By its shared cost policy of enlisting host government contributions and U.S. grants of farm abundance or special project funds, CARE multiplied the private aid to a combined total of $103,213,672 worth of sup- plies an services for more than 30 million persons. The donor increase reflected approval of CAREs etfforts to enable the people of industrialized nations to be personally involved in making liie better for others less fortunate in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Not only the young, but concerned citizens of all ages and economic groups seek to participate directly in the conditions that affect their lives. Community involvement has become a key phrase, but in today's world community goes far beyond the neighborhood or national border to the larger community of the emerging nations whose wellbeing will inevitably affect our own. Of 28 million people CARE helped feed, 24 million were children served regularly atpre school and nutrition centers or primary schools and other institutions, to prevent the permanent mental and physical damage caused by malnutrition. Child feedings are often coordinated with nutrition education, family planning aid, construction of facilities to nourish and educate more children.

A U. of U. scientist has discovered a naturally occurring chemical which regulates fertility in mammals. Dr. Norman C. Negus, professor of biology, says the substance is present in green growing plants. The chemical acts like a hormone in the body and suppresses the production of melatonin, a substance that inhibits reproduction. Laboratory tests were done on the montane meadow vole, a Northeastern states rodent.

Fabric fires will account for 6.000 deaths and numerous injuries this year because of inadequate federal flammability standards and public unawareness, says Irving Einhorn, director of the Flammability Research at the University.
