Show Page Twelve CARE Helped 29 Million; Donor The Nitro Ban, Slower Times But Safer Action To Racers And Fans Dollars Multiplied Sixfold Almost 29 milion needy people were helped by CARE food, self-hel- p development, medical and emergency programs in 36 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, according to the 1974 annual report just issued by the aid agen- went to seven million victims of droughts, floods and other disasters, including such parched African countries as Niger and Chad, and paradoxically, areas in Pakistan and the Philippines. To Indian villages suffering from drought, CARE delivered 34,850,000 lbs. of food for over two million people. Through MEDICO, the medical arm of CARE, long-terteams of doctors, nurses, technicians, augmented by over 100 volunteer specialists, helped treat close to one-hamillion flood-strick- cy. Declaring that the world food and energy crisis brought an unprecedented challenge to CARE during the fisca year, Miss Molly Farmin, Western Regional Director, reported that contributions from concerned Americans and Canadians totalling $18,633,402 enabled us to help meet that challenge. Contributions mere up $4,467,722 over the same period in the previous year. With individual contributions as the base, CARE obtained cost and services inputs by the government of peoples being helped, U.S. government donations of farm commodities, and special project funds from both U.S. and All Canadian governments. this, combined with frugal management by CARE, stretched every dollar provided by the public to nearly $6 worth of aid supplied to the less fortunate a total of $109,064,414 in goods and services, Miss Farmin explained.

A special report on the status of dangerous nitromethane as a fuel for drag racing is contained in HOT ROD Magazines Janu- ary issue. If nitromethane is banned, drag racing will slow down, but be much safer and less costly to racers and fans alike.

On top of this, the Interstate Commerce Commission has much more stringent regulations for the transportation and storage of alcohol. The timetable for the alcohol conversion may be the biggest problem of all. At the earliest, the changeover could go into effect January 1, 1976, allowing plenty of time for research and development.

The many people who are in (he Army are in it because it's a good place to be in. Partly because of the benefits. A monthly starting salary of $344.10 (before deductions). With a raise to $383.40 in just four months. Plus free housing and meals, free medical and dental care, free job training, 30 days paid vacation a year. Partly, too, because of the personal challenge. The disipline. The mental and physical demands. The early risings, hard days, and late nights. In the Army, we dont have time clocks. And in the Army, you dont get paid overtime. Soldiering a point where the spectator appeal will be severely diminished. Parts manufacturers and engine builders would be directly affected because current stockpiles of nitro engine components would depreciate in value. On a national scale, one of the major problems with the whole preposition is the possibility that not all three sanctioning bodies would require the changeover. Those that didnt would attract recalcitrant nitro racers and have quicker and faster cars for their audiences. But it seems unlikely that .racers would be able to switch back and forth. Finally, there is the problem of alcohol itself. Not all refining companies handle it and some of those that do, contract their entire production to other forms of racing, such as USAC. ym w& I is THE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1975 full-tim- e job.
