National cake sales
cream Reagan, Watt
From Associated Press reports
This weekend introduced the
celebrated "First National Let
Them Eat Cake Sale" to Eugene,
an event designed to raise money
for the needy while taking some
digs at the policies of the Reagan
Administration.
But Eugene isn't alone in this
liberal venture.
Foes of Reagan's economic
policies held a nationwide bake
sale Monday, peddling "Flat
Broke Bread" and "Prune the
Military Muffins" and sponsoring
carnival events like the (interior
secretary) James Watt shoe toss.
Cakes such as the "James Watt
Clear-Cut Forest Cake," a burned
sheet cake with toothpicks stick
ing out of it, were displayed and
actioned as part of the Eugene
Celebration downtown.
Nationally the "First National
Let Them Eat Cake Sale" enlisted
entertainers, political cartoonists
and politicians from the left and
was held at lunch time on street
corners in scores of cities.
Their goal was to use Reagan's
call for volunteerism to raise half a
million dollars to help the nation's
poor, who they say are victims of
the Administration's budget cuts.
"Reagan said go out and do it
based on volunteerism and we're
going to show him it can't be
done," said Marilyn Ondrasik, ex
ecutive director of the New York
Public Interest Research Group.
Other grievances were not
forgotten in the day's activities.
"Ronald Reagan's cake is un
doubtedly made from the same
hazardous waste, toxic chemicals
and polluted water that his ad
ministration tolerates," Susan
Merrow, chairwoman of the Con
necticut Environmental Caucus,
said at a bake sale and rally in
Hartford.
"I and millions of other
Americans want no part of that
recipe," Merrow said.
On Pennsylvania Avenue, just
two blocks east of the White
House, peddlers of baked goods
erected a plywood cutout of Watt
with a big hole in place of his
mouth. A chance to throw a shoe
through the hole cost 50 cents.
Designers of the game dubbed
it "Help Jim Watt Put His Foot In
His Mouth."
The sales were held in pleasant,
Indian-summer weather in much
of the country and puns Were the
order of the day: "Guns or Butter
Cookies," "Strawberry Short
Recovery Cake" and "Unemploy
ment Rolls."
Protest sponsor Thomas Harvey,
a reverend and director of the Na
tional Conference of Catholic
Charities, said in a statement that
Catholic relief agencies are fin
ding it difficult to keep up with
services for the poor.
"From 1981 to 1982, the number
of emergency meals we provided
jumped from 497,000 to 999,000,"
Harvey said.
"And emergency shelter for
single adults grew from 3,900 to
63,000."
Leaders said more than 500 local
organizations took part in the
bake sale and rallies, with the pro
ceeds to go to soup kitchens,
elderly centers, halfway houses,
crisis centers and other local
projects.
