A gift of 1750 tonnes of wheat flour has left Australia for Ethiopia. The flour will be used as part of the feeding program being conducted by the Christian Churches in Ethiopia. It has been provided by the Australian Church agencies Australian Baptist World Aid and Relief Committee, Australian Lutheran World Service, Australian Council of Churches and Australian Catholic Relief -through funds provided by the Oz for Africa Appeal. The cost of purchase, freight and distribution of the flour will exceed $1.3 million. A spokesman for the agencies involved, Michael Whiteley, said that food would be needed in Ethiopia throughout 1986. "The rains over the past months have seen a marked improvement in the situation," Mr Whiteley said. "However, the effects of the drought have been so severe that it will take two or three seasons before Ethiopia can provide for its own food needs," he added. Mr Whiteley said the agencies concerned were all involved in longer term rehabilitation programs partitularly the through provision of secure water supplies and both seeds and fertilisers for re-establishing agriculture. "In the meantime," he said, "it is important that the world does not forget the immediate needs of the people. They have survived the
worst of the calamity but now
they need our continuing support to ensure that the improvement in their living conditions is maintained." The flour will be distributed by the Churches' Drought Action for Africa consortium

His move to Rome came at the end of 30 years in
the United States as a pastor, lecturer and commentator until becoming Metropolitan for the Ukrainian Catholics
in the USA in 1979. Born in Oolyna in the Western Ukraine, he entered the Lviv Seminary in 1934 under the Josef Slipyi whom he would succeed and who was imprisoned for many years by the Russians before his eventual release and exile. While studying at Innsbruck he returned briefly to Lviv for his ordination in 1938 but Nazi pressure forced him to finish his studies in Switzerland. In 1942 he moved to Rome to complete a master degree in bible studies and also to study medicine at Rome University.
