All of the Indians had been

arm outstretched. Slattery said
they must have been following

feet below the surface of the

Trick or Treat
Night Is Set
For October 81

Rockville has proclaimed
October 81, Halloween, as
trick or treat" night in the
city.
At the same time. city schools
and churches have been encour-
aged by the Rockville Junior
Woman's Club to combine trick
or treat night with a drive to
collect money for UNICEF,
United Nations organization
dedicated to the welfare of the
worlds needy children.
One penny, for instance, will
provide enough vaccine to inn.
mnnize a yOungster from tuber.
culOsis; five cents will buy suf.
ficient penicillin to stem the
dreaded disease of yaws, so
common in tropical countries;
and a dime will buy so glasses
of milk.
The custom of combining
UN1CEF drives with trick or
treat was started in 1850, at one
school. Now, $500 communities
participate.
The Rockville Ministerial Ali
ance of Clerygmen will provide
information and materials
needed to push the door-to-d door
drive. The Rev. John w. Laney,
minister of the Twinbrook Bap-
fist Church, is to coordinate the
program for the Alliance.
