Tonnage levels have more than tripled in some of the new operations, a fact which justifies the change of operators, and, the new traffic is welcomed by the main line carriers. Project ReRail was developed in the 1977-81 period to look into ways of improving rail service in Midwestern Ontario and in other parts of the province. Recently we discussed the problem of railway abandonments which are growing in numbers each month with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications.

Dear Editor: 1986 marks the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). During the past four decades, UNICEF has established an international reputation for emergency relief and long-term develop- ment programs which have saved and im- proved the lives of millions of the world's most needy children. In the beginning, UNICEF's mandate was to assist m the re -settlement of 20 million Anstett Jewellers proudly presents ESTATE JEWELLERY SHOWCASE '86 children left homeless or orphaned in the aftermath of World War II. Once that task was completed, the organization moved on to develop prograrhs . to bring primary'. health care; improved nutrition, clean water and sanitation, and basic social ser- vices to millions more children in the developing countries of Asia, Africa, Latin ,w America and the Far East. In the 80's, UNICEF is leading a virtual revolution in child survival. Through a sim- ple, low-cost four-part health program which uses local volunteers and materials readily accessible world-wide, many, many children who might have died before the age of five years are now surviving. One of the most important aspects of this program is UNICEF's commitment to im- munize all the world's children by the year 1990. At present, five million children • ' around the world die each year from vaccine -preventable diseases including ': Measles, Polio, Tuberculosis, Tetanus Dip- theria, and Pertussis (Whooping Cough). ;' This tragic toll in young lives is indeed a strong motivation to help UNI C F reach ac thiss immunization goals by decade.
