"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 1,2 the US
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 return
for work. People receive 3kg of grain and
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 devepp-
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 reli £ organizations closely
monitor the price of grain at local
markets. Langford said Canadian
farmers can appreciate that We dont want
to flood the market with cheap grain and

distributed to the needy in Africa. u
The Food Grains Bank ships grain to
church groups in Africa where it is
distributed, said Langford. The Bank was •
set up in 1975 by the Menonites but now .
contains seven different .protestant chur- •
chs." A representative in. the country re-"
quests the grain and it is provided. •
Langford wanted to make it clear that it
was the small struggling Canadian farmer
who contributed most to African relief not
the rich ones who would not miss the grain. •
