UNICEF Acts As Guardian For All Children In Need

In today’s world millions of children are still ill-fed, unschooled, threatened by diseases whose very names are unfamiliar in the industrially developed nations. Many have never known childhood s carefree

pleasures.

In the developing countries of Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, which house three out of four of all the world's children, life is hard on all, but particularly on the young. Whether they are growing up in the rapidly mushrooming cities or in the traditional villages, the children of the developing countries face an uncertain future weighed down by hunger, poverty, disease and lack of opportunity. The plight of both rural and urban children is of special concern not only to their governments, both local and national, but also to their unofficial guardian. UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund. In the cities, UNICEF, by providing equipment and training stipends, is assisting child welfare projects including youth centers, children’s homes, vocational schools and training courses for teachers and social workers. With this help children who had previously nothing to look forward to will have a chance to acquire training for a future of their own choosing. In the villages, mobile health teams equipped by UNICEF with vehicles and supplies can mean the difference between hope and despair. A penny’s worth of BCG vaccine supplied by UNICEF ensures protection from tuberculosis; a nickel buys enough penicillin to cure two children of yaws, a crippling tropical disease; a dime can mean 50 cups of milk, or a whole month’s supply of vitamin capsules for a mother and

her child.

Under UNICEF's auspices, nations are increasingly enabled to meet their children’s! needs; midwives and nurses are trained; war is waged on ancient scorges which still affect millions of people. UNICEF helps bring the results of research in high protein nutrition to ease the pangs of hungry children. Ignorance and harmful customs and superstitions give way to proper diet through UNICEF’s aid to nurition education. In all, UNICEF is helping children and mothers in over 100 countries around the world through its aid to more than 500 long-range programs. Of all the sources of contributions for this work—voluntary one and all—none is more admirable and stimulating than the annual • Trick or Treat for UNICEF program which began in 1950. Sponsored locally by Putnam County Council of Churches, on October 31, it will involve some 3.5 million American boys and girls in about 13,000 communities. Wearing makeup and tradition ally spooky or comical costumes, they will go from door to door on Hallowe’en in small groups escorted by an adult or a responsible teenager. They will ask for “treats’’ of pennies for children less fortunate than themselves, and their chant will ring with pride and the satisfaction of a constructive accomplishment. For many of the youngest among them, it will be the first humanitarian action of

their lives.

Much remains to be done, but UNICEF’s past accomplishments are encouraging. Through the years, some 130 million persons have been examined and/or treated for yaws. Over 11 million afflicted children have been treated for trachoma and related eye dis- ( Continued on Page ‘2 ) 20 Years Ago L. J. Clark was confined to his home in Mt. Meridian with a broken leg.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS Taken from the files of 1894: VINITA, Indian Territory — The Cherokee payment began yesterday. There were fully 15,000 people in town. Every Cherokee by blood gets $265. Gambling devices of every description are being brought into play to defraud the Indians. Three circuses are coining money and collectors are corralling the Indians by the hundreds.

WARSAW, Ind. — George Anglin, a farmer northwest of this city, was awakened by what he supposed were burglars in his front yard, and stepping to the window with a doubled - barreled shotgun heavily loaded with buckshot he fired twice. The shots took effect, killing two imported stallions, which he had recently purchased at $900 each.

BALTIMORE — In the criminal court here Mrs. Frederick Carter, a fine-looking German Woman, told how her corset steels had saved her life when attacked by a crazy man with a knife. Jacob Uhlensenheimer was on trial for assaulting Mrs. Carter with intent to kill. The prisoner occoupied a room in Mrs. Carter’s house. On the night of the assault he went cut for some beer to take to his room, and when he returned Mrs. Carter was in the hall. Uhlensenheimer had a long knife up the sleeve of his coat and pulled it out and made a lunge at Mrs. Carter, who had her back to him. The point of the knife struck a corset steel and the weapon was bent nearly double and no injury was inflicted.

A bold, bad hobo giving his residence as the “Gulf of Mexico’’ drew a knife on Charles Meikel on Monday evening and wanted his gore. His act was caused by Mr. Meikel’s refusal to give him a free lunch. Policeman Donohue gathered the fellow in and placed him in the bastile. He carried two sharp shoe knives in his inside pockets.

Marion Township has been overrun with black snakes this season and some as long as seven feet are reported, with the assurance that they would fight. The champion story from that section arrived this morning. It is to the effect that Mrs. Joe Woods, living in that township, was in her yard and was attracted to the house by the crying of her baby. Entering the room where the child was she was horrified to find a huge black snake coiled about the child’s neck and over its body. With rare presence of mind the mother took her apron, and seizing the snake by the head, took it out into the yard and killed it. It measured seven feet, the regulation length for Marion Township. The BANNER TIMES gives the story as it hears it.

Ellis Sentenced Larry Ellis, 22, was sentenced Friday to serve 1-5 years in the Indiana State Reformatory at Pendleton by Judge Francis N. Hamilton in the Putnam Circuit Court. Ellis had previously entered a plea of guilty to issuing a fraudulent check. Action Friday by Judge Hamilton followed a pre-sentence investigation. Board Approves Off-St. Parking The inital step for Off-street Parking was taken last night by the Board of Works of the City of Greencastle. The Board, whose members are Mayor Ray Fisher. City Attorney Rexell Boyd and Councilman Robert Eppelheimer, voted approval of a plan to relieve the parking congestion in downtown Greencastle. The proposal will come before the City Council Monday night and its approval is needed before steps can be taken to proceed further. At the request of the City Council, the Greencastle Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey to determine the need for proper location of off-street parking, and presented recommendations concerning the location. size, character and cost of acquiring and developing such facilities. The survey definitely pointed up the need for additional parking as the present metered areas can accommodate only 376 cars, whereas a shopping area the size of Greencastle could use 960 spaces. The survey pointed to the need of off-street parking off the northwest comer of the square, south from the Banner office, and across from the Postoffice .The latter location was recommended for initial attention. The financing of the acquisition and development is to be through issuing revenue bonds to be paid solely from parking meter funds. One parking lot is to be developed at a time until all are accomplislied. It is recognized that even one lot will provide relief for the congestion on the square. This program, coupled with the new on-street parking ordinance, will make a big improvement in the more critical of Greencastle’s problems. Rockville Man Dies Suddenly Hervey M.

UNICEF “Trick or treat for UNICEF,” says Judy Cook. UNICEF devotes its attention exclusively to the welfare of children and mothers around the world. Last year Putnam County gave over $200 to this project. Young people and children interested in doing a worthwhile project for an important Hallowe’en treat may pick up the official containers and fliers from Rev. Claude McClure, at Gobin Methodist Church. “UNICEF” wil get under way Monday and the money given will mean better health to millions of children and mothers in more than 100 countries and territories through programs of disease control, nutrition, social services and material and child welfare.

Students Hold Conventions At Bainbridge H. S.

NATIONALISTS MEET AT BAINBRIDGE CONVENTION Shown here are the delegates of the Nationalist Party at the convention at Bainbridge School. Grades 6 through 12 participated in these elections. Photos by Ken Nix

The Bambndge School is having an election of its own. Bill Hanson, Social Studies Instructor has organized and worked with the student body to hold an election on the same basis that our national election is being held this year. To start off the proceedings the school invited Democratic candidate for Congress Karl O'Lessker, Republican candidate for Joint Representative, Putnam. Parke, Owen counties, Charles Edwards. and Putnam County Clerk. Jack Hinkle, to explain the election procedures. The Senior Government Class were the instructors using a six-member committee to organize and explain to each class the procedures. Each class was a state and each state nominated a candidate from each party for the office of Governor, Lt. Governor, Sec. of State, 2 Senators and Representatives according to class population. One representative per 10 students. The convention was held in the gym, with the students having the afternoon off to elect a party President and Vice-President candidate. The first to have their convention were the Federalist Party. The convention was called to order by Jerry Shuck, national chairman. Diana Nichols, the keynote speaker, gave a rousing speech stressing the "establishment of a good backbone of candidates and platform of the party.” The platform was then adopted. Nomination and election of the candidates came next. The delegates from each class as a state had • hard time making up their minds, but on the second ballot, elected Rick Parent as the presidential candidate and Linda Coffman as the vice presidential candidate. On Wednesday, the Nationalists had their chance to take the convention floor. The keynote address was given by Tom Reynolds, with Treva Raymond elected National Chairman. After several caucuses and much enthusiastic debate the Nationalist came up with Jim Albin presidential candidate and Richard Evans, vice-presi-dential candidate. The officials of the school feel that much will be gained by holding this election and hope to influence many parents to get out on election day and vote. Geneticist Is Chapel Speaker Man's ability to produce synthetic genes and therefore “tamper with his hereditary destiny” was predicted yesterday by Dr. Hans W. Kloepfer in remarks at DePauw University. Kloepfer, Tulane University geneticist, said man's ability literally to alter and produce genes would have even greater ramilifications than his present ability to trigger nuclear havoc and human annihilation. With a discovery of such magnitude, Kloepfer predicted that societies or governments could produce supermen, monsters or masses of people whose IQ's would be a very normal 200. And, like the application of atomic energy, Kloepfer emphasized such knowledge could be used positively or negative-

ly-

One of the ironies of the day, said Kloepfer. is that man some day will be thankful for cancer’s contribution to knowledge. He said the great race to discover the cause of cancer has resulted in almost exclusive devotion of money and attention to this by biochemists trying to unravel the mystery. In their search, he suggested, these biochemists may learn how to synthesize genes thus discovering the key to the control of heredity.

The “Nationalist Party” of Bainbridge High School held their convention Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of electing their candidates for President and Vice President Before the convention convened the “Federalist” Party held a “sit in" outside the delegation floor, shouting “we want freedom.” Of course, this was added to make the convention more fun as well as realistic. The convention was opened with the National Anthem being sung by the entire student body and followed by a few moments of silent meditation. The principal. Mr. Steele, gave the welcoming speech and briefly explained that the main purpose of the convention was for the students to gain a better understanding of how the government's political campaigning is run. The keynote speaker, Tom Reynolds of the Junior state delegation. talked on how America is threatened by communism and what we must do to prevent it. His speech was very inspiring and stirred the atmosphere of the convention. Treva Raymann was then voted Nationalist chairman and took charge of the program from temporary chairman Rose Ada Cooper. Treva called for reports from the committees. Sophomore State's seats were contested by two groups but it was soon straightened out and the convehtion went on. The Nationalist Platform was read and the delegation enthusiastically adopted it. Excitement grew when nominations for president was opened. The Senior State nominated Jim Albin and Dick Evans. Jim Albin won on the second ballot and Dick Evans was chosen by the delegation as his running mate. Jim Albin assured the delegation that li* and his running mate would give their best efforts to win the election for the Nationalist Party in November. The convention closed with the delegation cheering the candidates toward victory. U.N. Observes 19th Birthday UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. UPI—The United Nations today observed its 19th anniversary with a series of celebrations and the thanks of the Congo for its peace-making operations. The U. N. charter was ratified by the Big Five powers and a majority of the 51 founding members on Oct. 24, 1945.
