This school provides an initial education for children of Chinese naval families. Captain Carpenter had helped the school during his tour of duty in Taiwzui. Later the following letter was received by the ship - - - Dear Captain Carpenter, Please accept my heart-felt thanks and appreciation for the honor you and your men gave us by visiting our kindergarten in Tso-ying. To the great delight of all our school children, you brought to us -in addition to the cash of NT - so many gifts, such as crackers, fruit juice, sugar, flour, paint, etc. Maybe the only reward you will derive from your kindness was the joyful manner in which the children are eating these gifts. We have been using the items as the kindcrgartexrs additional regular food, and the children could not be happier than whenever the refreshments are distributed. All the parents are grateful to your officers and men for your gracious contribution. We are now having the rainy season in Taiwan. Since my kinder- garten was in urgent need for a porch to provide the children with a space for lining up for group activities without getting wet, we used ninety per cent of your S3895 contribution to build it. It is already completed and has proved very useful and practical. Typhoon Judy - followed by two weeks of rain - left Taiwan with heavy damages to banana trees, vegetables, roads, and bridges. But we hard-working people are ready to fight against nature to make up the losses we suffered so far. Again, many thanks for what you have done for us. We hope all of you will be able to visit Taiwan again. All the children of my kindergarten and myself welcome you with open arms. Sincerely, I-'rances Sung Wen
