UNITED APPEAL CAMPAIGNS GET UNDERWAY
During the months of September
and October, employees of Adams-
Millis Corporation will be asked to
give their support to the United Appeal.
The campaign in High Point begins on
September 8; Forsyth and Surry Coun
ty solicitations will be made during
the firstpartof October. The Hickory
campaign will, likewise, begin in the
month of October.
YOUR FAIR SHARE is the theme
of the United Appeal. By giving his
FAIR SHARE, each contributor knows
he has fulfilled his civic responsi
bility to his community through a "one
time gift" fof the voluntary health,
welfare and recreational agencies. The
FAIR SHARE plan of giving is made
easier and more convenient through
the payroll deduction plan. The em
ployee decides how much he wishes to
give each pay day. The pledge card
(shown next page) is signed and given
to the volunteer worker. The amount
indicated is deducted each pay day and
forwarded to the United Appeal head
quarters. The pledge is voluntary on
the part of the employee and can be
canceled at any time the employee
wishes.
Wh t‘rv Is The Money Spent ?
The money goes to the various
participating agencies in the United
Community Services. In High Point,
29 agencies are supported by the
United Appeal. Youth and recreation
receive 46% of the funds; family re
habilitation and care receive 21 cents
of each dollar, and 16 cents of each
dollar contributed is spent on disaster
and war. The remaining part of the
dollar goes to health and medical re
search and general community serv
ices.
How Does It Work ?
It works through local volunteer
leaders who determine its present
operation and future course. A board
of directors is elected at the annual
meeting of contributors; the board
elects the officers. Committee chair
men and committee members are ap
pointed from the board and community.
The operating committees are respon
sible for specific phases of the total
operation. The budget committee--
local civic leaders and workers--de-
cide how the money is to be divided.
They serve diligently all year, work
ing with the agencies, knowing their
needs and programs to determine how
much is to be allocated to each agency.
A few examples of your dollar at
work are:
. . . The Family Service Bureau help
ing a broken or troubled family.
. . . Retarded children attending day
camp and kindergarten.
. . . The Red Cross supplying blood
and assisting in disasters.
. . .Your Salvation Army helping the
down and out.
. . . Your Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts
having a better scouting program.
. . . The alcoholic being helped through
care and treatment.
"The good that men do lives
long after the men. "
Thanks for your help toward
the good of mankind.
