UN Agency Fights
Worldwide Disease
By MARNIE SCHENCK
An agency of the United Nations which helps disease-riddled
mothers and children of 65 nations was discussed by Mrs. Helen
Webb, instructor of physics, at the Faculty Luncheon Club yester
day at the State College Hotel. , . . ,' ~
The agency is the United. Nations International Children s Eiiier
gency Fund. It was created around 1948 as an emergency measure
to combat the diseases which tend
to make children unfit for adult
life, but was made a permanent
agency last year, Mrs.. Webb said.
UNICEF works very closely
with the World Health Organiza
tion and other UN assistance
groups, Mrs. Webb pointed out.
UNICEF provides the funds, and
the technical assistance groups
provide the technical know-how.
UNICEF functions on such a basis
that the country receiving help
must contribute one -dollar for
every dollar given it.
One of the diseases which the
UNICEF is fighting is malaria.
According to Mrs. Webb, the
agency expects to fight the dis
ease in 28 countries and cut it
down this year by 98 per cent.
in the United 'States, she
pointed out, tuberculosis. has
been cut to about 100,000- new
cases a year. There are nations,
she said, where it is not un
common to have 100,000- new
cases per month. With a very
inexpensive . serum many of
these cases can be prevented,
she said.
One 15 cent shot of penicillin
cures a tropical disease of yaws.
This .disea.se eats away the skin
and disfigures all it attacks. One
and one quarter million people
will be treated this year by UNI
CEF for yaws, she said. .
Among UNICEF’s biggest pro
jects is combating the malnutri
tion which two-thirds of the chil
dren in the world suffer from.
The agency combats-it with a long
range feeding program of which
dry milk is an important part,
Mrs. Webb said.
A UNICEF fund for dry milk
has been started in the United
Stales and extended into our
territories ■ and Canada. This
fund drive is made by children
carrying a carton for contribu
tions when they make their
Halloween "trick or treat" raid.
Mrs. Webb announced to the
faculty that the Halloween Trick
or Treat Fund will be conducted
for its third year in State College
on Oct. 28. She urged them to
promote the project among their
children.
Other contributions are made to
UNICEF from national govern
ments and large private doners.
This year the United States gov
ernment will contribute $9.5 mil
lion, $4 million less than the
amount requested.
The help which UNICEF gives

is of a permanent nature, Mrs.
Webb pointed out. Chiefly, it
helps the nations which ask for
help to develop long range pro
grams and to set up laboratories
for manufacture of serums and
plants to dry milk. . > ' .
'Hofcad' Editor
Ousted, Staff
Holds Walkout
For the first time in 72 years,
Westminster College may be
without a campus newspaper. The
situation stemmed from the re
cent firing of the Holcad editor
and. ..the subsequent walkout of
the entire staff.
Arguments over increasing cen
sorship efforts boiled over last
week, when Marilyn Strub, editor
of thh campus paper, received a
note from faculty advisor Charles
Cook 5 notifying her of the dismis-
Sell*
Immediately following the dis
missal, .'the.-- entire Holcad staff
executed .a mass walkout in sup
port of their editor.
Miss Strub said she was ousted
because .of. “unwillingnes to co
operate’-with the administration.”
Her /only. “unwillingness,” Miss
Strub said, was her refusal to ac
cept “increasing efforts to censor
the paper.”
Dr. William Orr, president of
Westminster College, denied
knowledge of. Miss Strub’s ouster,
and stated that .‘Westminster
publications never have been cen
sured-' under my administration.
Management Society
A . meeting of the Society for
the Advancement of Management
will be held Thursday at the Ho
tel Logan, Dußois, Pa. C. Warner
Me Vicar, director of purchasing
and traffic for the Rockwell Mfg.
Co., will speak on the value of a
purchasing manual.
