Description:
Columbia, Mo. -- These Columbia high school students are typical of the thousands of teen-agers and elementary school youngsters who took part in trick or treat fun for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) on Halloween night. Largely church-sponsored, the project is an annual affair conducted to help the hungry and sick children abroad with hospital care and food. The movement started in 1950 by the Rev. Clyde Allison, pastor of the Bridesburg Presbyterian church in Philadelphia. Today, the interfaith project benefits millions of youngsters in all parts of the world.
