CARE Hell ps Many
Needy People

10 years ago CARE was Gre
ated when % organizations got
together to set up a nonprofit
organization to provide a safe
channel by which individuals
could send food packages to
relatives and friends in Europe.
CARE set up missions in Euro
pean countries to supervise and
control the delivery of packages
and to prevent pilferage, diver
sion and black marketing. Many
people having no friends or
relatives in Europe a k e d
CARE to locate a "friend in
need" Now, today, these I'M
designated packages represent
more than IS per cent of CARES
anY@l volume.
! As&Europe's economic condiz
tons improved CARE turnS
some of its attention to A1ll(
and Latin America. Every
needy person overseas receiv-
ing a package finds his own
name on the package and the
name and address of the donor.
A personally signed receipt is
returned to the donor, except
in the case of the $1.00 sur
plus commodity food package

ceipt is kept on file in CARE
headquarters in New York.
In addition to CARES food
package programs there have
been a number of self-help pro-
grams undertaken to aid indi-
viduals to develop their own
future. In India, Tor instance,
it may be better to provide

package; or canning jars in
Greece to supplement an FOA

Cage Team Wins
Double Victory
ITTA BENA, MISSISSIPPI

double win here this week by
walloping Arkansas Baptist OF

The Arkansas game saw the
lead change several times, how
ever, the much more powerful
Devils pulled away at the be-
ginning OF the final quarter and
never again relinguish the lead.
John Tip" Evans, who is pre-
sently high point man for the
season along with his team
mates, Wardeu Cross and Rudy
Battle giving aided assistance,
lead the Devils in scoring.
On Tuesday evening the MisSis
sippi Industrial college who
seem bent on revenge to even
the score of the' shellacking
MVC gave them during foot
ball season. From the opening
whistle to the final one the
score SeeSaWed back and forth
with the lead changing hands at
least a dozen times. The Dew
lis during the game at one time
were able to muster up a ten
point lead, but it was short
lived as MIS- team came back
to tie the score. A remarkable
performance of jumping skill
was displayed by Charles Cal
ton, bashful lad from Gala
tin, Tennessee who controls
both backboards over his much
taller opponents. Although, this
boy Dalton did not register a
high score of points, his grace
and ease on the blackboard gave
his teammates the inspiration
to out fight and out play their
much taller and freely subSti-
tuted opponents. John Zip"
Evans, scored % points for
MVC while Harry Law, regis
tered q for MI. The final score
as the game ended was 67-67,
but could have been 69-67 when
MI missed golden oppOrtuni-
ty to score when one Of its
players missed lay-up as the
final buzzer sounded. The game
then went into an overtime
period of five minutes.

ket for fourteen (14) points and
then put the game on ice by
going into an MVC freeze play.
The rapidity of MVC's scoring
demoralized the lads from MI
and they never again threaten.
The game ended 81-75.

Appeals Court Won't
Rule in Alaska Appeal
Case Against Can Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA, R
The us Court of Appeals today
dismissed Alaska's appeal in a
tax case against the American Can
Co. and seven other fish canning
firms. The court said it lacked
jurisdiction.
The appeal was from Juneau
federal district court order of last
Jan. 81. 1t had dismissed Alaska's
complaints against the companies
from which the territory wanted
to collect $751; 900 in property tax.
The appeals court said it lacked
jurisdiction to hear the appeal
because it was from dismissal of
a complaint and not of the action.
1t was a purely technical point,
but the court said it would have
to have a judgement of dismissal
of the action on its merits before
it could entertain an appeal.
This catches us by SURPRISE"
said ]. Gerald Williams, Alaska
attorney general. 1--WE can never
get to a trial because our COM
plant will again be dismissed"
he said. 1--WE are in a position of
being forced to stay out of court"
Judge William Healy suggested
Williams get Dist. Judge Walter
H. Hodge at Juneau TO grant
judgment of dismissal of the ac-
ton which would then permit
bringing the matter before the
appellate court.
