Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: 5,000 was the estimate.
 
     
 
 
Mr. taylor: Did we have a report that the first ship of the second  
group is on the way now?
 
     
 
 
Mr. Barr: Five ships are all on the way.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: We ought to have this supply within 30 days.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Barr: 2,390 tons.
 
     
 
 
Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: The impression we had was that the institutions   
were in a very bad way from food and vitamin point of view. Some appear to   
give the children a fairly good meal at midday, but obviously deficient in   
vitamin elements or milk.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: This deals with the children up to ten years off age.  What   
about the children above ten?
 
     
 
 
Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: We haven't enough milk to go around.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: Doesn't that create a feeling of unhappiness in the   
institution?
 
     
 
 
Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: I don't think so; very often we have had to ration   
out food only to the smaller ones.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: Has the Naples supply been sent to Naples?
 
     
 
 
Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: That is to be there on the 31st, Wednesday, when   
they are to begin the distribution of tickets - the actual consignment from   
Monday. On Friday and Saturday we are going to control the figures and give   
out the tickets and then on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday we are going   
to try to visit some of the institutions personally.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: We estimated when the new supply in the shipments arrives we   
would have enough milk based upon two glasses of milk per day per child to   
serve 40,000 children for six months. Now with that in mind is there another   
group in Rome or in Naples which you would suggest servicing? I think you   
mentioned the Day Nursery. Would you consider that as next most important?
 
     
 
 
Prof. Canaperia: Yes. And it would be advisable to take another town in   
the north - say Florence.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: I would think Florence. I suppose Leghorn and Pisa.  I don't   
think Sienna.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Barr: Viterbo has no great need. Arezzo and Leghorn are in need of   
assistance.
 
     
 
 
Mr. Taylor: Mr: Vicentini and Mr. Silber are in Sicily studying the   
distribution of clothing. I think we stated several times that after   
completing distribution in the devastated areas, including Naples and Rome,   
particularly Rome, that there would be a quantity left over that might be   
useful in Sicily. What was that amount?
 
     
 
 
Mgr. Carroll-Abbing: We have had to estimate the amount to assign to   
Sicily--500 tons--.
