DR.. Kurt Peiser, director of the

has provided similar scholarships
to several institutions in this area.
| describes their purpose as follows: ::
America has a vast reserve of
young men and women with ma
tural interest and ability for col
! lege and intellectual pursuits.
These young minds represent great
hope for the future. In this coun-
try, youth has an opportunity to
study and work in freedom. We
must encourage it and afford them
every opportunity to make the
most of their talents. That is whv
the Food Fair Stores Foundation
has started on an exceedingly
timely and constructive and Gre
ative program. It's objective is to
encourage young people to con-
tinue cultural and professional ac-
tivities in schools of higher edu-
cation so that American citizen
ship can get the benefit of fine con-
cepts thus obtained We feel that
this is the best way to insure the
future of America"
