FOOD AID SHIPMENT
Milk products, vitamins (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, June 14. A $25,000 C.0.R.5.0. consignment of milk products for India will be shipped from New Plymouth on Thursday as part of the organisation’s campaign to provide nutritional aid to developing countries. The consignment, which comprises 802 cartons of milk biscuits in seven different flavours, sufficient skimmed milk powder to enable 30,100 children to have a glass of milk a day for three months, full-cream milk powder to feed 1582 mothers and infant children, and vitamin capsules for 4000 children, will leave New Plymouth in the Straat Colombo for Singapore from where it will be transhipped to Bombay. The director of C.0.R.5.0. (the Rev. H. Dixon) said today that although the organisation was vitally interested at this time in helping East Pakistani refugees, it was not planned to divert any of the shipment to that purpose because the needs of the refugees were different. The milk products in Thursday’s consignment will go to about eight different recipient groups in India.
