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.
