Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
This is make believe
These two little Korean tots in a CCF
orphanage in Korea, taking part in a
Christmas play, are just making believe
they are the characters they portray.
But a year ago it wasn't make believe
for them. It was all real, too real. The
loss of their parents and homes, their
hunger, the cold, the hunting in garbage
cans and sleeping in doorways, their
misery as two among a million refugees
-all this was pitifully real. They were
two little suffering victims of a war that
had ruthlessly taken from them everything
a child needs and left for them nothing.
But orphanage workers rescued them
and clothed and fed them and gave them
shelter and schooling and love. And
taught them about the Star of Bethlehem
and about Joseph and Mary and the
Christ Child.
Christian Children's Fund has in its
Korean orphanages 8,000 happy and well
cared for children like these two youngsters.
But there are still 50,000 Korean
children who are homeless. The destruc-
tion was so complete. Back and forth
rumbled the super-tanks and super-guns
and super-efficient bombs and napalm
sprayers, crumbling and burning homes
and lives while the children who did not
die whimpered in fear and terror in a
destroyed world without love.
These surviving Children, who are still
homeless, can be "adopted." The cost in
Korea and in all countries where CCF
operates is ten dollars a month and you
will receive your child's name, address,
story and picture. You can correspond
with your child. Children can be "adopted"
in CCF orphanages around the
woi.1d; in the following 28 countries:
Austria, Borneo, Brazil, Burma, Finland,
Formosa, France, Free China, Greece,
Hong Kong, India, Indochina, Indonesia,
Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Lapland,
Lebanon, Macao, Malaya, Mexico, Okinawa,
Pakistan, Philippines, Puerto Rico,
United States and Western Germany.
Established in 1937, Christian Children's
Fund is the largest Protestant orphanage
organization in the world.
