Reports of abject poverty and famine afflicting hundreds of millions overseas overwhelm us in their enormity.

The fact is, you can do a lot more than you may realize. Through CARE, a link is provided between Americans who want to help and those who need it most in 36 countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. CARE provides food and medical aid, plus programs to assist struggling families to grow more food. The holiday season CARE Food Crusade asks us to help feed 22 million people, mostly children ,in preschool and nutrition centers and schools, many of which CARE helped build.

(12-1- 3 12-2- 0) A study on social and economic impacts in Uintah and Duchesne counties from possible prototype oil shale developments in eastern Utah is being conducted by Utah State University for the Department of the Interiors Bureau of Land Management. Paul L. Howard, BLM state director for Utah, said the information gained from this study will be used for planning purposes and analysis of environmental impacts from development of oil shale on national resource lands in the Uintah Basin. He pointed out that studies such as this can locate potential problem areas early. In the Uintah Basin other important energy reserves exist, such as oil, gas and bituminous sand. The future development of thesce reserves will also have an environmental impact on the area. The oil shale study will be done under a $64,640 contract between BLM and the university expected to be completed by May, 1976. It is entitled, AnImticipated in the Uintah Basin of pacts Utah Resulting from Oil Shale Development. Mr. Howard said the study is intended to identify and analyze eristing social and economic conditions of the Uintah Basin and to project land-ussocial and economic impacts that may result from a proposed 100,000 barrcl-a-da- y prototype oil shale processing plant and related facilities. Socio-Econom- ic e, National Alliance Businessmen Placed Needy In Summer Jobs More than a quarter-millio- n needy youngsters were placed in summer jobs nation-wid- e during 1974, acording to a report issued today by the National Alliance of Businessmen. John P. Condon, Alliance president on loan from Rockwell International, said companies participating in the youth hire program put 227,444 young people into jobs during the summer, exceeding by more than the 200,00 goal for the year. Condon noted that this brings the total number of summer youth hires to more than 1.3 million since the Alliance was founded by the President of the United States in 1968. Each job involved at least 120 hours of work during the summer by a disadvantaged youngster between the ages of 16 and 21 who was paid the minimum wage, or better. Richard C. Mottu, Alliance vice president in charge of the Youth Program, on loan from Koppers Company Inc., reported lrf that more than 25,000 youngsters in the 14 to 16 age group were given jobs during the summer of Rent-A-Ki- d 1974 under the program. The Alliance encourages businessmen to give needy and afteryoungsters part-tim- e school jobs throughout the year, emphasiing that such pobs often are necessary to permit the young person to stay in school instead of dropping out. In all of its job campaigns for disadvantaged adults, Vietnam veterans and as well as youth the Alliance has found more than 3 million jobs for the nations economically deprived during the past seven years. Based in Washington, D.C. with branches in 135 cities throughout the United States, the National Alliance of Businessmen is staffed by some 4,000 persons, the majority of whom are business executives on loan and paid by their companies for periods ranging from three months to two years. ex-offend- ers, |
