Doughnuts in the Kitchen. Soon all Borculo was working side by side at the project. At the committee table, the white-haired Protestant dominee rubbed shoulders with the boyish Catholic priest, the leader of the socialist youth movement, and the bald-headed director of the bank. In Borculo kitchens, sweating huisvrouwen labored tirelessly, preparing thousands of doughnutlike oliebollen to sell for a quarter apiece.

Germany's Protestant and Catholic churches were called on for help. Both faiths agreed to make Adelheide over into a kind of coeducational Boys Town* and run it jointly. Today it houses 796 children-590 Catholic and 206 Protestant. On the Catholic side (a 22-year-old German law enforces rigid segregation in all joint Protestant-Catholic welfare enterprises) there...
