THE FACES OF missing children appear on milk cartons in the United States. But in France recently, 1,000 young people had their faces on wine labels, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The kids weren't missing - they were looking for jobs.
``The idea is to help people find jobs, and to incite other professionals to put in place similar initiatives,'' said Veronique Bourgeois, a spokeswoman for the project.
The wines were from 53 producers in southwestern France. The project's creators were inspired by a program in Paris, in which resumes were printed on restaurant place mats. ANIMAL CRACKERS
When is it all right to eat an elephant?
When it's an animal cracker, of course.
