"The KALINSKI children, under proper environment, will grow into useful citizens," said Mrs. E. L. STEPHENSON, 40 Grandview Avenue, Kansas City, Kas., last night. "I adopted the 2-year-old baby of the family some months ago and if anyone is skeptical, let that one pay a visit to this rosy cheeked, chubby boy, who is at present on the porch as happy as a lark. "I am glad his brother and sister were found yesterday by Doctor MATHIAS and placed in someone's care. Since the death of their mother, Stanley, the 12-year-old boy, has been his little sister's guardian, as the father has left. "The children should have been placed in homes. Instead they were allowed to be taken to the Missouri side, where yesterday they were found almost starved." The KALINSKI children were living at 916 Winchester Street, Kansas City, Mo. when found. Their main food was cereals until yesterday when Miss Johanna SNIEZINSKI, 926 Winchester Street, took them to her home and grocery store. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
