- OUR UNITED APPEAL
: GUEST EDITORIAL
-By-
DR. ROBERT SEYMOUR
Mars Hill, N. C.
The time has come when a very frank and posi
tive word must be said concerning those agencies
that refuse to participate in our Madison County
United Appeal. It is unfortunate that we cannot re
ceive complete cooperation in such a worthy civic
endeavor, but there are several groups which have
seen fit to reject our invitation to enter the United
Appeal. They are planning to compete with it rath
er than to work within its framework.
Fortunately, many of those agencies included in
our county budget are very much pleased to partici
pate. The Boy Scouts and the Red Cross, for ex
ample, have discovered that it is far more effective
to be partners in one well planned united solicitation
than to promote their own drives separately. These,
along with all the other well-known annual appeals,
were asked to submit a request for funds to our Bud
get Committee with the promise of receiving a fair
and proportionate amount of money from our county.
The groups less inclined to cooperate are the
medical agencies, but our Budget Committee has des
ignated a sum of money for each of these in the hope
that they would accept it rather than sponsor a sep
arate solicitation. There is of course no way of com
pelling an agency to come under the United Appeal,
even though it be included in the budget. However,
we are in a position to encourage their participation
by letting it be known that we are giving only in the
"united way."
Last week fifteen hundred persons in Madison
County received an appeal from the Tuberculosis
Association. Of course this agency does a good work
and it is worthy of, our support. Nevertheless, we
feel that the Tuberculosis Association is making a
mistake, by its failure to acknowledge the wishes of
our county by conducting an independent solicita
tion. Our Budget Committee eruarflntpprl tr ttiisr
j V; group a gift of not less than
drive receipts by $200. ' Despite this fact, the Tuber
'alffelsrAssociation has seen fit to promote its own
-5ippeal at the cost of unnecessary overhead and ad
ministrative work. This is unfortunate.
" ; Such an approach to our county by any organi-
, station is oasicauy irresponsible, if not selfish. It
-f , seems to say, "We are out to get as much money from
' r - Madison County as we can, and we are not interested
. i in the success of any other drive but our own." Fur
; ; , thermore, this approach fails to realize the relative
importance of one appeal over another. The sensi
tive citizen will also label such action as poor pub
; ,( he relations.
, ; r The time has come when some of us must decide
, - whether our higher ldyalty lies within the county
or with some outside organization. Our United Ap-
yew is jocany planned and administered by the wise
guidance of our most abde citizens. It is a way of
s giving designed to help us meet all of our charity and
u civiti obligations in a manner commensurate with our
. , . ; resources, and proportionate to a stated need. Every
' P.uP .has the privilege of requesting a place in our
budget, and we wish each recognized agency to re
, ceive our best support.
' " 'The United' Annual ha
communities to be the finest
v tu iue many cnaniy ana civic causes that seek our
, uwpuu u uu mucn lowara establishing1 , this
V&n ia our own county by saying to all those agen
cies that would by-pass our United Appeal, "We are
giving the united way." Eventually, perhaps, they
too will realize that the combined drive is the best -way
to secure a maximum contribution to their cause. .
