A good worker, 14-year-old Peter Christopolus was rewarded for his "model behavior" this summer by getting his picture printed in the Boys' Home magazine, in overalls like the other orphans. The picture came to the attention of one Jean Strengs, French-born proprietor of a Paterson, N. J. dye works.
