Just old enough and tall enough, it would seem, to be able to reach for a doorbell and ring it on Hallowe’en. Provided, of course, it is under the auspices of the United Nations Chil- dren’s Fund, which was granted the lofty award just a year ago for saving children’s lives ever since its founda­ tion, on December1 11, 1946; Half a million Canadian boys and girls, from coast to coast, are getting ready to celebrate UNICEF’s twentieth anniversary by showing greater enthus­ iasm’than ever before in collecting Hal­ lowe’en pennies, nickels and dimes, In months to come these will be transform­ ed into vital supplies, equipment, medi­ cines and vaccines fori more than 100 under-developed countries around the world. - z , The “Hallowe’en for UNICEF” pro­ gram has features to please all people of all minds. In keeping with the tradi­ tional Hallowe’en spirit of goodwill and generosity, each Canadian can help UNICEF to continue its vital, work by participating in the1 “Hallowe’en for UNICEF” program. For the youngsters themselves, it is a fine opportunity to combine their traditional fun with a constructive, re* warding activity p.11 their own . . . “the world’s greatest effort by children to help children?1 .* Educators appreciate the program’s pre-Hallowe’en period most of all, when their students are -Stimulated into show­ ing greater interest for, and better un- ; dprstaindincr of. other children’s Irvine- <>derstanding of, other children’s living conditions overseas. Policemen, firemen and other civic authorities appreciate the fact that wherever a well organized UNICEF pro* gram prevails, they can worry less (about vandalism and senseless pranks. Last but not least, for ministers, priests and rabbis, the motto “Share rather than Scare” takes Hallowe’en away from, some of its least desirable connotations . . . when young people de­ vote their energy and leisure time to helping, others, it can well be said that they are taking part in a constructive, ' beneficent endeavor. The organizers of the local “Hal­ lowe’en for UNICEF” program most certainly deserve that their selfless and efficient efforts should meet with un­ qualified success. Good Hunting EACH YEAR, over one million Canadians take to the bush, fields, and marshes in search of game. Most of this activity is indulged in at this time with ; the opening of the duck and deer sea--, son. , . , . Thousands of other Canadians par­ ticipate in organized target shooting with pistols, rifles, and shotguns all year round. These members of gun clubs are carefully instructed in safe gun hand­ ling, so accidents seldom occur. However, this is not so with the untrained hunters after game alone or .with companions. “Since firearms do not cause acci­ dents or discharge accidentally by them­ selves, they must be loaded with am­ munition by someone and someone must operate them intentionally or otherwise to cause them to fire,” points out Hal Wright, Qntario Department of Agri­ culture arid Food Farm Safety Special­ ist. “Most of the shooting accidents are therefore caused by horseplay or care­ lessness. “In order to prevent accidents, a hunter should be sure that all guns are unloaded before putting (them into a car or particularly a home. Check every gun that is picked up to ensure that it Is Safe Hunting is unloaded. Never allow guris to be pointed at anyone, even if all the cart- ridges seem to be back in their box. 1 Never pull the trigger of a gun to check whether it is loaded or to release the action lock. “If your sons want to become hun­ ters, teach them to become good hun­ ters by setting, an example. Obey all the laws of good hunting practice and common sense.” All-Purpose Pill THE PILL is occupying the atten­ tion of a great many people almost to the exclusion of everything else. It is designed to prevent life. But in England scientists are .working on a pill designed to prevent death; it will protect hu­ mans from the after-effects of atomic explosions and has already been tested on human guinea pigs with encouraging success. This development of two pills, one to prevent life, the other to prevent death, suggests that what we really need is a third pill to be taken by politicians, an all-purpose pill that would- prevent both population explosions and every other kind. —-The Montreal Star. i? mibrom lhe FASHION CHANGES in automo­ bile colors continue unpredictable with' white currently losing its. eight-year lead to various shades of (bluer accord­ ing to a jreport in Canadian Paint & Finishing. At the zenith of its fashion, white was chosen for 25.5 percent cars in 1962 but has dropped to just over 17 percent in 1966, while 24.5 percent were chosen in blue of one Shade or another. At Chevrolet, they believe that body styling has most to do with color choice, the recent sculptured styles look­ ing best in solid colors. As recently as 1960 some 25 percent of Chevs were sold in two-tone. Some experts say that a low state of the economy leads to the choice of black. Studies at Indiana University, con­ cluded that an oncoming car is most easily seen if it is white, but a Swedish investigation rates pink the safest. Two- tone blue and orange was the choice of a California safety study group some years ago.

Gallery HENRY F. HEALD OTTAWA Earlier year when the Progressive Cqn- sei’vative opposition in Parlia­ ment was giving Justicp Min­ ister Cardin such a roxigh tixnie oypr .the Spencer .and Munsing- er atffaiirs (before t/lie reports of Justice Wells and Ju’sfice.

It. appears they have 'Chosen Defence Minister Paul Heliyer as their first target. The vehicle for the attack is the proposed scheme to first in--- tegrate an deventuailly unify the nation’s mWary forces. During the spring and ■ early summer opposition members Continually badgered Mr. He'll- yer With questions about low morale in the services, inade­ quate . recruitment schemes, unequal” pay arrangements, but the attach didn’t realty get off the ground. Through a quirk of fate (or a stroke of luck.if you are a Liberal) the famous Admirals Revolt* broke the day after the House rose for the summer recess and had lost most of its steam by the time the MPs returned to Ottawa for the special session of parlia­ ment late in August. The Tories did try to extend the session for a debate ondefence, but failed, Terry Nugent (PC — Ed­ monton Strathcona) opened the next round after the Thanks­ giving weekend with a motion for an adjournment and special debate based on the claim, that the Minister of Defence had al­ tered the evidence which Ad­ miral Landymore gave to the defence committee on June 25. The Speaker ruled that he' could hardly consider as urgent a matter that had 'been kicked around Since June. Nugent countered that he had been ap­ pointed to the defence commit­ tee and thus had just been able to get the proof he required. The Speaker held firm. Nugent returned to the attack the,next day with -a demand that HeiHyer be brought before the committee on privileges and elections to face a charge of impunging the honor of another MP. Mr. Hellyer-had described Mr. Nugent’s Claims of the. day before as “spurious”. Speaker Lamoureux brushed aside the claim with the suggestion that to call a statement “spurious” did not impute dishonorable motives to the man who made . it.; The Conservatives have a good weapon in the defence controversy and they will sure­ ly use it a lot mote. Morale is bad in some places. Many people are seriously concerned that unification will mean the end of a lot of cherished tra­ ditions. In areas with strong military connections this con­ cern has been a vote-getter. What else can explain the Tory sweep of the two-seat Halifax ridirig at a time when Conser­ vative, strength was Waning in the Maritimes. Defence Minister Hellyer ar- . gues that if the Tories were really concerned about defence the time to make (the fuss was back in 1964 when the white paper was published ’outliiniing the integration policy. He says if they are still concerned they will have their chance to fight when he presents new legis­ lation to implement unification of defence forces. This Liberal government. has proven itself .remarkably dur­ able. If the oppoisltion can prove that Admiral, I.ancly- more’s testimony Was seriously altered ’ that durability might be shaken, If not then Mr. Hellyer will continue to sit along with Guy Favreau and LuCien Cardin who have sur-. vived similar Tory onslaughts. What has this done to Mr. Hellyer’s chances’‘to won the party leadership? Not likely very much, Mitchell Sharp’s emergence as the heir apparent would be a serious' challenge if Prime Minister Pearson plan­ ned to step down in the im­ mediate future. By the time Pearson is ready to relinquish the reins, however, the Gordbn- Shaip confrontation on econ­ omic nationalism will' be for­ gotten, military unification may be accomplfehed and Paul t-Iell- yer will stand out aS the man who cah make decisions and get things done.

The Bible Society Secretary, the Rev. Edward Cline, a Can­ adian, accompanies the official in charge of. the programs' and writes “I have an opportunity to explain to the crowd of sev­ eral hundred people, that the book is pant of the Bible, 'and briefly introduce 'the book. Later, as small groups are gathered around goslsiipling, I take the opportunity to open the Gospels and briefly explain the message.” The demand for Scriptures in Vietnam continues to increase. Distribution in the last quarter of 1965 totaled more than that of (the previous months of the year. Circulation for the first six months of 1966 shows con­ sistent increases. Despite all 'the difficulties, the colporteurs are continuing faithfully in their work.

The poem was in a booklet the subscriberf‘ receives regu- larly, the “Prophetic Expositor", and was originally taken from Covenant Message, a South African publication. The subscriber ends her comment with “I think you Will agree that the poem' as true.” Who IS Delinquent? We read in the papers, we hear on the air, Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere; We sigh and we say as we notice the trend - This young generation, whore will it end? But can we be sure that it’s their fault alone That maybe a part of it isn’t our own; Too much mbney to spend, too much idle time, Too many movies of passion and crime, Too many books hot fit to be read, Far too much evil in what they heat said; Too many children encouraged to roam By too many parents Who won’t stay at home. very Kids don’t make /the movies, they don’t Write the books That paint a gay picture of gangsters and crooks; They don’t make the liquor, they don’t run the bars; They don’t make the laws and they don’t buy the cars; They don’t make the drugs that addle the brain; It’s all done by older folk greedy fOT gain; And in how many eases we find that it’s true, The label “Delinquent” fits older folks too.
