LOS ANGELES-The head of an international relief agency has appealed to the American housewife to voluntarily tighten her family's weekly food budget. Dr. W.

Stanley Mooneyham, president of World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian organization working in 31 countries, feels that the present world food crisis calls for such action. Mooneyham recently resur- veyed famine conditions in Africa' and Asia and was appalled by the magnitude of the problem and the bleak outlook for the future. He pointed out that in Africa the area affected measures some two million square miles, which is more than half the size of the United States. "One of the major problems," he said, "is that of changing weather patterns over the past few years. Africa's Sahara desert has been extending itself southward nearly 100 miles a year.

Part of India's monsoon rains are now dropping uselessly into the ocean." The shortage of food, Mooneyham noted, is not limited to Africa and India. Near famine conditions also exist in parts of South America and Southeast Asia. "In fact, in nearly 80 percent of all the countries of the world, food demand now exceeds foor production," he said. Mooneyham is convinced that it is impossible for most Americans to imagine hunger because so few of us have really experienced it. "Hunger is not a growling reminder from our stomachs that we have missed a meal," he stated emphatically.

"The hunger experienced by nearly half the world's population is that of malnutrition and starvation which weakens body defenses and results in 10,000 persons dying every day." Meanwhile, he sadly exclaimed, Americans continue to overeat and spend millions of dollars on pills, doctors, equipment and other dietary aids to lose weight. In spite of the United States' overabundance, Mooneyham is not so unrealistic to believe that Americans are going to significantly alter their lifestyles although he thinks Christians should seriously consider doing so. But, more realistically and with keen perception, he believes American housewives are the key to providing more U.S. food to the starving world. The average housewife in a family of four probably spends a minimum of $30 to $40 weekly on food," he said.

"She knows far better than I how she could cut down by $4 or $5 less than $1 a day, if it were necessary." Obviously, Mooneyham thinks it is necessary, and he believes such voluntary action would benefit most families. "We Americans, and especially our youth, eat too many junk foods whose nutritional value is marginal at best." WHOLE AMERICANS overeat and diet, 40 percent of the people in the world are existing on 40 cents a day and 10,000 of them each day are dying. Town Crier Hazel O'Rourke, 1356 Pennsylvania ave. has been admitted to Altoona Hospital. Eric Sprankle, Tyrone RD 4, has been discharged from Altoona Hospital.

Ernest E. Harshbarger, Pleasant Valley Blvd. Altoona, celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary on May 30. Salvagers Hunt Treasure Ships GEORGETOWN, S.C. (UPI) A professor of archeology has joined a salvage team in an effort to determine if a report of sunken Spanish treasure ships in Winyah Bay is a hoax.

Dr. Robert L. Stephenson said Thursday there was a "distinct possibility "of a hoax. "There are questions about whether the whole thing is for true or whether it's a hoax," said Stephenson, head of the University of South Carolina Institute of Archeology and Anthropology. Stephenson said he would meet today with officials of Expeditions Unlimited, which has been conducting the search, to do "some re-evaluation of the whole thing." He said he expected to have a more definitive statement about whether the recovery operations would continue by Saturday.

Wade Quattlebum, a marine contractor and amateur diver from Vance, claims he discovered the ships in 1967 and that they contained some $87 million worth of gold and silver. He has been at odds with state officials since 1970 over salvage rights and he has refused to reveal the locations of the vessels until the state promises to build a state museum to house the ships and any artifacts recovered NO VEHICLE IS SAFER than its driver. That goes for motorcycles, too. Cyclists should assume that the car driver does not see them, and therefore drive defensively. This way you won't be caught off guard by other drivers.
