Hollings hu written a book “The Case Against Hunger" (Gowks) in which he lists 14 specific steps that can be taken Iqr Congress the administration and private groups to eliminate hunger from America His list of proposals includes such obvious poverty-fightin- g measures overhauling the welfare program and prodding more Job training and adult education opportunities But Bollings wouldn’t stop there “I suggest that free food tamps or commodities be made available to American family that leu than $1200 a year regardless of toe cost of implementing such a program” he says Red Tape Should be Cut Red tape should be slashed “Eligibility for any food program should be determined on the basis of a statement of need on the part of the applicant Random spot checks of eligibili u Because millions id the poor don't even know they are eligible for food aid “there should be a total nationwide effort to recruit every family eligible to participate in food programs” Churches civic groups and the news media could be a big help in this effort he notes To insure poor children of at two nourishing hot meals a day “the federal government should immediately launch a drive to have cafeterias constructed in every American school to provide a nutritious school breakfast and lunch to every needy child" Private industry could help by adding iron riboflavin vitamin C thiamin and other enriching supplements to commercially distributed foods widely consumed among the snack poor including foods and soft drinks Beyond all such specific actions Hollings says there must be a "top priority" national commitment— to make America a land “where not one child cries itself to sleep because of hunger” Gifts For The Women On Your List Christmas boots Penney Priced 16" Women’s 13” xip-u- p boot is smart smooth ' perfed leather Warmly lined Ladies’ crinkle-textur- mold- ed ed vinyl boot has side zipper acrylic pile lining Black or ‘ antique brown G iris’ molded vinyl boot is scuff salt and stain resistant texture Smooth-and-crinkle- d compound Black only Laird said the operation was about one hour before UR began bombing raids North Vietnam but that the two missions were not related Laird later told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he would recommend air attacks if North Vietnam violates the understanding find led to a halt in the bombing raids two years full-sca- le Pope Paul VI began a tour of Asia and the Pacific In Manila a Bolivian Identified as Benjamin Mendoza y Amor tried to stab him with a lMncfa knife Girls' waterproof vinyl boots lined with acrylic pile- - insulated insole The Pope wu not harmed Mendoxa said the Pope was “the symbol of superstition and hypocrisy” ' a j novelist Yukio led a raid of rightists on Mis-him- forces headquarters in Tokyo and then committed hara-kiNew Orleans police arrested 31 persons in connection with a Black Panther occupation of an apartment in a black housing Japan's self-defen- ri project Six of than were arrested after a brief gunfight $2 The other 25 were stopped in cars taking them to a Black Panther convention in Washing ton DC Twenty-fiv- e Under pinnings Under priced Comfortable petti calotte in nylon tricot lace trimmed SML Indians observed Thanksgiving Day at Plymouth Mass by burying Plymouth Rock under siuid and seizing a replica of the Mayflower A spokesman said the symbolic takeover wu meant to show the Indian hu the right “to everything on the continent which wu taken away by the white man” Non cling hod iKpm in ihort or avtiagn bngtfn Nylon Doctors Shun tricot SJMl Amphetamines For Obesity SALT LAKE CITY (UPI)-Ampheta- mines u treatused ment for obesity have been shunned by at least 48 Utah doctors In a resolution bearing their names the doctors said that under no circumstances will they perscribe amphetamines or any similar drugs for overweight persons They said foe drugs appear to have “no lasting benefit in the treatment of obesity" The doctors also said foat all Pharmacia and law enforcement agenda have been given their nama and that peremptions bearing their nama for conamphetamina should be sidered forgeries Non-din- g lull dip that Pays INI way normal through amount at walking Nylon baadod loco Neck Rings - - mlnction ejnm dmlmoe otiuvw nun vman iumi tfrn or casual outfit $1 $2 i more ol Our clwniin ihimmy on undvr your outoUnngi m iloak nylon tricot N w colon and Uybi Fashion Handbags in in intoroiting krinklo patMtt oipondvd vmyk mart Styled to delight any woman' bncy For drtM and cowd wvor Stylo $3 (PITOB&SP&P The Christmas Place SHOP MONDAY THRU SATURDAY t TILL 9 P M NOW UNTIL CHRISTMAS $4 $5 $6 |
