The first meeting took plate Tuesday in the Morehead City Municipal audi tofiuum. Ten persons attended the ques tion and answer forum and ex pressed their desire to learn more about the fund operation. Moderator P. H. Geer Jr. said that chairmen of other chapters have volunteered to come to More head City to answer questions peo ple of this area may have. Mr. Geer, noted that there are 10 to 12 drives for funds in More head City annually. These include Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Heart and Can cer Funds. Infantile Paralysis, Easter Seals, Band Association, etc. Some of these drives fail to reach announced goals and expec tations, Mr. Geer said, because of apathy of the public, duplication of expenses, and inadequate leader hip. Mr. Geer ?uid the campaigns come too close together. As for ex penses, each drive incurs its i own, and top quality leadership Is needed (or the success of any4 drtve. The United Fund provides the answers to these problems in that there is one drive only for funds, he said. Second, he continued, the fund selects administrative personnel carefully and only the most quali fied are named as chairmen. Questions Asked The meeting was then thrown open for questions. One had to do with the cost of having a Uni ted Fund. It was explained that the organization itself decides \/hether its chairmen should be paid or voluntary. Money is needed for advertising, posters, mailing, etc. This comes out of the operating expense. Next was a query on whether the fund could be made county-wide. This again would be up to tho*( investigating and studying possi bilities, said Mr. Geer If it is feasible then it could be done, but this would have to be worked out. The question arose as to what "take" if any the fund gets. None v*as the reply. All mfenies are al lotted to fund members and "a vol untary sum" is set aside for the USO. Expense money is also taken out. It was also stated that dot\ators can designate to what campaign their contribution is to be given. Representatives learned that there are two plans for getting monies. One is by payroll deduction and the other is voluntary pledges. Payroll Method By the payroll method employ ers take out a certain amount from his emplfiyees wages and turn it over to the United Fund. By the other method, pledges arc signed for certain amounts. Mr Geer said that "most" na tional charity organizations come into the United Fund. Some do not because of national foundation pol icies. Fund members on the local lev el. such as Boy Scouts and sim ilar groups, are carefully screen ed before becoming a member, he added. No drives can be con ducted separately unless sanction is given by the fund's board of directors, Mr. Geer explained. Exceptions are the Salvation Ar my Christmas Pots, and charitable institution "building drives." Opinion was expressed that more information should be obtained be fore the United Fund plan is adopted. Definite plans for anotheftmeet ing will be announced nexf^week said Mr. Geer. * ' Organizations represented at Tuesday's meeting were the Lions, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Jaycees, Emeritus Club, and Chamber of Commerce. Services to Start In Catholic Chapel At Beach Sunday Services will be lield for the first time Sunday in the new Cath olic Chapel of St. M,ary, Star of the Sea, on Atlantic Beach, according to the Rev.

While the chapel is by no means com plete, it will be possible to have Sunday services there from now on. Father Byron said.
