The 200th Anniversary of the
Boston Tea Party has been
granted official recognition and
use of the national Bicentennial
logo as a major event com­
memorating the nation's Bicen­
tennial.
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. Con­
tributions to the Food Crusade
may be sent to the CARE outlet,
