BALL MINISTER Robert Blackwell Director of M-usic Con re ati n learns BY TED SPOONER "It is important for Canadians to realize tens of thousands of Ethiopians are alive today because of Canadian assistance," said Don Langford of United Church Missions. Langford spoke at North Steet United Church on Sunday about conditions and the state of• development in Africa. According to Langford, the rains have come to Africa and eased the drought and famine situation. He returned -Feb. 1 from a food study tour of Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Mosambi- que. The tour provided exposure to local situations and food distibution.proceedure. Members of the tour are speaking to Cana- dian churches about African relief. Langford has been speaking to three or four churches per week since he has retrurned. He travels next to Winnipeg to speak. ' Contributions from the United States are now only a fraction' of Canada's, said Langford. The Americans no longer want to aid a country that has remained Marx- ist. One Canadian ship carrying grain, currently at the lake head, bound for Mon- treal then Africa, is equal to contribution. African aid is a three-phase plan— relief, rehabilitation and development, he said Relief people are too weak to work and food is given to - them to build' their strength- - ° Rehabilatation: food is given in ,ret,r,n for work. People receive 3kg of grain ° ;,amu. 125m1 of cooking oil per person, per day as payment for manual labour. Later in the program some' money is given for work so families can ,buy meat and clothing.. This aspect, says Langford leads to the deveop- ment phase. Development: church 'groups in Africa. sell the grain to - Ethiopian Marketing Board and this creates a cash flow. Money is available to the people in exchange for work.' The people can now buy farm equip- ment and oxen to produce their own. food. However relief organizations closely monitor .the price of grain at local markets.
