Luigi Dilorio, known as "Luigino" to many persons of the state's Italian American Community, was from the rural town of Colle D'Anchise, Com-poboasso. He was not expected to live to see his 14th birthday.

After hearing of his plight on a radio broadcast, the state's Italian community took up a collection and took steps to bring the boy to the United States for surgery. Today, almost 19, Luigino is in a hospital in Rome awaiting further medical treatment in the United States. When he was first brought to America, surgeons at the Chil dren's Center Hospital in Bos ton inserted a plastic tube in his heart to correct a problem which might have taken his life. Now the youths' heart must have adjustments now that he was grown. The Luigino Fund Committee is active again.

The fund committee, has not set a fund goal, but the men are confident that a sufficient amount of money will be raised.

FLOWERS SAY IT BEST! (Continued From Page 1) Simpson provoked a crisis in 1936 of then unprecedented proportions. It pitted him against the government of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the hierarchy of the Church of England and his own closest relatives. There had been commoner queens in British history, but a divorced woman as queen was out of the question to the government, the church and Edward's mother. Baldwin gave the king an ultimatum: give up his proposed marriage to Mrs. Simpson, or give up the throne." Winston Churchill and others backed the king, but Baldwin refused to budge and forced Edward to come to a choice.

On Dec. 10, 1936, Baldwin gave Edward's answer to the House of Commons: "This is my irrevocable decision I have determined to renounce the throne." Radio Address The next day the king made a final radio broadcast to his people, saying: "You must believe me when I tell you that I have found it impossible to discharge my duties as king, as I would wish to do, without the help and support of the woman I love." Later in the speech, a moving one that is well-remembered by many. Edward said: "It may be some time before I return to my native land." In later years he was to say in his memoirs: "I certainly married because I chose the path of love. But I abdicated because I chose the path of duty." The Duke and Mrs. Simpson went into exile in France, which was to be their home for most of the next 35 years, and were married privately at the Chateau of Cande, owned by an American industrialist, the late Charles E.
