Drive Fit $ Its Name To Letters By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPD-Tlie dis tribution of CARE packages, which started out as a temporary post-war reliet program, has now become a sort of American insti tution, like baseball, hot dogs and Marlene Dietrich's legs. Technically, Marlene's legs are not 100 per cent American since they were imported from Ger many. But let's not quibble. Any American who would quibble over Marlene's legs probably should be deported. . Whenever I think of CARE, which isn't as often as 1 think of Marlene's legs, I think of it in terms of the eternal question of which came first, the name or the Initials? CARE was originally an abbre viation of "Cooperative for Amer lean Remittances to Europe.' Then, when it outgrew that name. it became an abbreviation of "Co operative for American Relief Everywhere." This would indicate that the CARE people began with the ini- tials and then thought up names to fit them. Which gives them something in common with Lyn don B. Johnson. It was almost 15 years ago that the first CARE package was sent to Western Europe to help feed victims of World War II. Since then, the organization has dis patched more than $388 million worth of food and supplies to more than 50 countries. CARE now has more packages than Heinz has soups. They come In more than 70 varieties, rang lng from $1 food parcels to $100 machines used to make building blocks. If you're wondering how I hap pen to know so much about CARE it's because I attended a recep tion given for the 28 CARE mis sion chiefs who are meeting here this week to discuss plans for fur ther expansion. They are a dedicated lot and like to talk shop. I came awav with a note pad full of incidental foreign intelligence which they brought in from their distant out posts. For Instance, Roy Rhodes, who runs the CARE mission in Hong Kong, told me that the Chinese Communists have banned the an cient game of Mah Jong. Anyone caught with a Mah Jong set is required to deliver it to the police station piece by piece, one piece per day. That being the case, it seems to me our Central Intelligence Agency ought to consider setting up a Mah Jong underground m the Far East. Possibly the sets could be smuggled into Red China in CARE packages. Another CARE chief, David E. Jack of Mexico, gave me a brief ing on a hot sauce made by the Indian natives of the Yucatan pe ninsula. It is called sneepeck, a Mayan word meaning "dog' mouth." , "That's because the first time you taste it you begin panting, Jack explained. HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls.

Klamath Falls Girl Scouts Get Roller Skating Badges More than 50 Klamath Falls intermediate-age' Girl Scouts com pleted requirements for a merit badge for proficiency in roller skating at the local roller rink Tuesday. Parents and friends observed the girls undergo 12 tests of ele mentary skating maneuvers. They were each required to pass near ly all of the tests. The skating program was the largest of its kind ever conducted here. Girls studied for 10 weeks under Walt Kustron, professional skater and member of the Roller Skating Association of America. The girls learned to skate for ward, backwards, start and stop, do the Mohawk turn, play three games, perform one dance and follow safety rules of skating. The skating badge is one of a possible 11 badges in the Girl Scout "sports and games" merit badge field. Four related fields comprise the "fun in the out-of-doors" activities category for members, including camping, na- Man Who Stole Wife's Glasses Fined, Jailed GRANTS PASS (AP) - A man who admits he stole his estranged wife's bifocals, but refuses to give them back to her, was sentenced Friday in Grants Pass Justice Court to a year in the county jail and to pay a $500 fine.
