PAGE S • PlJUNDEALER • WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER M, 1*17 This Car Biz It Fair To Midway A lot of Americans make a living driving a car. But the Richard Randall family of Wyckoff, N.J., makes a living out of just owning one. The car they own--a 1943 Mercedes-Benz -- once be­ longed to Adolph Hitler, and the Randalls tour with it most of the year, hitting county fairs and similar tourist attractions from Maine to Florida and then through the southwest. "It's a good living.. I wouldn't want to do anything else." says Charles Randall, who manages the exhibit with his mother and father. The Randalls got into the exhibit business seven years ago, when Charles graduated from high school. His father, giving in to a longtime urge to move into the carny Held, sold the automobile business he had in a deteriorating sec­ tion of Paterson, N.J., and bought the Mercedes from the man who had been tour­ ing it. The purchase price was well over $100,000. The car is supposed to be able to hit 135 miles an hour, and is so heavy -- 9,500 pounds -- that it gets only three miles to each gallon of gas. It is more than 19 feet long, and is protected with a half-inch of armor plate be­ hind the regular body and glass an inch and a quarter thick. The csr was captured by the 2nd U.S. Armored Division near Berchtesgaden on May 7, 1945, and, before its days as a midway attrac­ tion, was once owned by Charles DeGaulle. , The car's recalling the Nasi era "is the type of thing people don't forget," the younger Randall says. Sister Named Good Samaritan--1977 CM"mo« Card Now in McHenry! j A & E VACUUM CLEANER MS" FOR ALL MAKES OF Domestic t ,15/344-0899 \ Sister Maria Rosa Leggol of Honduras, winner of the Na­ tional Catholic Development Conference's Qood Samaritan Award for 1977, Is one of those special Individuals whose work with orphaned children has helped to Improve the quality of life In her native land. An orphan herself, Sister Ma­ ria Rosa cares for nearly 1,000 youngsters In the SOS Chil­ dren's Villages she established in Honduras. In the villages the children live in private homes and are cared for by surrogate mothers. The SOS Children's Villages Organization Is a private social- welfare organisation, both politically and denominational­ ly Independent, that cares for more than 15,000 orphaned or abandoned children In 135 vil­ lages throughout the world. The idea was conceived by Hermann Gmelner, an Aus­ trian, shortly after World War n when he was deeply moved by the plight of homeless chil­ dren in Europe. Six to eight children live In an SOS family home in which boys and girls are raised as brothers and sisters. Each fam­ ily has a house. A woman who serves as the SOS mother is the head of the family. The children are brought up in con­ ditions very similar to those In a normal home. Each village also has a director who acts as the father figure for the children. life in the villages is so en­ riching that Sister Maria Rosa admits she would have liked to have been brought up in an SOS home. Instead, she was raised in an orphanage along with 260 other girls where, as she recalls, she "sorely missed fam­ ily Hfe." Following her depar­ ture from the orphanage at the age of 16, she entered religious life and thai began her work Anyway you look at it you SAVE on MAYTAG!

III. 4-H'er Wins Clothing Honors Good Samaritan Award winner Stater Maria Rosa Is pictured above with a little friend. Below are some of the other - MM chil­ dren who live In the SOS Children's Villages In Honduras. with orphans in 1966. Her first villages were established in 1967 and a year later she started working with SOS. "I believe Ood decided I should be an orphan so that I would be inclined to make my life's work helping other home­ less children," Sister Maria Rosa has said. Sister explained that in Hon­ duras the poverty and lack of education has made the plight of the children In the country extreme. Furthermore, she said, many of the Children In the SOS villages have mothers, but they cannot afford to take care of their offspring. She calls these children "moral" orphans. "SOS solves many of the problems for the homeless child nuking him ready for the future," Sister Maria Rosa says. She belfcySLJiCS: work with SOS Children's Villages Or­ ganization, of which she is a board member, will eventually change Honduras sociologically. She Is convinced that the First World Nations can help her country combat its problems If they help its children--that Is, in helping fund SOS. Many citizens of other coun­ tries have become sponsors of SOS children. They provide for their upbringing by sending along small monthly donations for food, clothing and school supplies. TCirough these simple char­ itable acts, Sister Maria Rosa feels the First World is helping SOS mold the children of Honduras and other develop­ ing countries Into useful men and women.
