Operation Rice Bowl” Means
Self-Help For Third World
NEW YORK (NC) - People in more than 70 Third
World countries will receive pumps, wells, tools, seeds,
goats and chickens because American families choose to
skimp on one meal a week during Lent.
For six years families in dioceses around the country
have made one meal each week during Lent an
inexpensive, sacrificial one and donated the money saved
to Operation Rice Bowl. The 1982 program begins Feb.
24 and small cardboard bowls again are being distributed
for the contributions.
According to Bishop Edwin B. Broderick, executive
director of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), “In the past six
years, Operation Rice Bowl has raised over $13 million,
allowing CRS to aid millions of poor each year. With
Operation Rice Bowl donations, CRS has provided needed
programs that educate, train and encourage the poor to
help themselves.”
Seventy-five percent of all Rice Bowl funds go to CRS,
the U.S. Catholic overseas aid agency, and 25 percent may
be kept by the diocese to fight hunger at the local level.
CRS has assisted thousands of refugees and displaced
people with emergency relief such as food, temporary
CLASSIFIEDS
shelters, clothing and medicine, but most of Operation
Rice Bowl funds goes to self-help kinds of programs,
according to Crosier Father Laurence M. Olszewski, CRS
coordinator of diocesan activities.
For example, in Jordan CRS has supplied 40,000 olive
seedlings “to help the poor small farmer have a steady
income,” said Father Olszewski. The sale of the olives
could be used to provide better food for the families.
In India CRS plans to train 1,600 young women as
community nutrition educators to conduct programs for
mothers with young children.
A $35,000 water supply project is designed to increase
the quantity, quality and availability of water supplies in
Yemen. The project includes environmental controls and a
program of health hygiene education.
Rural development is a growing activity for CRS.
Farming cooperatives have been established and funds
from Operation Rice Bowl are used to purchase tools,
seeds and fertilizer. The funds also provide trained
personnel to teach farmers efficient farming and storage
techniques.
Animal husbandry projects are also funded through
Operation Rice Bowl. Sheep, goats and chickens have
been purchased for both food and breeding purposes in
Morocco, Portugal and Tunisia.

Haig Comments “Amaze” CRS Official
BY STEPHENIE OVERMAN
WASHINGTON (NC) - Bishop Edwin B. Broderick,
executive director of Catholic Relief Services, said he was
“amazed and confused” that Secretary of State Alexander
M. Haig Jr. portrayed CRS and other agencies as
overburdened in delivering aid to Poland.
Bishop Broderick said Feb. 3 in a telephone interview
that far from being overburdened, “we could handle twice
as much” aid to Poland through Polish Catholic Church
officials.
CARE Washington field representative Elise Storck said
“we’re proceeding very nicely with aid” to Poland. She
said the 'New York-based agency is able to oversee
distribution of CARE packages.
Haig said the United States may be forced to work with
the Polish government to distribute food aid in Poland
because the facilities of the Catholic Church and private
groups such as CRS, the U.S. Catholic overseas aid agency,
are overtaxed.
Poland has suffered economic problems and food
shortages since last summer. Martial law was imposed in
December, cracking down on Poland’s free trade union
Solidarity.
The secretary of state, testifying before the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee Feb. 2, said a backlog of
$65 million in U.S. food assistance -- “enough to feed 2
million people for six months” - cannot be delivered.
“We might have to create a special group to distribute
food if the human conditions require and perhaps work
with the government if we have adequate assurances that
food aid is going to the people and not benefitting the
government, the army,” he said.
Bishop Broderick said he and Cardinal John Krol of
Philadelphia met with Haig in January and he assured the
secretary of state that “we were able to handle the food
immediately and distribute it judiciously.” The bishop
said he told Haig his agency could handle twice the
amount and Haig thanked him for the information.
Asked about Haig’s suggestion that a special group be
set up to distribute food, Bishop Broderick said, “We’re
content, we’re very satisfied with the process we have
now. We work only through the church and we’re sending
needed food in great abundance.”
CRS has delivered almost 30 million pounds of food
since the agency started sending supplies last July. Also,
about 1 million pounds of clothing and 200,000 pairs of
shoes have been sent, Bishop Broderick said. Shipments go
out about every two weeks and there have been no

disruptions, even after martial law was declared, the
bishop added.
About 110,000 23-pound CARE packages have been
sent to Poland since last summer, according to Ms. Storck.
The director of CARE Norway, Torvild Skallerud, has
gone to Poland, several times to oversee food distribution,
she said, and CARE International executive director Philip
Johnston visited Poland in January to receive assurance ‘
from the government that CARE staff in the country
would not be interfered with.
In rural areas CARE has worked through local welfare
committees, representatives of the Polish Red Cross,
church and community leaders and, before martial law,
Solidarity representatives.
A State Department official did not answer questions
about Haig.’s observation and the response of
humanitarian aid agencies. The spokesman acknowledged
Feb. 3 that “humanitarian aid is getting there in proper
order and in proper time.” I i
In a statement prepared for the press, the State
Department announced that it has been in close contact
with the charitable organizations and “ .. .all of our
information confirms that this aid is proceeding smoothly,'
The administration is considering the question of further
humanitarian food aid to be routed through private
agencies.”
