Last Fyiday afternoon the pupils of Port Perry Public | School learned how children of many countries benefit by as- vistance through the United Nations Children's Fund. They saw Danny Kaye in the film "Assignment Children" which showed him on a trip he took around the world for UNICEF. Mrs. D. K. Stiles, chairman of | the Oshawa & District UNI- CEF Committee, explained how they could take part in the UNICEF Hallowe'en Program, | if they wished. When they dress up and go out on Hallowe'en to collect treats ,they also can take a carton along with them to col-' lect pennies for UNICEF. The principal, Mr. -Roy Cornish, is preparing permission sli ps which the pupils may get from their teachers. The signature | of one of their parents on the slip will indicate the parent's | approval of their participation. Only pupils with signed permis- sion slips are given UNICEF cartons. On Friday, Nov. 1st, the day after Hallowe'en UNICEF col- | lectors are asked to turn in! their cartons at the store for- | merly occupied by Stone's Men's Wear, between 12 and 1 or af; ter 3 o'clock.

Susanne is the ninth girl guide to receive this honour in Port. Perry, which | by "Branch will hold'a Remembrance | travel in 'groups--not alone. It is not the amount of money which is the most important as- pect of the program, but the number of children who care | enough to volunteer to take part. | Their knowledge of the United Nations and UNICEF will have | greater meaning when it is! combined with this personal ef- | fort on behalf of sick and hun- gry children in the world. Last year, more than 6,000 children in Ontario County took part in the UNICEF Hallowe'en Program which has been going on for eight years in Oshawa. Fach year the numbers increase because the children feel that UNICEF makes Hallowe'en! even more fun than before.
