Background: THE UNITED STATES COMMITTEE OF UNICEF (U.N.I.C.E.F.). THE UNITED NATIONS CHILDREN'S FUND, AWARDED PRIZES TODAY IN ITS ANNUAL CHRISTMAS DOLL CONTEST.

THIS IS THE EIGHT YEAR IN WHICH THE COMPETITION HAS BEEN RUN IN BEHALF OF THE POSTER PARENTS PLAN BY SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE. THE IDEA IS THAT TEEN-AGE AMERICAN GIRLS CREATE DOLLS AS CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR UNDER PRIVILEGED CHILDREN IN EUROPE, THE MIDDLE EAST AND KOREA.

MANY OF THE DOLLS EXPRESS ASPECTS OF AMERICAN LIFE OR CHARACTERS FAMOUS IN AMERICAN HISTORY OR FIGURES OUT OF STORY BOOKS.

PRESENTATION TO THE WINNERS WAS MADE BY MISS MARIAN ANDERSON U.S. ALTERNATE REPRESENTATIVE TO THE PRESENT GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

ALL THE DOLLS, WINNERS AND ALSO-BANS, GO INTO THE UNICEF PLAN IN THE HOPE OF ENRICHING THE CHRISTMAS OF MANY CHILDREN OVER-SEAS.
