Sch- weitzer told the mother that only the person who had registered the chiid in school could take him out of school. That person is the boy’s aunt who has been his foster- mother all these years, although not by legal adoption procedure. Mrs. Fleming then. got in touch with Circuit Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr. He told her to notify the boy’s aunt that the mother was here and wanted to claim him. “T called on the aunt and told her,” Mrs. Fleming said “She was terribly upset.” “T’ve had that child for eleven years,” said the aunt. “‘ His mother told me to keep him whén she was unable to care for him.” The boy did not even recognize his own mother when they met. He knows no other mother than his aunt whom he calls “Mommy”. When the child was brought to the Judge's office last week, he wept and stormed: “Oh don’t take me away from my Mommy! I want to see my dad- The crying aunt and child pleaded to remain together. Judge Lopez told the mother. “You can get your child back by instituting habeas corpus procéed- ings.” The aunt immediately consulted with a lawyer about the practica- bility of such a suit, Mrs. Fleming meanwhile acted as a peacemaker and got the two sisters together for dinner. Over dinner, the long estranged women ¢ame to a temporary agree- ment, The mother will permit the boy to stay with his aunt.

The aunt has never gone through legal adoption proceedings for the child. She merely accepted him when his mother asked her to care for him. At the same time the aunt took the boy, an orphanage received three other children. The mother remarried two years ago and was able to reunite her family for the first time. She had her three children released from the orphanage. Much later she decided to take steps about the fourth boy. She did not, however, write her sister or make any in- quiries about him before making her sudden trip to Key West, ac- cording to Mrs. Fleming. Today the boy is back in school happy that he can continue with his friends of years standing, with the teachers he likes and above all with the aunt and uncle whom he calls “Mommy. and daddy.” RE EXPERT Radio Repair BY FACTORY MAN All Work Guaranteed LOU’S RADIO & APPLIANCE 802- Duval Street PHONE 1507 PICK UP SERVICE Get Kuchar Starks in Ge 52 SINGLE SASH, 2°4” x 2°5” | Tuesday, October 28, 1952 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Marines Mop- Up In Korean lege By STAN CARTER SEOUL —U.
