CARE milk gift poster, Ceylon (Tamil poster distributed in Colombo)
A Tamil-language version of the CARE milk poster: a cuffed hand pours milk into a cup on a school slate over a map of the Americas and a yellow outline of Ceylon. The text names a gift through CARE from the people of the United States to Ceylon's schoolchildren, with 7000 tons of milk for more than 1,250,000 children in over 6000 schools. The tell is transfer: the gift is credited to the American people through the hand and map.
