William Black, wept when her sponsor, John Hofer, speaking for himself, his wife and his six children said simply, “this is your home.” »
» ” THE STORY of Janina Gasior is the story of a bewildered, exhausted young Woman who stared blankly for a moment when kind hgnds reached toward hers on the stairs of Gate 5 in Union Station last night. The flight from nowhere to somewhere was ended. In a half hour, Janina Gasior stood at. the front door of the Hofer home and heard the voices of six. children heralding her arrival, In the léngth of time it took to drive from Union Station to 578 N. Audubon Rd., Miss Gasior had changed from an utterly bewildered young lady to an interested one in spite of her weariness.

welcome with words, smiles and gestures, : There was no misunderstanding of that. Andrea, 6 months, in the arms of Louise, brought the biggest smile to the stranger from the Old World. Miss Gasior's fatigue seemed {to disappear as she was shown to her own room; taken to the living room where soft waltzes were pla. on the phonograph; to the kitchen where a baked ham was just asking for a weary traveler and a hungry family to do something about it and the rest of the demonstrations you have when a typical American family has a guest under its roof. » - » ARRANGEMENTS FOR Miss Gasior, who lived with her family in Cracow before the war, were made by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Henry F. Dugan of the Indianapolis Catholic Archdiocese and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. : She is one of the 205,000 .persons who will be admttted to the United States over a two-year period in accordance with the U, S.
