The boy or girl must be 15, 16, 17, years of age, with one or two years in high school after the completion of the Pilgrimage. The real reason for sending these youths is not to give them a g good time or a trip. Their first business is with the United Nations. In the striking U.N. building with its 39 stories of glass and steel, the young people received briefings by various members of the U.N. staff. They learned of the organization and the functioning of the U.N. and its many branches. They found out the way in which many areas of the world are serviced by technical assistance and departments such as, WHO (World Health Organization), and ICEF (International Childrens Emergency Fund), and UNESCO (United Nations Educational Social and Cultural Organization). They watched representatives of the various nations as they met in bodies, such as the Trustee Council. They had the thrill of seeing the business of the U.N. carried on, and through headphones listened to the proceedings translated from the five official languages, Spanish, French, Russian, Chinese and English. They also learned how their home communities are related to the affairs of the world by briefing at the United States Mission to the United Nations by United States Ambassador Warren Austin, whom they met personnaly. Many other interesting things could be told about this splendid project for our young people, but at a later date they may be presented to the public. We hope to have another and even more successful Pilgrimage in 1953. In 1952 six youths were sent from Utah, at an approximate cost of $1800, every cent of which was donated to give our young people a better chance to become valuable members of our Democracy. Is anyone in this district interested in this fine project? We sincerely hope so. I would like to add that if any organization, church or .school would be interested in hearing first hand from either Rita or Larry they stand willing, and able, to talk to you. Marie G. Stuart United Nations Pilgrimage Chairman of Utah Sandy, Utah (Contributed) Rita Setterberg and Larry Ray are home again. ; . .. i This may mean nohing to you, but it means a great deal to these two, and will continue to mean more as they finish high school and take their place in the adult world. For Rita and Larry are Jordan high students who completed what is known as the "United Nation's Pilgrimage of Youth". They, with three others, a boy and two girls, made the trip with others from California, Nevada and Ariand zona. There was a qualified chaperone or youth leader for every ten members of the group, so they were well supervised Their expences, about $300 per member, was paid by the and Rebekahs of their respective states. Larry was taken care of by Queen of the West Lodge No. 22 of Midvale. who through many money raising events and popular subscriptions of local business houses and organizations raised the necessary amount. Rita was the winner of an essay contest that awarded her this opportunity. They were gone from June 8 to June 27, and as both say, they were so royally entertained and saw so much that they came back completely worn out. But it was a great experience. This article is not written to advertise the organization, but to remind the young people of this community that one of them may be awarded this great opportunity. An essay contest on "Why I Should Like to See the United Nations in Action", "What the United Nations Means to Me", "My Community's Share in the World Affairs", is being sponsored by what is known as the Pilgrimage Youth Committee. The qualifications of contestants who may go, are as follows: 1. Good character. 2. Sound health. 3. Scholarship above average-- not necessarily tops. 4. participation in community and civic life. 5. Interest in world affairs. 6. Accepting the obligation of bringing reports and making talks to the home community and lodges.
