Title: Trick or Treat.
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.

Title: Walks around the world for children.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-46111 WALKS AROUND THE WORLD FOR CHILDREN JANESVILLE, Minn. -- Dave Kunst (right), the man who spent four years in a walk around the world and returned home as a subject of controversy, walks through Janesville, Minn., with some friends as he nears his hometown of Waseca, where he began his trek in 1970. Although he had acquired an “anti-hero” image by some comments he made in an interview he gave to a reporter for the Minneapolis Tribune on his way back, Mr. Kunst was besieged by autograph-seekers as he re-entered Waseca. Mr. Kunst, 35, undertook his walk with the purpose of raising funds for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). In 1970, he set out with his brother, John, who was later killed by bandits in Afghanistan. He returned briefly in 1973 and then set out again to complete the 15,000-mile walk. The controversy arose when he commented in the interview that he thought marriage was “a bad idea," and said he had asked for a divorce from his wife, Jan. The Roman Catholic layman was also criticized for saying that he didn't want a church to tell him how to act or what to believe, and that he had "no idea there were so many dumb foreigners in the world.” Credit Must Read: Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (B-MIN-10B-74-DS)
