TWO BILLION REASONS TO GIVE When a child suffers from severe malnutrition, he becomes too weak to cry out . . . even to beg for help. Eventually, his brain becomes irreparably damaged so that he can never again function as a normal human being. Today in Biafra, the hundreds of thousands of children facing this fate still could be rescued, if sufficient help were provided in time. And, although world attention has been focused on Biafra, intense human suffering is spread around the world . . . throughout South America, Africa, Asia where two billion “have-nots” go to bed hungry and hopeless. This year an absolute minimum of $lO million is required to maintain this vital lifeline to the impoverished peoples throughout the world. To help, send your donation to the nearest Catholic church or to Catholic Overseas Aid Fund, Empire State Building, New York, N.Y. 10001. The latest estimate of the earth’s area place the fertile regions at 33 million square miles, steppes at 19 million miles and deserts at five million.

Local Holstein Earns 2E Designation For Body Type Emra G. Stookey, Milford, has been notified by HolsteinFriesian Association of America that a registered Holstein cow in his herd has received an “E” designation for body type conformation. On the basis of her again being classified “excellent”. Jury Creek Inka Jane 6075903 has been awarded 2E designation. This phase of the Holstein Association's herd improvement service provides special recognition for “Excellent” cows that continue to score “Excellent” as they grow older. A cow may be designated 2,3, or 4E according to her history of previous “Excellent” classifications within specified age brackets. Among the 88,500 registered Holsteins scored for body type last year, less than two per cent attained “excellent” status. Thus the achievement of multiple “E” designation makes the individual cow a more valuable asset for herd improvement purposes in the dairyman’s breeding program.
