About 1 3 million people will die
in Africa in the next few months,
Steve Lewis, a Red Cross spokes

population of Nebraska
Lewis said the news media bring
the starving people of the world
into American living rooms and
kitchens almost every day.
The Red Cross's plan to aid the
starving people will include five
aims:
f To buy food, such as cereals,
edible oils, milk powder, dried
fish, sugar, baby food and protein
tablets.
To buy medical supplies.
To obtain trucks, four-wheel-
drive vehicles and airlift services
to transport good3 to Africa.
To provide trained medical
and relief personnel to coordinate
on-site relief operations.
To install long-range food
production programs.
Lewis urged people to give what
they can, saying that for the price
of a burger, shake and fries, one
