Like "I meant to get some change but ..." Or "Sure I care about kids but ..." Those little spooks and goblins, with their orange and black UNICEF boxes, are going to be feeling a little scared but very proud when they arrive at your door. They know that only 7c collected in their box buys antibiotic ointment to save a child from blindness. Or 30c buys enough Vitamin. A and d to Supplement the diet of an Under- nourished child for 4' months. It's a small amount to us but through the magic of • UNICEF' those amounts can mean the difference between life and death to a small child somewhere in this world: So at Hallowe'en, when your doorbell rings and the young voices ,call 'Trick or Treat for UNICEF", please don't. eV( them any "Witt'', Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Clinton, spoke on.
