Transylvania Youth To Stage “Trick Or Treat For UNICEF”
The children of many churches in Brevard and its
surrounding communities will unite on Halloween in an
effort to help the children of other nations. This effort
will be in the form of a collection for UNICEF.
UNICEF is the United Nations Children’s Fund that
helps children in more than 100 countries. It is governed
by a 30-nation executive board which meets semi-an
nually to establish the fund’s policies, study government
requests and make allocations. It is financed mainly
by voluntary government contributions.
Aided governments also match UNICEF help by
spending about $2.50 of their own money on projects
for every $1.00 given by UNICEF. UNICEF is helping
to improve health, nutrition and social services for some
55 million children and mothers.
The children who collect for UNICEF have agreed
to give up the “treat” usually given them by their
neighbors in exchange for pennies dropped into their
milk containers. These pennies will be turned into
milk, medical supplies and various other urgent neces
sities for children of the world.
Any church that may not have been contacted, or
anyone else interested in participating may contact Mrs.
Charles W. Cook, phone 883-4461.
