Campaign Hears
-End; $267,940
Pledged Total
The Coastal Carolina College
Campaign for $300.000 to give
the cullegv its own quarters on
its own campus comes to an
end Friday and workers are
making an intense effort to put
g it over the top before that
" lime.
Ε. E. Prince, chairman of the
Coastal Educational Founda
tion, said Monday that the tot
al stood at $267,940. leaving
the campaign but $32,100 short
i>f its minimum goal.
Action was to be seen thro
ughout the county as workers
made a lust minute push to
put the total over the goal,
*»with Conway reporting a total
of $111,886; Myrtle Beach $70.
847: Loris and upper Horry
$43,617; Galivants Ferry and
Aynor area $10,485; Horry
county teachers $17,880;
Uucksport $715; and firms do
ing business in the county but
with headquarters elsewhere
$11,010.
But even as the workers
pushed toward the end of the
s campaign it was apparent
there are people in the county
who recognize the need for the
two-year branch of the Univ
ersity of South Carolina in
Horry, who recognize their re
sponsibility toward helping
keep It here and yet who have
not been contacted.
To these Mr. Prince sent this
message:
Please call your local radio
station or drop a card to
Coastal Carolina College Cam
paign, Box 91, Conway, S. C.
nnd someone will be sent to
you with full information.
You cannot escape necessi
ties: but you can conquer
