It is not a give away program but always UNICEF helps a country help itself. The assisted countries on the average have added $2 to every one received from UNICEF. This is the kind of team-work that Americans be lieve in.

" - Mrs. Nixon feels that she and her husband personify an "American dream" that people of humble" circum stances can become president. Mrs. Nixon has much go ing for her in politics. She's tall, very slender, has a mod el's type of face with wide- set brown eyes, high cheek bones, and strawberry blonde hair. Her clothes never are sporty and always are in sim ple good taste. She is a hat and glove girl. Her jewelry usually is limited to pearls. She rarely wears black, She now owns a mink wrap, but her famous "cloth coat" of the 1952 campaign still hangs in her closet, Mrs. Nixon has the poise of a "pro" in public, Likes People ; "I like people- and I love campaigning," the attractive Pat Nixon has said on numer ous occasions. Forthe last seven years she has been available at count less luncheons, receptions and teas where a woman repre senting the White House cir cle is in demand. She also has been compan ion to her husband on his world travels.. She has cud dled Japanese babies and handed Russian youngsters lollipops. Mrs. Nixon still often looks tense and cautious, but she has relaxed considerably in recent months. Once, her trademark was a fixed friend ly smile. She still wears the smile, but now she has learn ed to include a friendly word or two, Until recently, she side stepped speech-making and political talk on the grounds that "only one person can speak for the family." But now, Pat Nixon is making speeches, brief and non-controversial. She speaks of her husband's "experience" and his "hum ble beginnings." - ' 1 Shrewd Woman Outwardly, Pat Nixon makes no mistakes and no re marks that would antagonize.

Christened Thelma Ryan, her father nick named her "Pat." Her mother died when she was 12 years old and for five years she kept house for her father and brother. The Nixon's two daughters 'Tricia,' 14 and Julie 12, had been protected from the po litical limelight until the GOP . national convention, when they suddenly became TV personalities. The GOP's promotional bro chures boast of Pat Nixon's domesticity and has played up Mrs. Nixon's own state ment: "Dick claims no one but me fixes soft scrambled eggs the way he likes them." The Nixons have a cook and a houseman to run their household in fashion able Spring Valley on the edge of Washington. Their ivy-covered stone home of French architecture has become a mecca for sightseers.

The Bible from Gen. 3:15, to Christ has to do directly or In directly with God preparing man to the DOint, where he can com' prehend, and receive a Savior. The works of the law .to this end are preparatory, and tem porary. Paul tells us in Gal. 3:24, 25, "So that the law is become our tutor to bring us to Christ that we might be justi fied. by faith but now that faith is come, we are not under a tutor." J In this preparation from the beginning God has asked man to take part in a blood sacrifice. Gen. 4:3-5. The scriptures does not say that God told Cain and Abel what kind of sacrifice to offer, but God has never re quired of man that he has not first' explained. It is the habit of man to offer God a substitute as did Cain and suffer.
