to help the hungry.

the dedication ceremonies o f Love
Loaves filled by his parishioners in
their missionary outreach program
and contributed in part to the World
Vision International for distribution
to the hungry o f the world.
Allen Temple has an active mis
sionary society whose president cur

church society regularly keeps a
“ food closet” stocked for the needy
in the com m unity, according to
Mrs. T .L . Strayhand, wife o f the
pastor. “ We also volunteer to work
each week with Loaves and Fishes.
This time we distributed 90 Love
Loaves to members of our own con
gregation.”
“ We asked those who accepted
the Love Loaves to place them on
their dining tables and when they sit
down to enjoy their meals, to drop
in a coin to let some hungry person
somewhere else in the world share a
meal with them. We asked families
to let table conversation include the
children to let ideas flow on how the
children can help to earn money to
f ill their Love Loaves—maybe by-
weeding the neighbor’ s yard, or
gathering old newspapers to sell.”
Many o f the persons who accept
ed the Love Loaves were present on
July 25 at the in-gathering of the lit
tle banks. Under an agreement with
gift through that channel to aid the
hungry in Haiti and Africa, accord

has a dream.
It’s Anheuser-Busch's
dream, too.
The Bedford Stuyvesant section
o f New York isn't exactly a breeding
iund for corporate lawyers. Hut
wrence Cumberbatch hail a dream
And he beat the odds to achieve it.
His dream didn’t start with a
professional goal. It started with a
commitment, a commitment to social
change and civil rights He'd seen enough
growing up to know something had to be
done. So he followed another man with
a dream to Washington in 1963 And
helped get out the votes in Mississippi
in 1965.
By the time he entered law school
in 1968, <xher people had taken their
dreams to the streets. Lawrence
Cumberbatch hail a better argument.
Change the System from within To get
the power, he felt, you had to work tor it.
Today, he's a David in the world o f
Wall Street Goliaths. A lega! giant-killer,
fighting for the civil rights o f the little
guy. He dreamed of making a difference
And he has.
Lawrence Cumberbatch is a part of
our dream, too. A t AnheuserHusch,
we re working together with successful
law firms like Lawrence's in cities across
the United States. Sharing their
professional expertise as they represent
us in New York, Chicago, St. Louis,
San Francisco and Los Angeles
I he result a future where we all profit
and gri iw.
We at Anheuser Busch are committed
to improve the community we live in
That's our dream. A future we can all be
proud of.
K
Building a future.
Dream by dream.
