One is the Co-operation for American Remittances to Europe, com monly known by its initials as CARE, and the other is the Christian Rural Overseas Program, shortened to CROP. CARE, whose headquarters are 50 Broad street. New York 4, N.Y., offers a gift plan for Christmas, will send, in the name of anyone you designate, a big CARE food or clothing textile package to some hungry, tattered per son abroad. For each gift order, CARE will mail you a Christmas card which reads: "Merry Christmas a CARE package has been sent in your name as a Christmas gift from you to a needy family overseas." You sign the card and mail it to your friends, your relatives and business associates, just as you would any ordinary Christmas card. Overseas representatives of the 26 major American wel fare organizations of which CARE is composed will select worthy recipients for the Christmas parcels. But you can choose the type of people you think your friends would especially like to help perhaps "a widow in France," "a new-born baby in Finland," "a teacher in Greece." When the packages are delivered, the recipients will sign receipts which will be returned to the donors you have named, so that .they know to whom the gift has gone. CARE's package varieties include a special holiday food pack age at $15. which features a whole turkey and all the trimmings for a festive dinner, from assorted spices to a dessert of rich plum pudding. At $10 each, there is a choice of several big CARE packages: a 22'-j pound standard food parcel; infant or baby food assortments; baby layette; a woolen package which contains 8 yards of all-wool fabric and the sewing accessories to turn it into warm coats or suits: blankets: knitting wool; household linen assortments. There is also a 10-pound package of lard at only $3.50. Contents of all CARE packages have been compiled with the help of government and health officials to lupply the things that are needed and wanted overseas. CARE's prices Include all costs of guaranteed delivery to Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Finland. France. Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland. Great Britain (Eng land, Scotland. Wales and Northern Ireland) and Germany (American. British, French zones and all Berlin). For the du ration of the blockade, prices of food packages to Berlin are $17.50. $12.50 and $6.50 respectively, to cover the higher costs of air transport. All you have to do is to Rend your orders to CARE office with check or money order, including your name and ad dress, the name and address of the person in whose name the package is to be sent, and the kind of a package you want delivered to people who need to know that the world ha not forgotten them. CROP program Is in charge of the churches of all denominations and is distributed in Oregon by Church World Service, Catholic Rural Life and Lutheran World Relief. It specializes in fond gifts. Its Oregon headquar ters are in Times building, Portland 4. You can contribute either in food, any amount and kind you wish, or send cash for its purchase and its delivery is assured. The fanners in Marion county are being invited to unite their efforts and contributions to purchase a carload of cheese for the CROP program. If this task can be accom plished in the near future, this carload of cheese would be a part of the Christmas trains that are to roll to the east ern and western seaports, shortly before Christmas. The people in Mount Angel are now taking a very active part. Four of the local co-ops there are sending out letters to their memberships asking for a contribution. The Mount Angel co-ops are asking other co-ops in Mnrion county to get busy at this time and co-operate in a united effort to get that "carload of cheese for overseas relief.' Both CARE and CROP programs have lagged in Oregon, in comparison with other states, but the efforts of the farmers of Marion county co-ops should be supplanted by residents of the cities in this Christian spirit and it is to be hoped that the carload of cheese rolls on time.

EISENHOWER CHAPTER XIV During all this period my personal contacts with the Prime Min ister were frequent and profitable. He took a lively interest in every important detail, and was able to lend us an effective hand when some of our requirements de manded extra effort on the part of overloaded British civil agencies.

Thanks With a Familiar Ring The thought and meaning of ThankspivinR runs so deep that time fails to dull it. The Idea of offering thanks is as old as the ases. Even the Greeks had a word for it, "Thesmophoria." In the United States President Georjre WashinKton was requested by congress to "recommend to the people a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God." Washington issued a proclama tion setting November 26 of that year, 1780, as a national Thanksgiving day, the first official one. Many of his words in that first proclamation sound as If they were uttered today: "When we review the calamities which afflict so many other nations, the present condition of the I'nited States affords much matter of consolation and satisfaction. ". . . The happy course of our public affairs in general, the unexampled prosperity of all classes of our citizens are circumstances which peculiarly mark our situation with Indications of the Divine Benefirence towards us. . . . "I do recommend and assign Thursday . . . that we may then all unite In rendering unto Him our sincere and hum ble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country . . .; for the signal and manifold mercies ... of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union and plenty which we have since enjoyed; . . . for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed." In his proclamation of six years Inter, President Wash ington asked that his fellow countrymen be preserved "from the arrogance of prosperity." The blessings of another year have carried on. The voices of thanks of the people of the I'nited States have a familiar ring in the halls of history. Ordered to Cook a Turkey Youngstown, O. i1 Mrs. George Hooker was "sentenced" to serve turkey to her husband today. Hooker told Municipal Judge John J. Buckley he would mis his Thanksgiving dinner because his wife still had four davs to serve on a charge of disturbing the peace. So the Judge suspended the four days and ordered Mrs. Hooker to cook the turkey. particularly t h e Americans, with peculiar force. He said, "Gentlemen, I am hardened to ward this enterprise," meaning to us that, though he had long There was. of course, much to do aside from merely waiting to make the final decision concern ing the timing of the attack.

BUSINESS REPORT Attention Wall Street: Pres ident Truman nas ieceived a private analysis of the economic situation from his top economic A Dark Day for Donald, 14 Seffner, Fla. f If you think you don't have too much to be thankful for today, take a look at the case of Donald Young love of Seffner. In June Donald was a strapping 105-pound outdoor boy who had just been graduated with honors from Junior high school. Today the 14-year-old boy, wasted away by a rare and terribly painful disease, weighs only 35 pounds. The doctors say he will live only about two weeks. Donald hopes it won't be that long. "Put me to sleep, Daddy, so I won't wake up, please," he begs when his father gives him one of the frequent and heavy doses of morphine which reduce but cannot completely deaden the constant pain. Donald didn't have any turkey today, nor any pie, nor any cranberry sauce Just a little liquid down a tube into his stomach. Doctors call his disease dermatomyositis. It attacks the mus cles.
