N?* and problem* of the on
coming generation in Watauga
County? from teen-agers to tod
dlers? havf had the attention of
United Fund planners lor thro*
yean. Several agencies and or
91 sanitation* 1b this field have made
*'IWPai ?*** budget committee
of the UF and have been a proved
for allotments on the schedule aot
Si up for tilt campaign which runs
from October 11 to October S7.
The Teen Canteen meets once
ma week in the school season and
twice weekly In the summer. For
the last year this young people's
organization has been under the
direction of Jack Groce of the
high school faculty. The Canteen's
activities are supported only by
9400 appropriation in the United
Fund budget.
The Teen Canteen has been bad
ly handicapped by lack of space.
The only available meeting place,
a room about twenty by forty feet
in site, has often been so crowd
ed by 100 or more teen-agers that
activities have been limited. But
without this room, donated by the
generoaity of Mr. Ralph Winkler,
the Canteen would have to dis
band.
Another organisation, the Emp
ty Stocking Fund, takes on Itself
the job of saving Christmas for
needy children in the county. It
made provision in the 1087 sea
son for a visit from Santa Claus
to 419 children in the county who,
without the United allotment to
j^the Empty Stocking fund, would
,have had nothing to hold their
faith in the old gentleman in the
red suit. In a number of special
cases, food was also provided for
families.
There are now 99 Brownies and
Girl Scouts In Watauga County,
members of two Brownie and three
Scout troops. Before the inclusion
of the program In the United
Fund, activities yere limited by
lack of materials and funds. Only
such supplies were available as
were donated by the adult lead
ers of the troops. The United
Fund appropriation has made
possible the study of handicrafts
and various camping trips, as well
as two weeks of a day camp in the
summer. '
The 4-H Clubs, which are the
center of activities for many
young people in Am eounty, re
ceive their only support from the
United Fund in a program previ
ously reported.
Another provision (or the need*
of school children in the county is
the School Children's Clothing
Fund. Distributing its moneys to
?II schools on an equal basis, the
organisation last year provided 1SS
pairs of shoes, 2* dresses, Ml
Jackets. 4 hats, 1# sweaters, 64
pairs of socks, S pairs of gloves,
and twelve sets of underwear to
pupils who would not have been
able to attend school, or would
have suffered severely from the
westher without the help of the
School Children's Fund.
The Watauga Crippled Child
ren's Fund has provided correc
tive braces, attendance at a crip
pled children's camp, and special
instructions ia the home directed
toward easing the handicaps of
crippled children.
The School Band project spon
sors band programs for Watauga
school units, and its United Fund
allotment makes it possible for
children to participate without re
gard to their ability to pay band
fees.
The Boy Scouts of America are
also sponsored in Watauga Coun
ty by the United Fund. The pro
gram supported all scouting acti
vities in the county, such as the
availability of field workers' to
Initiate and carry out many scout
ing projects.
