Our president, and all three ILving-ex-presi-dents, have highly praised this program, which has received criticism from the Fort Wayne News Sentinel and other similar sources each year. We have, in the world today, a highly sophisticated technology and great scientific progress — side by side with millions of starving, underprivileged children. “At a time when UNICEF’S endeavors encompass more than 500 programs for children and mothers' in 116 countries, much remains to be done,” President Kennedy concluded in his message. “1 urge all Americans to respond once again in a spirit, of charity and good will’to UNICEF’S appeal this fall.” In a message dated October 9, Harry S. Truman noted that “I have always had a special interest in'the work and program of the United Nations Children’s Fund, and have followed with satisfaction the humanitarian services performed by them in many countries the world over.” Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower's statement expressed his congratulations to the members of the U.S. committee for UNICEF for their unceasing efforts to alleviate hunger and disease among all the world’s children. In their program which enlists the support of many generous citizens they contribute much to the lives of millions in need. Herbert Hoover, who achieved fame in his relief work following World War I, stated, “It is my conviction that UNICEF is ably and honestly conducted. Its director is a former .associate of mine. To me it is the major beneficial service of the United Nations. The fact that four men elected president of the United States over the past four decades earnestly back this program, along with 14 local churches and hundreds of volunteer children, indicate its scope and importance. Helping others is important — jt helps us all when we give generously of our surplus to help others less fortunate. Children the world over have had no part in making the mess of things that now exists in the world. Healthy, educated boys and girls, with a chance to live fruitful lives, are not likely candidates for radical, bloody programs. But starving, homeless people are always candidates for violence. Let’s help others, as we would wish to be helped, had we been born in the underprivileged^parts of the world. And let’s give thanks to Clod that our lives in the weeks to come will not depend on the charity of more fortunate neighbors, as do those in two-thirds of the world. ■ .

now iney re uoing In Lightest Mexico

MEXICO CITY - There is an extremely dedicated nurse at the General hospital here and according to my information she is a lady way over a hundred years old and also a spook. And just about every night, when you are lying around your hospital bed waiting for the cure, this ghost nurse comes floating quietly down the corridor to stab you with a needle full of whatever is necessary. The patients say she has no head, no arms and no legs but otherwise she is normal and wears a freshly starched white uniform. And many of the ones she has treated will take an oath that one application of this needle, which is the size of a bicycle pump, is a positive cure. So we asked a couple of fellows what this ghost nurse says when she enters the room. And one of them answered, "Who waits to start conversation with a ghost?" The other man said he didn’t exactly know because he sort of fainted but when he regained consciousness there was a terribly sore spot on the back of his lap and he was a healed man. This makes things considerably easier on nurses who are inclined toward the midnight siesta because The Starched One simply checks the charts and goes around needling people whej-e it is necessary. The medical staff is not upset by their phantom. They say this lady spook is polite and minds her business, which consists of helping with bad cases or curing a variety of rare disease here and there. There is, for instance, the case of Senora Esperanza Ratia de Nava who is a confirmed believer because the ghost lady intervened with a few CC’s of something and cured her of extantematic typhoid. Whatever that is. And I got some pretty reliable information about one gentleman suffering from paralysis whoj'recovered the instant the phantom appeared through the wall of his room with her needle. He went out of the window and over the fence in his nightshirt at 4 a.m. and this motorcycle cop in the street said he ducked behind a bus because he thought somebody fired a cannon at him. Outside of minor cardiac conditions she brings on patients who Many Schools Reduce Classes Due To Drought By United Press International A crop-crippling, fire-sparking drought across the East forced schools to curtail classes today and threatened many communities with water shortages. Turbulent weather raged around area. Hurricane Ginny fumed off the Carolina coast and a Pacific storm spewed 74 mile an bour winds and more than an inch of rain at the Northwest. A tornado struck in Minnesota Monday and scattered light showers drifted across the Midwest. Here is how the drought situ-' ation shaped up; , Nearly 2,000 students started half-day classes today in Tussey Mountain schools near Saxton. Pa., in an effort by city authorities to conserve water. All schools pafeterias were ordered shut down. A bottling firm and a laundromat agreed to close down two days a week in Saxton because of dwindling water supplies. Youngsters at Bakerton. Pareturned to class today for the first time in a week, but were asked to carry boiled water until new wells are tested for purity, The West Virginia state health director ordered the town of Harper’s Ferry to post signs that its water supply is potentially unsafe. The city’s well supply is low and water is being pumped from a nearby crock. The drought has sent West Virginia’s crop losses for the year soaring to more than $76 million. In Illinois, state sanitary engineers worked today with city authorities at Macomb, Beecher City and Albion in an effort to meet problems arising from drought-caused water deficiencies. Fires continued to flare across the. kindling dry forests and fields of the Midwest and East. Forty new fires broke out in West Virginia Monday and 41 of the state's 152 current blazes were still persons were attested for misdemeanor in refusing to fight forest and brush fires.

can’t adjust to ghosts entering their rooms, the defunct nurse is considered competent and very helpful. She never complains about anything and she doesn’t come around to collect any wages and she always answers the buzzers promptly. But just to make sure, I cornered a nightwatchman and asked him what about it? And he said why sure, he had seen her dozens of times on the way out of the hospital grounds in the almost dawn hours. Didn’t know exactly how she got in because she just seemed to be there but she always left, probably to go home and get a little sleep. He could never get a really good look at her though because the instant he put his flashlight on she just disappeared. She doesn’t care for lights when she is floating across the grounds after a hard night s work. Well, you know me. I had* to ask him how come he was so sure she was a ghost? And he gave me a look that would fry eggs and said, “Has to be. She's been dead since nineteen ought six.” All right now, any questions from out there?

Portland Man Killed By Carbon Monoxide PORTLAND, Ind. (UPD—Wilbur Haviland, 62, superintendent of the Portland city sewage treatment plant, was killed by carbon monoxide fumes Monday night while working deep inside a sewer lift shaft. Haviland’s body was found partly submerged in water in the 20-foot shaft used to lift sewage and divert it to the treatment plant. Associates said Haviland had been working in the shaft and apparently was overcome by fumes from a small gasoline

motor he was using. The shaft is loeated on the city's south side at the edge of the Salamonie River. Haviland’s body was found after Chester Evans, 55, a sewage plant employe, became concerned because Haviland failed to pick him up at his home in accordance with earlier arrangements. Evans went to the plant and shouted down the shaft but nobody answered. Then he called police. Portland Fireman Francis Harris and Deputy State Fire Marshal John Barrett donned gas masks and went into the shaft and found the body partly submerged in six feet of water.
