Food getting to Ethiopia, but the need continues Despite a monumental drive to help feed famine - stricken' Ethiopia, a vast need still exists, says Wilbert Loewen, executive director of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. - A serious shortfall in the 1985 grain harvest in Ethiopia means the crisis in .the African nation is far from over, even though media attention , to the famine has declined, Mr. Loewen reported to the CFB's executive committee on Dec. 9 and 10 in Winnipeg.

He alsd investigated an earlier spoilage problem that resulted ,when a sudden' storm dumped 36 milimetres of rain in a little more than one hour on grain/that just had been unloaded. He described the spoilage as a freak accident that is unlikely to recur. "I'm satisfied that our grain, is getting through to the'people who need it," Mr. Loewen said. This . year - the Canadian Foodgrains Bank has sent 37,500 tonnes of grain to Ethiopia, about half of CFB's .total. volume. This repre' sentS 750 box cars of grain or a railway train seven -and - a -half miles long. Another large shipment is due to leave Canada in early Janu- ary. "Our aid has been very much. appreciated," My. Loewen says. "People I met there said our :shipments have been very helpful, • but they pleaded with us not to stop now.. They wanted me to carry back the message that the need is still great, even though the headlines aren't as prominent anymore." According to the United Nations Office of.Emergency Operations, between five and six •million Ethiopians will need nearly a million tonnes of food aid in the next year. This •.is about equal 'to thetotal aid sent to Ethiopia in 1985. The need continues to be serious because Ethiopia's own grain harvest fell below expectations . this year. The ,1985 harvest was 20 to 25per cent better than last year's disastrous crop, but still 13 per cent below average.

Keith Moffat Plumbing and Heating BLUEVALE 357-1774 caused the shortfall, Mr. Loewen says!' The people didn't have enough seed to do a full planting and many were too weak from hunger to tend their crops. Other problems included insect, infestations and a shorter than usual rainy season. "The current crop will run out by late February or early March," Mr. Loewen says. "They need enough aid to keep them going until next year's crop season. So we have a long way to go yet." Mr. Loewen says the program is moving from • relief to longer-term de- velopment aid in the form of "food -for -work" projects: Ethiopians who are able to do so are being asked to "earn" • their ,rations by helping with taks, such as digging wells. "The people like to feel they .are earning their grain," says Mr. Loewen. "It preserves a certain amount of dignity."
