Sea-going cowbovs under the supervision of the Bret hern Service Committee go with the heifers to see they have proper care, he said Representative of the heifer project committee, In cooperation with representative of the receiving country, make all neces sary arrangements with the familv recelveins the heifer. Dis tribution Is made without regard to race, color or creed. Delivery to the family In Europe Is made In the same spirit as their donors give them, said Norcross. Each family receiving a heifer agrees to share the surplus milk and give the first calf to a neigh bor, who makes tne same agree ment, and so the herds grow, he said. It costs approximately $175 to raise, breed and trans port a heifer to a port of embark ation. Project's Origin and Growth Tracing the history of the Heif er Project, Norcross stated It was a unique reiiei plan originat ed by the Church of the Brethren to hring rresn mUK 10 mue children. The Idea was conceived In 1942 bv Dan West. Brethren worker In Spain during the revol- tlon, who saw now nitteriy tne children were suffering. I'pon his return to America, he talked with other workers who were heartily in favor of helping the children. Being farmers, they hit upon the Idea of using something with which they were familiar. They decided delivering bred heifers to the needy areas would be an excellent way to bung milk to starving little ones and pro posed that a calf for this purpose be "consecrated" by each farm. Although the plan started with the Brethren, todav the Mennon Ites, Quakers, Catholics and Northern Baptists are represent ed on the National Heller Pro ject Committee, and other groups, including schools, service clubs and women's clubs have contri buted heifers and money. It Is now an inter-faith project, he said. Emphasizing the need for re lief, .Norcross stated 40 per cent or nearly 4il million children under the age of 15 years today are hungry. A young service man he talked to, who had re turned from Italy, stated that while they were not permitted to feed the hungry children, the men often left more than half their food on their plales then dumped It in the garbage cans, knowing the children would find It there. Another man reported that upon arrival of a shipment of cows In Italy, children with containers swarmed over the rtixks hoplmj to get some of the milk they had never before tasted. This man reported he had not only viewed the cows that had been sent over, but drank their milk, saw their calves and their calves' calves. Unlike other relief, which gone when consumed, the animals flourished into herds to feed the hungry. Norcross quoted a Rev. Mr. Ni cholson, a Quaker, . who accom panied a load of 40 goats to the leper colony off Okinawa. The chaplain, he said, met him with tears in his eyes, saying, "I didn't know any one cared about us." He was told "The people of Am erica care. They love you all." Norcross Is visiting In Rose burg at the present time. He said he lived here many years ago, and that the town would look more familiar to him If It had a couple of the livery stables it had then and fewer of the mod ern buildings. The father of M. M. Nelson, Kiwanis Club president, is a member of Norcross' committee at Pasadena. Bob Evans was admitted to the club as a new Kiwanis member. Born and reared In, Arizona, his college work was Interrupted by his entry Into the service.
