UNITED NATIONS DAY
THE UNITED NATIONS CELEBRATES its third birthday on Sunday, October 24. U.N.'s name has been before the people of the world more and more often in the three years since the Charter of the 58-country organisation came into force. Bul, more important, U.N.'s work is now an everyday fact to people everywhere, who this year will help their U.N. observe its nnniversary by celebrating United Nations Day on October 24.
On this United Nations Day, some people, like the homeless in the displaced persons camps in Europe and the hungry children who are given food sent by U.N., are absolutely dependent on the work of U.N. and its specialised agencies. Other millions benefit from the quiet and steady U.N. work dealing with the economic and social factors which shape societies. This work may show up when idle factory wheels turn again as the result of planning by the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe. It may come out when death-dealing narcotics, under ÚN. international control, are seized from a smuggler In a port. It crops out in the support ordinary people through- out the world have given to the United Nations. Appeal for Children in Its campaign for funds to save the life of a generation. And, in a hundred other ways, non-political and political allke, U.N. Is now working for, and with the help of, the peoples of the world, who set up the organisation three years ago.
