GOVERNOR RECEIVES GIFT
GOVERNOR RECEIVES GIFT
FROM CHILDREN OF SPAIN
ATLANTA,—M o n s ignor Cor
nelius L. Maloney, representing
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference and Bishop Francis E.
Hyland, presented to Governor
Marvin Griffin a beautiful hand-
tooled leather album from the
children of Spain. Mr. Miller rep
resenting the United States De
partment of Agriculture at the
presentation which was taped for
a news-cast on radio Station
WGST.
Since October of 1954 one of the
major efforts of Catholic Relief
Services—N. C. W. C. has been
a daily school-feeding program
which benefits, .over two million
children daily in fifty-two thou
sand schools throughout Spain.
This program has been made
possible through donations of sur
plus foods by the United States
Department of Agriculture for
needy persons overseas and has
resulted in one of the most suc
cessful person-to-person assistance
projects undertaken by our gov
ernment through a v o 1 untary
agency operating overseas.
Under this program, the two
million children are receiving a
glass of milk and a ration of
cheese daily .The preparation of
the daily lunch has been made
possible with the magnificent co
operation of the Spanish National
Ministry of Education and school
teachers themselves throughout
the land.
A marked improvement in the
health and growth of children
has been officially reported—in
some areas, the incidence of TB
has been reduced as much as 50%
—as well as an increased atten
dance in schools throughout the
land. The children are fully aware
of the source of their school lunch,
that it is a gift of the people of
the United States.
In addition to the school-feeding
program, another two million in
dividuals and families in Spain
are assisted with the essential
supplement to their deficient diet
by means of the surplus foods do
nated by the United States De
partment of Agriculture through
Catholic Relief Services—N. C.
W. C. 1
On the second anniversary of
the school lunch program the
children of Spain, as.-: an expres
sion of gratitude for the genero
sity of the American people, pre
pared this leather bound volume
to be presented to the Governor
of Georgia as our representative
of the people of this State. This
handsome volume depicts life in
a particular Spanish province. The
volume also carries a letter of
appreciation from the Spanish Na
tional Ministry of Education to
the Governor.
The album was originally pre
sented to Ambassador John Davis
Lodge in Madrid by twenty child
ren representing the two million
children who benefit from the
school lunch program each day.
Since Catholic Relief Services—
N. C. W. C. is the agency admini
stering the program in Spain, the
volume was consigned to it for
presentation to the Governor of
Georgia.
