NRT R Editorial Page| Children Support UNICEF In today's world millions of children are ill-fed, poorly cloth- ed and unschooled. We have never seen them: They are the "Faceless" Children. ; Canadians as world citizens are increasingly aware that knowledge and understanding, tolerance and compassion, are the keys to the future. UNI- CEF (United Nations Child- ren's Fund) is one of these keys. Established under Unit- ed Nations, it is an Internation- al effort to give every child freedom from disease and hun- ger, an education and opportun- ity to earn a living. UNICEF, participated in by 120 countries with 477 projects, is a co-operative effort to im- . prove the lot of the world's children. Interested govern- ments must first request UNI- CEF assistance. For each UNI- CEF dollar from the UNICEF Fund these governments pro- vide the equivalent of $2.50 on approved projects. This assist- ance is given on the basis of need regardless of political be- liefs, race or creed. What actual RIGHTS does. a child have these days? The basic right merely to live would seem to be the most obvious perogative of every child born into this world, wouldn't it? For without the right to live, what other rights are there? Yet every day thirty thousand children on this planet die of hunger and disease. Every day thirty thousand children lose the most fundamental rights a human being can have. And every day, relatively speaking, "the world loses -- in children-- the entire population of a medium-sized - Canadian city. That's every day -- of every week -- of every month of the year . . . because they couldn't get enough to eat. ~ Now what can a dime drop- ped in an orange and black UNICEF box on Hallowe'en TR ox = "this late stage'. - stop smoking. night accomplish in the face of such a mind - shattering daily. tragedy? The child holding the UNICEF - collcetion box (UNICEF stands for the Unit- ed Nations Children's Fund) will tell you that one dime will provide sixty glasses of milk anywhere in the world where they are needed. That's a lot of nourishment. At Hallowe'en time gaily dressed youngsters will come knocking at your door. For them you will have ready the traditional treats. But Cana- dian youngsters will feel hap- pier if you place in their UNICEF collection boxes money for their "Faceless" friends.

It seemed to hit the spot. Fan mail doubled, from two to four letters. I even received a declaration of love from a lady who shall be nameless. But October is another matter. I think we Canadians love it in a different way, this most glorious month of the year. It's the month when we wake up, come alive, feel the blood coursing through our hard- ening arteries. : It's a shattering experience for someone from another country 'to visit Canada: in They are used to a change in the fall. Their leaves turn pallid browns and yellows. But when they see a vista of woods . and water on a golden Canadian October day, they are literally stricken breathless. We say, "Pretty ain't it?" An Irishman a might say in awe, "Dear God, Himself has dumped a rainbow, all but the blue, into your woods. And the blue He has flung entirely into your water." But the vast, mad artist's palette, thrown across the country, is only part of the " October scene and mood. There's a quickening of 4he spirit that infects. everyone. Fall fairs, those stub- born relics of a pioneer day, add their spe- cial flavor. Parades and pumpkin pies, hot dogs and horse races, and the warm, yel- low wine of a Canadian October day, are unforgettable. / Hunters go into their special trance in this month. They crouch in duck blinds, they crawl through fences, they curse their misses. (And sometimes their missuses, who can't see the point of it all.) Golfers go goofy in October, desperately trying to get in the last few rounds, losing balls by the dozen among the fallen leaves, and praying for one more good weekend. Sailing enthusiasts snatch every chance to get out in that perfect weather the month so often provides: nice breeze, warm sun, water so blue it makes your heart leap. And, so cold it makes your hands ache. || § {41 : October is ecstasy for the sport fan, Sugar and Spice 3 World Series, pro hockey, and football at its height.

He has got through that muddle of September, and can now settle down to the serious business of falling in love, falling behind in his work, and falling into deep water, in that order. : And then, there's the burning of the leaves, a- ritual which should be on the Canadian coat of arms.
