PAGE SIX MARS HILL COLLEGE HILLTOP FRIDAY, MAY 2, 19’^' i'' Carit you spare abite to save a life? THE THREAT OF SEVERE MALNUTRITION OR EVEN STARVATION FACES 400 TO 500 MILLION CHILDREN LIVING IN 60 OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. The situation is so grave that the United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, has declared a state of emergency for these children. M^utrition is the biggest single contributor to infant and young child mortality in developing countries, where 25 to 30 percent die before the age of 4. In many parts of Africa almost every child under five suffers from some protein malnutrition. In Latin America and Asia more than half of all childhood deaths are related to malnutrition. AMERICANS HAVE BEEN LUCKY. FAMINE HAS USUALLY BEEN FAR, FAR AWAY FROM US. We are one of a small number of nations—favored with an advanced technology— whose children are the world’s most fortunate. They will have longer and healthier lives than people in developing countries. Harvard nutritionist. Dr. Jean Mayer, says, “We are among the world’s one billion richer people who use almost as much cereal to fatten the livestock they eat as the two billion people in the poor countries eat directly as food. Twenty years ago the average American ate 50 pounds of beef annually; this year he will eat 120 pounds. There’s every good reason from the point of view of health why we should cut down on consumption of animal products. And we would at the same time free enormous amounts of grain for famine relief elsewhere*” TO HELP MEET THE SPECIAL EMERGENCY NEEDS, UNICEF MUST FIND AN ADDITIONAL $80 MILLION IN THE NEXT 12 TO 15 MONTHS. UNICEF, with long experience in helping children in emergencies, is taking immediate action, alerting governments and agencies worldwide about the critical need for action. However, no government or government-agency can act as swiftly as an individual can act Individual contributions, no matter how small, are the children’s main hope for survival at this moment in time. A contribution of even $ 1.00, the average cost of a hamburger, french fries and a soda, can buy a year’s supply of multi-vitamins for a child in a crisis country. $ 15 can bring supplementary food and health services to 5 malnourished children for a month in some developing countries. And $66 can buy a deep well hand-piunp to provide water for drinking and irrigation in drought-stricken areas. Can’t you spare a bite.. .to save a life? Please take time to send your contribution today. UNICEF WORLD CHILD EMERGENCY, 331 E. 38th Street, New Yoric, N.Y. 10016 Men's Battle Tennis Odds by Eric Garner In 1974 the Men's Tennis Team did not win a single match (0-13). This year, under the direction of Alex Robins, the team won its opener 7-2 over Lenior Rhyne but since then (through the Catawba match on Tuesday) the team has faultered and lost ten matches in a row. Bruce Murray and Greg Beam have been alternating at the top two positions while Jeff Cudd and Mark Brewer hold third and forth spots respectfully,and Alan Clouse and Tom Folk round out the six po sitions . Barney Pannell was expected to be a contender for a high position but he missed most of the season due to an op eration . "We are better now than when we started the season," stated Coach Robins, "and we are much improved over last year. The guys are playing real well and working harder and I expect to see a lost of im provement in the near future," Robins con tinued .
