heart of Mennonite country
in the province.
The Plain People as they
are sometimes called are
well-known throughout most
Third World countries for
the aid given wherever and

Mennonite Central Com-

and when money is donated,
you can bet your best barn

where it is needed.
The committee has
organized some innovative
ideas over the years, the
most famous of which is the
Mennonite Relief Sale held
in New Hamburg annually
on the last Saturday of May.
This fall, with the help of
many other church
organizations, the Men-
nonite Central Committee
(MCC) organized Corn for
the Horn whereby a ship was
filled with donated corn to
feed the starving people in
south-east Africa.
Now, another innovative
idea has been born in the
