UNITED APPEAL TO GET UNDERIFAY The United Appeal for 1963/64 will get underway in all Adams- Millis plants be tween September 23 and October 4. Vice President T. L. Smith has been named Key Man for employees of Adams-Millis. Mr. Smith has been c • i. active in the United Smith Appeal since coming to High Point in 1945; he will announce key personnel to conduct the United Appeal^in each plant of Adams-Millis. The 1963/64 budget for United Appeal is $331,475.00, 6% greater than last year's. Mr. Smith has pointed out that the campaign this year will be conducted on the same plan as in previous years with each individual and business being asked to assume its Fair Share of the cost of maintaining the vital health, recreational and welfare needs of our community. That is all that is asked-- that each give his Fair Share to the 26 agencies which are making one annual appeal instead of 26 separate appeals. It must be remembered that this is the time one gift is to be made for the sup port of the many different agencies. The Fair Share Plan, introduced in High Point in 1958, is a way of phil anthropic giving. People were asking in 1958, as in other years, "How much should I give ? " It was difficult, if not impossible, for United Appeal solicitors to handle that question intelligently, since so many factors affect one's giving--salary, family responsibility, unusual current expenses, income from sources other than salary, etc. Recognizing that it -4- was not possible to evaluate all these factors for all contributors, a group of citizens studied giving habits of their fellow citizens, and from this survey developed a solution to the problem--THE FAIR SHARE PLAN. Many employees wish to have a guide to assist them in determining their Fair Share. A chart is shown on the pledge card, suggesting con tributions based on average weekly earnings. A suggested pledge of 25^ per week is a pledge of a nickel per day. This is the quota on which each firm's responsibility is based, a pledge of 25^ per week, 50^ per pay day for each hourly worker. Each firm is likewise asked to give its Fair Share which is based on the number of employees working for the firm. J. H. Millis, president of Adams-Millis, has accepted the quota assigned for the company and urges each employee to do his Fair Share. Participating in the United Appeal are the following 26 agencies: American Red Cross American Hearing Society American Social Health Association Family Service Bureau Florence Crittendon Home Girl Scouts--Keyauwee Council Milk Fund National Society Welfare Assembly Red Shield Boy's Club Salvation Army USO Central YMCA Carl Chavis YMCA Adams Memorial YWCA Mary Beth\me YWCA High Point Community Planning Council International Social Service Boy Scouts--Uwharrie Council Carolinas United Community Services Children's Home Society of N.C. National Council on Crime and Delinquency National Recreation Association {Cont'd on next page)
