Trick or Treat
WiH Aid UNICEF
“The Trick is to Treat the Needy
Children of the World,” is the
slogan of UNICEF, (which is the
United Nations International
Children’s Emergency Fund) for
this Halloween. Local organiza
tions and churches are co-operat
ing in the drive to secure funds
for this needy cause.
Sponsoring groups are Church
of God, the Kodiak Christian
Center, Community Baptist
Church; and the On-Base P.T.A.
on the Naval Station.
“When your doorbell rings on
Halloween, watch for the “Ghost”
or “Goblin” with the UNICEF
milk carton bank, and help
UNICEF ward off the ghosts of
hunger, disease and suffering,”
say the sponsors.
Children and young people in
Kodiak will meet either at the
Assembly of God church on
Mission Road near Spruce street
or at the Community Baptist
Church on Mill Bay Road between
6 and 6:30 p.m. on Halloween
night, where UNICEF coin car
tons will be distributed and they
will be assigned their territory
for collecting. A party will be held
at these two collection centers for
children who are not going to the
high school carnival at 7:30 p.m.
This kind of Halloween trick
or treating was started in one
community in 1950. In 1953 all
48 states, the District of Columbia,
Canada, Hawaii and the Canal
Zone participated, and $99,000 was
collected. In 1957 Alaska began
to take part and last year, Kodiak
participated when the Women’s
Missionary Society of the Com
munity Baptist Church with Mrs.
Ellen Dawson as chairman, pro
moted the idea with around 40
boys and girls collecting. $130 was
sent to UNICEF.
There will be posters display
ed, box holder publicity, announce
ments in the churches and over the
radio and TV.
UNICEF is operated by a non
profit committee Which works
through the United Nations organ
ization, dispensing aid to mothers
and children through 14,000 aid
stations. For as little as 15 cents.
UNICEF can supply enough peni
cillin to cure a child of yaws, a
crippling tropical disease. Fifty
cents will protect six persons
against malaria for a year, and a
dollar will provide enough powder
ed milk to give nine children a
glass a day for a week.
