The refrain "Sweet Sum- mer's Gone Away" comes to mind in this autumn month. The water is low in the pond, no fisherman is in sight, the swimmers have disappeared, the boats are gone.

It is the one time of the year when it is most dangerous for children. When the goblins are out this year so are hundreds of thousands of Canadian children of all ages. Although all are cautioned to be very careful of cars and crossing streets, words of caution are easily forgotten in the excitement of "trick or treat". A good suggestion that not ' only brightens costumes but, more important, helps motorists see darting children more easily, is the application of light re- flecting paint or reflective tape, These can be made into stars, moons and other designs to de- corate costumes or even strips can be applied to "trick or treat' bags making them easily visible to the drivers. The "Faceless" Children In today's world millions of chi dren are ill -fed, poorly clo hed 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 golden keys to the future. UNICEF is one of these golden keys. Established under United Nations, it is an international effort to give every child free- dom from disease and hunger, an education and opportunity to earn a living. UNICEF, participated in by more than a hundred countries, is not a charity but a co-opera- tive effort to improve the lot of the World's Children. Interest- ed governments must first re- quest UNICEF assistance, For each UNICEF dollar from the International UNICEF Fund these governments spent $2.50 for local buildings, personnel, domestic food and facilities. UNICEF assistance is given on the basis of need regardless of political beliefs, race or creed. On one night in the year (Hallowe'en) gaily dressed Canadian youngsters come knocking at doors. They will feel happier if you place in their UNICEF collection boxes pennies for their "faceless" friends. Waiter: "I would like the dish that gentleman over there is eating."
