world by donating $600 to Child Aid's current campaign to assist youngsters in Somalia and the former Yugoslavian states.

The pupils, who range in age from 8-11, raised the money by selling some of their own toys at their annual sale which was held at their school hall last Friday.

The students chose to give the money to Child Aid themselves, with the guidance of head teacher Mr. John Coakley.

Child Aid is hoping that every man, woman and child in the Island will contribute at least one dollar to "help relieve the suffering and starvation'' of Somalian and Yugoslavian children. Donations can be made to the Child Aid account at any of the three banks.

A minute of silence to acknowledge the plight of these children of war will take place at 1.00 p.m. sharp on December 9 on the steps of Hamilton City Hall.
