How old must one be to share in the honors of the Nobel Peace Prize? Just old enough and tall enough, it would seem, to be able to reach for a doorbell and ring it on Hallowe'en. Provided, of course, it is under the auspices of the United Nations Child- ren's Fund, which was granted the lofty award just a year ago for saving child- _ren's lives ever since its foundation, on - December 11th 1946. Half a million Canadian boys and girls, from coast to coast, are getting ready to celebrate UNICEF's twentieth anniversary by showing greater enthu- siasm' than ever before in collecting Hallowe'en pennies, nickels and dimes. ~ In months to come these will be trans- formed into vital supplies, equipment, medicines and vaccines for more than 100 under-developed 'countries around ~~ the world; The 'Hallowe'en for UNICEF" pro- _gram has features to please people of In keeping with the tradi- tional Hallowe'en spirit of goodwill and generosity, each Canadian can help UNICEF to continue its vital work by participating in the "Hallowe'en for UNICEF" program. - : ph For the youngsters themselves, it is a fine opportunity to combine their tra- ditional fun with a constructive, reward- ing activity all their own . .'. "the world's greatest effort by children to help children." = For the parents, the venture has re- "assuring aspects of safety and planning since the participants can remain in ~ small groups, and be escorted and sup- ervised. Educators appreciate the program's pre-Hallowe'en period most of all, when their students are stimulated into show- ing greater interest for, and better un- derstanding of, other children's living conditions overseas. Policemen, firemen and other civic authorities appreciate the fact that - wherever a well organized UNICEF program prevails, they can worry less about vandalism and senseless pranks. Last but not -least, for ministers, priests and rabbis, the motto "Share ra- ther than Scare" takes: Hallowe'en away from some of its least desirable conno- tations . . . when young people devote their energy and leisure time to help- ing others, it can well be said that they are taking part in a constructive, bene- ficent endeavor. Some idea of what our boys and girls will accomplish, with our community's generous co-operation, may be found in the fact that every day UNICEF's jeeps, trucks and other vehicles travel roughly the distance of 30 times around the world, or four times the distance = from the earth to the moon.

' Sugar & Spice HERE GOES NOTHING Ever try to think, let alone write, when your nose is dripping like a tap in a tene- ment, you are barking up chunks of lung, your body is crawling with hot and cold needles, and you 'could fry an egg on your forehead? . - : ; Yep, I've got the flu. Don't worry I won't go on about it. Every virile, red-blooded Canadian knows all about the flu. But don't expect a sparklin column this week. Along with those symptoms, my brain is about as agile as a basketful of wet kleenex. But, by golly, tonight is the night of the staff party, and I'm going if it kills me. If this space is blank next week, with a black - border around it, don't send flowers, Just send the equivalent in cash to my wife. Flowers aren't much use to a good-looking widow with two kids to_ educate. And don't grieve or sing sad songs. - Just muse, "Well, he went the way he always wanted to go, smelling strong of Dr. Walker's cough syrup and dancing what he thought was the Watusi with the smashing young blonde who just joined the English Department." But that doesn't solve the problem of writ- ing this column, does it? Well, I'm going to swing in all directions, so, if you aren't a swinger, you can stop reading this and turn to the grocery ads, which are about the most exciting and frustrating reading you can find these days. Speaking of which, did you ever see such prices? I don't know who is pocketing the loot -- farmer, middle-man or retailer -- but they won't even let 'you belly up to the meat counter these days unless you flash a bar of gold bullion. : Wedding anniversaries, I bought 20 yellow roses for my wife on our twentieth anniver- sary. She squealed with ecstasy. It was very romantic, especially when I told her I'd paid for 'them with a cheque on our joint account. rd de Uf But these little romantic gestures really pay off. Three days later, for no better rea- son than that a tap in the bathroom has been dripping for six weeks, she yanked the fad- ing flowers out of the vase, beat me around the face and ears with them, thorns and all, and hurled the rosewater over me. I came up smelling like a yellow rose and she came up to the bathroom, helped me wash off the blood, and fixed the tap herself, } Teenage girls. Somebody sent me a Lon- don Ont., paper for teens. One columnist, .obviously a girl, was sounding off, in disgust with her sisters. This was her pungent ob- servation: "Today's young female goes koo- kie over something that walks around in high heels, tight pants and long locks of hair hang- ing to its shoulders. Girls today are robbed of their sex in more ways than one." Ain't she right? . Strikes. I havé always been a union man, | | but I am fed up, right to the ears, with the arrogance, the lawlessness, and 'the refusal to compromise displayed by many unions this " year.. How about you? Leaders. The perennial game called "Dump Djef" is popular again. I think he should have retired, full of years, honors, and malar- key, long since. But I can't help admiring the old wolf as the pack tries to drag him down. He is a fighter, and there aren't many left. : Advertising. I don't agree with the speak-| er, but I found the following, coming from a big . advertising man, the -most refreshing statement I've read for many a day: "The simple truth is that people don't give a damn about advertising. They never have and they never will . . . People don't care about advertising, they 'care about things. "They care about things that make them happy or beautiful or fat or sober or drunk or alive or human; things that entertain them, transport them, enrich them, protect them or profit them. But they don't give a tuppenny damn about ads." A melancholy picture of the human race. Do you agree? ~Toronto Telegram News Service LAS LEAS BETA SH A £7} LA f LSE HANDICRAFT GUILD By M.
