The shipment was authorized on November 1 by CFB Board members meeting in Winnipeg.

SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVEJJ 60 YEARS Clinton Area MICHAEL FALCONER 153 MGH STREET, CLINTON 482-9441 Goderich Area ROBERT McCALLUM 11 CAMBRIA ROAD, GODERICH 524-7345 Mozambique" drive Is still in the early stages and doing well. Donations through local committees are respected to increase as the harvest progresses. A member of the Christian Council of Mozambique, Jim Shenk, spoke personally to the Foodgrains Bank Board and stressed the urgency. In a situation similar to Ethiopia, Mozambique has been ravaged by drought for five years. Food distribution is disrupted further by civil strike. The death toll from malnutrition and related disease may be 100,000 in just one province, accor- ding to another source. Loewen says the corn will be shipped from Windsor. It is due to leave by the end of November and would arrive three to four weeks after leaving the Seaway. Deliveries will be to the Christian Council at the ports of Maputo and Beira. The Coun- cil will supervise distribution inland, assur- ing donors that it reaches the mouths of those who most need it. Donations of cash and grain to the Foodgrains Bank, in addition to being tax deductible, are matched three -to -one by CIDA, the Canadian International Develop- ment Agency. For example, a $25 donation becomes $100 – enough todeliver the corn and feed two people for up to a year. It costs CFB approximately 13 cents to deliver a pound of corn, the typical daily consumption to sustain life. Approximately six to seven bushels will feed a person for a year. Total target of the Corn for Life: Mozam- bique drive is one million dollars. Corn growers are encouraged to deliver a load to their local elevator, then forward their corn cheque to the CFB's drive. Donations may also be mailed directly to: Canadian Foodgrains Bank, Box 767, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 214. In addition to the Mennonite Central Com- mittee, Canadian Baptist Federation and the United Church of Canada, other part- ners in the Canadian Foodgrains Bank are Canadian Lutheran World Relief, Pentecosta Assemblies of Canada, Chris- tian and Missionary Alliance and:the Chris- tian Reformed World Relief. Each has a separate account in the Foodgrains Bank.
