By Alan Frazer OH! there are looks and tones that dart An instant sunshine through the heart,_| As if the soul that minute caught Some treasure it through life had sought THOMAS MOORE BWO LOAVES of bread?╟÷hardly enough for a Thanksgiving feast but they may save a life. They were flown here yes- day from far-off Las Vegas, Nev., in an Act of Mercy, This is the ?╟úAngel Bread'* I -wrote about, after visiting Vegas last February, NO miraculous qualities ar^I^imed for it, but -it, is made by the Sisters of St. Dominic at Rose de Lima Hospital, Hender- son, .Nev., and Henderson is situated between Las Vegas and Boulder City. THE BREAD was flown to Bbston for a very , sick woman, MRS. JOHN J. VOGEL, 66, She is at Baker Memorial of Massa- chusetts General Hospital and has been unable to eat. If she can eat this bread, more will be sent?╟÷as much as she needs to restore strength. Specially Baked Nun A NEWS item about the bread was circulated recently by the Associated Press. Prior to that, the only persons to mention and I. * THIS AP dispatch was seen by Mrs. Vogel?╟╓s son, Paul, of Shgjte^ called The Sands, Las Vegas*.. 'Tlie Sqnds is a luxury hotel and gambling casino on the Las Vegas Strip, but it has set up a charitable foundation to market ^$be nun's bread, for , the benefit of Rose de Lima Hospital. VOGEL pleaded for some of the bread to be shipped to his mother; and steps to do so were taken immediately. JACK ENTRATTER, who produces the stage shows at The Sands and is a director of the foundation, even obtained promise of a jet plane from NfcffiSj New, Air Force Base to tty the loaves to Boston. THE JET wasn?╟╓t needed, however. AL FREEMAN of The Sands, who ?╟údiscovered?╟Ñ this extraordinary bread, phoned Baker Memorial and learned from head nurse MRS* CECELIA NELSON, that such haste was unnecessary. A few hours would make no dif- ference. So the bread was shipped, Saturday at midnight, via TWA air express. MEANWHILE, bread was especially baked for fee sick wom- an by one of the nuns at Hendersom-^SISfER ANGELA It is a gift of the sisters. It arrived in Boston yesterday but time will have to pass before results are known. . IF it helps the patient in room 933 at Baker Memorial, it will indeed seem a miracle to her anxious son; and Mrs. Vogel may be able to eat it because it has qualities of taste and tex- turethatled- to its ?╟údiscovery?╟Ñ by AI Freeman. Catted 11 A ngel FREEMAN is Jewish, but he was one of the American sol- diers who liberated POPE PIUS when the Yanks reached Rome during the war. He and the other GI?╟╓s were received at that time in audience by the Pope?╟÷just as they were, grimy uni- forms, mud^y boots and all. That was an experience which Al Freeman will never forget. IT had much to do with frequent visits which he has made i^Rose de Lima Hospital to aid the sisiters in any way possible. Jpd there he tasted their bread and exclaimed: ?╟úWhy! This is angel bread!?╟Ñ * . . ?╟úIt's odd that you should call it that,?╟Ñ said the Mother Superior, ?╟úbecause it is made by Sister Angela.?╟Ñ The man from The Sands conceived the idea of marketing the bread for the exclusive benefit of the hospital. Plans have been shaped slowly in order that everything might be done in the best manner and through the right channels. THE FIRST step was to consult experts in flour milling, and then, after man$ more careful moves, the Angel Bread [Foundation was set up^as a charity of The Santo CO S3 BOSI-ON EVENING AMERICAN.
