Emcmuele Santl: Head Of Home For Italian Waifs Welcomed By Church Dr. Emanuele Santi byPEGHURD STAFF WRITER Dr. Emanuele Santi is the traveling ambassador of Casa. Materna, and his travels have led him to Tyrone. Last night Dr.

Santi was the guest of honor at a dinner at the Church of the Good Shepherd and later spoke to the congregation and other members of the community about the "Home with a Mother's Love" in Naples, Italy, of which he is co-director. Casa Materna was begun when Dr. Santi's father, Ricardo, found two homeless, star- ving children on the streets of Naples and brought them home to his wife and family. This was in 1905, and Casa Materna has been growing ever since. Ricardo Santi's home for orphaned and abandoned children had to change location time after time as the Santis took in more and more needy waifs.

In 1920, the Methodist Church in America acquired the villa of the Prince of Monaco and presented it to Casa Materna. Today the school has seven buildings on seven acres of land, 500 day students and 130 children for.whom it is a permanent home. Emanuele and Teofilo Santi, sons of the founder, are the present directors of the home. The boys learn carpentry, radio and television repairs, mechanics and the making of cameos. The girls study home economics or typing and shorthand to prepare them business.

A few fortunate boys and girls go on to the home providing the funds for their expenses. When we met Emanuele Santi yesterday, he was standing in the Methodist parsonage, playing his violin. We immediately sat down to enjoy an impromptu concert of Neopolitan melodies played by their composer.

At the present time he is on a 45-day tour of the United States. He has played his violin and talked about Casa Materna in fifteen cities and towns in California, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Before he returns to Italy, he will visit New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. Most of his invitations to speak come from people who have been to Casa Materna, among them the Rev. and Mrs.

Eugene Steiner of the Church of the Good Shepherd. Emanuel Santi returned to Casa Materna 20 years ago after a career in the United States as a concert violinist and a Methodist minister. He has a doctorate in child psychology. He is a BIG man in every sense of the word. of enthusiasm and love for the children he left behind at the school.

"Many of our children come from broken he said. "A sense of security, trust and love can make a tremendous change in the life of a child. "Naples is a beautiful city, but of its children live in squallor. The city is overcrowded, and there is a great shortage of schools. Casa Materna has kept many children out of trouble and given them love and understanding.

"My brother, Teofilo, is a gifted medical doctor. We have our own hospital at the school, and the children get lots of tender loving care. "We also have a choir and a school band. The choir sang at the Simpson United Methodist Church in Altoona when they visited the United States in 1956. We had always thought of ourselves as an unpretentious group, but on that tour we found that our children were constantly compared to the Vienna Boy's Choir.

"Although my brother and I are the directors of the school, we have more than 60 people who help us care for the children. Many of them are volunteers from the United States, England and Switzerland. "All our teachers are Italian and are certified by the state. We think that security and love are the most important things they can give to the children they are teaching. "We tell our teachers to identify with the children.

The spark of love that God has put into our hearts must be given to Twelve thousand children have passed through Casa Materna since it was begun 70 years ago; and they all return to visit the Santis. "Just before I left for the United Emanuele Santi remembers, "a young man who had just received his doctorate in mathematics came and put his arms around me. "He had come to us as an emaciated child twenty years ago." Casa Materna is a non-denominational home. Twelve denominations help to support the school's needs. Operated by Protestants in a Catholic country, it has many Catholic children among its residents.

"There is more need in Italy than we can said Emanuele Santi. "We can't possibly accept all the children who apply to the school. we take the poorest. ones who need us the most. "I have enjoyed my trip through your big country especially your beautiful Pennsylvania mountains.

I must soon return to the children. When I left they said, 'Come back soon; we love you'. who could resist an invitation like that!" Tyrone Hospital ADMITTED Terence Shreve, Rawlings, Md.

HOOKIES DANCE Saturday Night 10 Till 2 Police Frustrated, Youth Dies In Fall NEW YORK (UPI) Police prolonged the life of Mark Malays, 21, for one hour Wednesday while they tried to talk him out of jumping off a high rise apartment building.

But a private helicopter passed overhead and Matays, who had been standing so close to the edge that part of his shoes overlapped the building, stepped off and let go. He landed on a lawn 23 stories below and died a short time later in a hospital. Police said they never use helicopters to rescue persons threatening to jump from high places because it can often trigger the victim to jump. A spokesman said police would try to find out who the helicopter belonged to and why it was in the area.
