Plans S.Q S.
Campaign in Area
The Matanuska Valley Minis
terial Association is sponsoring
an S. O. S. (Share Our Surplus)
thank offering to be taken in
Valley curches, Children’s homes
or other organizations and at the
union Thanksgiving service to be
held Wednesday evening of
Thanksgiving week, it was an
nounced by T. A. Moyer this
week.
It is planned that all cooperat
ing agencies take offerings or
use other collecting methods de
sirable to secure the funds. These
will then be +umed over to Dale
Bryant, Association secretary, be
fore Thanksgiving so they may
be sent collectively to the Church
World Service headquarters in
New York City. Some area chur
ches have already turned over
their contributions.
The “Share Our Surplus” pro
gram of the churches is made
possible from United States sur
plus food stocks, made available
by the government to religious
and other voluntary relief agen
cies, to be distributed free to
hungry, ill, and destitute people
all over the world. Every dollar
provided can send more than
twenty dollars worth of food tc
undernurished men, women and
children.
The S.O.S. began in November,
1954, and since that time has
helped more than 9.500,000 per
sons, mostly children, in coun
tries all over the world, to at least
one glass of milk each day. The
United States had $7 billion in
surplus commodities on April 30
1955, some in quantities vast
enough to supply all America foi
more than one year. The cost oi
storing this surplus supply of fooc
exceed a million dollars a day.
Religious organizations work
ing together through the Share
Our Surplus program of Churcf
World Service plans to distribute
141,744,425 pounds of surplus
food free to needy peoples over
seas during 1955. But the greates
value in this vast undertaking
Mr. Moyer pointed out, is not se
muchthe feeding program, bu
the restoring of faith within de
spairing souls, rebuilding o
strong bodies among the under
nourished, and the returning o
victims of war famine, and dis
aster to the dignity of seli-suf
ficiency.
