' MUSill' and M eanderin' From two sources we have received contradictory information concerning the UNICEF organization, the United Nations Children's Fund which is most active each yeHi* at Halloweeti time. The UNICEF appeal, which uses as its theme, "Helping children build a better world" lists as its goal preventing the circumstances which cause children to suffer. Recalling its ^ contributions to millions of boys and girls who are hungry, UNICEF attempts to "feed, heal and educate them so that they may later help themselves; to bring about living conditions in which poverty and disease will no longer thrive; to wipe today's appalling conditions, of which children are the first and most helpless victims off the face of the earth." From a.1 unidentified source, material has reached our desk from *he National Defense committee in Washington, D.C., which claims that when public officials sign letters commending the operation of UNICEF, they are using their prestige to entice people to support and to strengthen political charity programs, the purpose of which is to bringpeople under government subjection; also that the United States annual contribution to UNICEF is about $32 million, comprising a $12 million cash contribution, about $18 million of dry milk and the balance in Trick or Treat and card sale profits." UNICEF, like many another organization, has its detractors as opposed to the many thousands who promote the worthy intention of the organization. Also like many another undertaking, each side purports to be stating facts, and it would take much more knowledge than we have at hand to say which are correct. No programs, even those with the most sincere intentions and with the highest percentage of accomplishment, can claim 100 percent efficiency. It seems sufficient that they are taking on something which needs to be done. Of one thing we are sure, the youngsters who solicit for funds for UNICEF next weekend have learned the very important boost to character building which we call sharing and a , responsibility toward others. These are the boys and girls who live in your neighborhood and mine, and for us this is enough to assure our contribution. KAp REQUEST ADDRESSES Names and addresses of servicemen in the Vietnam area will be printed in an early November issue. Daylight Time Ends Oct. 29 After six months of daylight saving time, McHenry residents will turn their clocks back one hour before retiring next Saturday evening and gain an extra hour of sleep.
