The American Revolution Bi centennial Commission lARBC) granted the official status to the city's sponsoring organization, ' Boston 200, who will conduct a series of Tea Party related activities, culminating with Tea Party Weekend, December 14 to 16 Speaking of the Tea Party and its relevance in this modern era, Boston Mayor Kevin H White said, “A prime purpose in com memorating the event is to remind people of the principles about government that were enormously important to Bos tonians of the 18th century. Although times have changed, these same issues of the role of government and the rights of man still continue on to today.’’ Boston 200, the Office of the Boston Bicentennial, has sought to stimulate an active reconsid eration of these issues through a series of forums, lectures and literary and artistic competi- tions-just as meetings and forums in 1773 kindled the spirit for the original Tea Party. The ARBC feels that the commemoration will make a significant contribution to the Bicentennial and suggests a level of quality of which we can all be pleased It will provide a comprehensive and interesting portrayal of the impact that the Boston Tea Party had upon the American Revolution and the course of American life and history Its focus is both historic and contemporary CARE Starts Food Crusade Some 7,000,000 children across the world have had to be dropped from CARE’S child nutrition programs because of reductions in U.S. Food for Peace com modities allocated to private American agencies for humani tarian use overseas, according to Mrs Marguerite Kelly, regi onal director, CARE in Seattle, as the annual Food Crusade begins in the Pacific Northwest. To continue daily supplemen- try feedings for 20 million per sons, mainly children, during the coming year and to provide emergency food aid for 6 million refugees and disaster victims, the 1973 national holiday-season drive seeks to raise $7,300,000, CARE’s New York headquarters announces. Special events such as pre- Christmas booths, distribution projects by business and youth groups are scheduled throughout the area to gain public support for the drive to help feed the hungry in 25 most destitute areas abroad. “Painful decisions had to be made to drop large groups of preschool and school children in countries where hunger and malnutrition are the biggest killers of the young and cause permanent physical and mental damage in the millions who survive,” CARE explains, add ing that the agency is hopeful Food for Peace cuts may be restored in the months ahead, as the public is urged to respond to the Crusade so that most crucial programs may be maintained While U.S agricultural dona tions are mainstays of the pro grams, CARE also buys other foods to meet local needs, and host governments help with dis tribution cost, the public contri butions used for purchase and remaining delivery costs.
