TheJRollins Sandspur JLI Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida, February 9, 1956 No. 14 Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is shown standing on the stage of the Annie Russell Theater Tuesday when she gave her talk on the U.N. Roosevelt Outlines U. N. Aims Before Packed ART Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt spoke to a packed all college assembly at the Annie Russell Theatre on Tuesday, Feb. 7. After being introduced by Pres. McKean, Mrs. Roosevelt explained that she was here through the auspices of the American Association for United Nations. The subject of her speech was "The Aims of the United Nations". Mrs. Roosevelt chose to explain the function of the specialized agencies of the U.N. because they are less well known to the general public. The first agency Mrs. Roosevelt spoke upon was the Children's Fund, under the direction of the Sec. General. She explained that the funds of this agency are supplied by voluntary contributions of the member nations and are used to aid children in need all over the world. "Another agency which has accomplished remarkable results with two major crusades is the World Health Organization." These two fields of effort are the annihilation of malaria and tuberculosis. "The agency expects the complete absence of malaria in India (where it Was most prevalent) if a third world war does not occur within the next year." A third and most important branch of the U.N. outlined by Mrs. Roosevelt was the Food and Agriculture Agency. She explained that this organization provided information and farm utensils to agricultural communities with undeveloped potentials. Particularly in India, UNESCO has made great strides in elementary education. "The great majority of the people of India barely exist," she said. "The children in Indian elementary schools sit on hard, dirt floors and consider a black board and two pieces of chalk supplied by UNESCO a luxury," she said. "The day of isolation is past. Every day of peace brings you faster and faster toward the possibility of careers in other areas of the world." In concluding her speech, Mrs. Roosevelt said, "We must appeal to the young people to study the U.N. so that they may be prepared to work efficiently for their country in other parts of the world."
