TERRACE BAY NEWS Vol. 14 No. 42 . Serving the D istrict October 27, 1971 HA LLOWEEN CANVAS FOR U.N.I .C.E.F. Again this year the students of St. Martin's School will be out trick-or-treating to help other children in 112 countries around the world. The students wil | be conducting t he door-to-door Hal loween canvas in Terrace Bay on behalf of the United Nations | ternational Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF). This year marks the 25th anniversary of UNICEF's constant struggle to bridge the gap between the mis erable conditions which exist in the underdevelop- ed countries and the prosperity we enjoy here in Canada. 100 years ago, there was no gap: nearly everyone was poor. Education was just for the rich. Diseases were widespread. Life expectancy was about 30 years. Everywhere! Since then our Western Civilization has progressed quickly: machinery and mass production have brought welath; diseases have been controlled and often eradicated; education has become available to nearly everyone; starvation has been almost eliminated; life expectancy has now reached about 70 years .. here in the developed world! Meanwhile, in the developing countries of Asia, Africa and South America, it's much the same as 100 years ago. If anything, it's worse, since their populations still double every 30 years. The gap between rich and poor is widening. People in these developing countries know that misery is not inevit- able, but they are caught in a perpetual cycle of disease and poverty. How can they develop if their children can't learn = = or are too ill to work? They need our help to help themselves! - continued page 2 .......
