The presentation was made by Mickey Finn, director of Community Extension at the West Suburban YMCA in LaGrange. Mr. Finn has spent a great deal of time working with youth problems and speaks from his experiences in youth counseling. His approach to youth is a direct, no-holds-barred student attitude on a subject that he considers presents a great danger to our youth today. Mr. Finn told his audience, which was composed of all grade levels, "that if your friends are taking drugs and try to get you to, then Pd hate to see who you think your enemies are! No real friend would try to kill you and that's exactly what drugs will do. Make no mistake about that, drugs are a slow, painful, and ugle way to die. There is nothing amusing about having a bad heart or a mal -functioning liver. No friends would say that watching someone exhibiting the * symptoms connected with taking narcotics is funny. The actions and feeling of lack of balance, dry lips, crawling around like a baby, screaming and kicking, physically punishing yourself and not eating are all associated with narcotics, and the phenomenon called "taking a trip". He told the teenagers that narcotics symptoms can re-appear after several years and are just as painful. "The best way to prevent narcotics taking a hold in your community," he said, "istoget all the facts, read articles and discuss the problem with others. You can't help someone who is taking drugs, that's a professional job, but you personally can see that others you know won't start because they realize what the deadly dangers are." He stated that he was a - gainst the legalization of marajuana, although^ doesn't cause physical damage, it usually leads to more* destructive drugs. "Society needs to be changed," he said, "but withdrawal from the problems is not the answer, and that's what narcotics is. Many of the problems which contribute to youth's using narcotics are family centered." In conclusion he pointed out, "that if you want to get back at those you think are frustrating you, go take narcotics, it's guaranteed to kill them with sorrow." Response to the assembly program was very positive, and a question and answer period followed each presentation. This was the first type of community service presentation by the Lake Region YMCA, but it is hoped that this approach to teenagers will help to make them aware of the far-reaching interests and purposes of the "Y" movement and convince them there's a place at the "Y" for them, whatever their interests and concerns.

SHOP IN MCHENRY Mrs. Guido Pantaleoni, Jr., President of the U.S. Committee for UNICEF,. hands a check to UN Secretary-General U Thant and ' Henry Labouisse, Executive Director of the United Nations Children's Fund, as the final payment of a record $5.,850,000 raised by the Committee during its 1967-68 fiscal year ending March 31. The new record contribution is $274,000 over the previous peak of public support reached in 1965-66, when' UNICEF was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Over half of the total was raised by millions of U.S. school children in their annual "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" drive last H alloween. •The remainder came from the sale of UNICEF Greeting Cards, the college students' Food for India campaign, and other public appeals to help support UNICEF-aided child-care projects in more than 120 countries. "We see this as heartening evidence of the continuing determination of U.S. citizens to help close the gap between the mounting needs of the world's children and the limited resources available to UNICEF to meet them" said Mrs. Pantaleoni.
