PAGE TWO THE PIE A 0 N I T 0 R SEPTEMBER, 1966 rHEPiEomonim Piedmont Aviation, Inc. Smith Reynolds Airport Winston-Salem, N. C. Betsy Winstead, Editor Opportunity For United Way With the poverty program swinging into its second year, and the nation-wide United Appeal campaigns warming up for the annual once-a-year fund-rasing drive, certain questions come to mind; Is the Government moving in on private wel fare? Will it eventually take over the work of voluntary wel fare services? This is what the Administration has to say on the subject: “If I thought the anti-poverty program was going to do away with private philanthropic work I would lead the fight against the program,” says Vice President Hubert Humphrey. “Our job is to supplement, not supplant. The private agency can do a tremendous job, much more than a public agency in many instances, because it is more personal. It can take more time. It has more flexibility.” But is there, in fact, a duplication of effort between the two programs? Definitely not, according to Sargent Shriver, director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. “It would be a great tragedy,” says Mr. Shriver, “if the Economic Opportunity program were interpreted by anybody as a substitute for local initiative by volunteer citizens or as a reason not to continue support of voluntary services through United Fund drives. Any reduction of effort in these areas would be unthinkable. “We realize that United Fund agencies operate in the general areas of prevention and rehabilitation, not only with the underprivileged families as identified in the government’s anti-poverty program. The statute specifically prohibits use of these new Federal funds to replace any existing financial re sources. “The programs under the Economic Opportimity Act are aimed primarily at the changing social patterns that have perpetuated poverty among certain groups of our society. It is set up to provide education and training, or retraining for these groups, to help move families out of poverty. Thus the poverty program is chiefly concerned with increasing job op portunities for the poor.” Vice President Humphrey adds; “I have always believed that the purpose of Government was not to establish a wel fare state. We are advocating a state of opportunity in America where we try, through private and public resources, to help people equip themselves to make a good living.” Indeed, the history and the strength of the United States is firmly rooted in the initiative of private enterprise, in in dividual imagination and creative effort. The American way of life would no longer be American if the people were compelled to forfeit the democratic privi leges which have made this the greatest country in the world. Those privileges include the right to avail ourselves of the wealth of opportunity this country affords—and the will, the hearts, and the freedom to help our fellow man—the United Way. President Davis received the following letter from North Carolina’s Governor Dan K. Moore shortly after the strike ended in August. STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA Governor’s Office Raleigh August 5, 1966 Mr. Thomas H. Davis, President Piedmont Aviation, Incorporated Winston-Salem, North Carolina Dear Tom: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the officers, and personnel of Piedmont Airlines for the extra effort you have made to provide this State and area with continued air travel during the period when some of our airlines are on strike.

VFR with Turby August 24th was my thirty-seventh wedding anniversary, be lieve it or not. I am married to a very fine gal named Helen — she’s got to be fine to put up with a guy like me that long. There are two things I can’t remember — when I was single and when I didn’t work for an airline. Ken Ross asked me what we did on this occasion. I told him this time I sat on the edge of the bed and cried! The four Division Supervisors and Ed Best, Supt. of Stations, are attending Boeing 727 School at Seattle, Washington this week.^k They should have all the answers when they return. Recently, Mr. Davis had a Service Pin Luncheon and the at tendance was most gratifying. As a matter of fact, the number attending has been so great that we are now holding them in the classroom upstairs in the Terminal Building. It sure was nice to see so many of the “old timers” again, and I was surprised at the number of 15-year participants on hand. Whenever your time comes up for you to receive your pin, if possible, try to attend this oc casion in INT. It will give us an opportunity to show you around the facility — that is, if you haven’t seen it. Did you ever do something and after you did it get a real feeling of satisfaction for, maybe, a good deed? I had this experience last week — I had the pleasure of escorting three underprivileged chil dren to Blowing Rock, North Carolina to ride Tweetsie. Their ages were 5, 8 and 10 years, and they had never seen anything like this before. You never saw three kids so “bug-eyed” in all your life. I don’t know when I’ve ever done anything that gave me more satisfaction than to see these youngsters have a good time. DEFINITIONS Fixed Income — Impossible budget. . Flirt — A hit and run lover. Home — The place where you get treated best and grumble the most.
