Ruthven man named 1958 Palo Alto CROP chairman
Martin Simonson of Ruthven has been named Palo Alto County chairman for the Christian Rural Overseas Program. The Iowa CROP office in Des Moines announced the appointment as relief efforts expand in twenty six countries. Director John Nolin cited rising needs in the Near East and North Africa amid political upheaval, with malnutrition among Arab refugees in Lebanon and growing Lebanese victims of fighting. He noted about 65,000 Algerian refugees in Tunisia needing aid and 3,000 to 5,000 more Algerians arriving monthly. Hong Kong faces successive epidemics threatening relief work.
