Oswego Refugees Full Of Cheer At Being In America
NEW VORK (WNS) — The refugees at the Fort Ontario "free port" or Emergency Shel¬ ter Camp apprecii^te the Amer¬ ican way.
This was made Clear by Mi.s.s Anna Kaufman, a leader of the National Council of .lewish Wo¬ men, who has just returned from a visit to the camp. She told of an old woman who "kiss¬ ed the w&lis of the barracks in which the people li.ve and then t<ild us she wanted us to tell others on the tiutside tliat is how happy they feel here.
"Many of Ihem were amazed to have private rooms—they hafl not enjoyed such comfort for ten or twelve years". Miss Kaufman said.
She told of one man's aston¬ ishment at seeing eggs order¬ ed by the dozen and of the wo¬ men in the kitchens cleaning herring for dinner and holding the fi.sh as if they were prlce- Ies,s.
Miss Kaufman, who is chief of the National Council's Bu¬ reau of Ports and Docks, was with the group from the day of their arrival at-Fort Ontario on Aug, Sth, Since then, she said, the people have established .a kindergarten staffed by their own members, and have form¬ ed'.stjuads to work In the camp's hospital and kitchens.
For some of the joy of com¬ ing to America was clouded by fear for relatives and friends who remained behind. Miss Kaufman said, adding that one of the National Council's major tasks would be to help locate relatives In this counlry. The council Is working in part from a list of several hundred names sent in hy .servicemen trying to locate ml.ssing relatives who have managecj to leave Europe.
Part of the National Council's work a( Foi-t Onta'rio consisted of interviewing and ixlaclng the group members in suitable jobs around the grounds of the shel¬ ter. The group includes a num¬ ber of rioetors and teachers.
Also included are great num¬ bers of men and women with theatrical experience, and one of the first community under¬ takings has been an entertain¬ ment program with songs in German. Hungarian and the Slavic languages.
No attempt is being matle, Miss Jaunltz said, to force any American ideas upon the peo¬ ple—particularly since every¬ one realizes they are here for the duration only. "The whole emphasis is being placed u|)on the maintenance of the people's own way of living", she said [Xjinting out that the people have arranged their own recrea¬ tional activities and are con¬ ducling their owij religious ser- vic'cs, "With pepper and other spices", she added, "they evert manage to make the American food tasie more like (heir oiri familiar  dislies".
