United Fund
Supports USO
The Yancey United Fund in
cludes in its budget a relatively
small amount for the support of
the United Service Organization,
which is aimed to benefit men
and women from Yancey County
now serving in the armed forces.
The amount included is about 70
cents for each of the more than
600 persons from this county now
in the armed forcesfc
The Budget Committee of the
Yancey Fund who furnish the fol
lowing information with respect
to the USO, believe that the in
clusion of this agency will receive
wholehearted support from Yan
cey citizens.
The United "Service Organiza
tions are a voluntary agency
through which the people of the
nation help to serve the religious,
spiritual, recreational.and educa
tional needs of the men and wom
en in the armed forces. The USO
preserves and strengthens the ties
between the members of the
armed forces and the civilian
community. It aims to provide a

The Yancey County chapter of

ted $2,700, or nearly one quarter
of the total United Fund budget

will assure continuation of the
blood bank in the county for the
'coming year, as well as provision
of the many varied services furn
ished by the Red Cross to men in
the armed services and to the.
families of men in service. In ad
dition, the sum allotted to Red
Cross includes Yancey County’s
fair share toward the relief of im

Scouts Get Aid
From United Fund
Both Boy Scouts and Girl
Scouts in Yancey County are in
line for financial aid from the
United Fund-Drive. Both these
activities are comparatively new
in the County and neither has at
tained a broad county-wide fol
lowing. At the same time there
are active troops of both organiza
tions, and a sufficient interest
among a number of adults acting
as leaders, to justify the Budget
Committee in'including funds for
their support. Financial assistance
for both Boy ahd Girl Scouts is in
the class of "investments” in Yan
cey'County youth, and members
of the committee admit
they were favorably disposed tow
ard “investments” of this type.
Regarding 'me Boy Scouts it
was felt thft activity meets a
fundamental need of all boys
the need to do things for them
selves, particularly in the field of
outdoor living.. This training,
linked with the character build
ing aspects of4scOutJng, provide a
program which develops good
citizenship, patriotism, and other
qualities which are so important
I in combatting delinquency.
Support of the program by the
United Fund will help it function,
and promote its growth in the
County.
The Girl Sj*»ut, program simil
arly is directed toward valuable
character building, and the furn
ishing of girls with wholesome
attitudes and interests which will
make them healthier, better, more
useful citizens. Leaders of Girl
Scouting in Yancey County assure
the Budget Committee that there
is a fine field for, expansion of
the activity among girls in the
■countyc GaHjfesiC'reaciaJy, inter
ested, and glad of the opportunity
to join, but the “bottle neck” that
slows down the movement is lack
of adult leadership for new troops.
The provision of funds for
Scouting will make it possible to
have training courses in the coun
ty to provide leaders, and it is.,
hoped a number of interested
women will volunteer for this
useful work.

Fund Provides
Welfare For Blind
An important welfare service
provided in Yancey County, for
which the United Fund is raising
money, is a program of sight
conservation and medical care for
persons, with impaired vision who
are financially unable to provide
such care for themselves. This
program which covers a variety of
activities, all connected with eye
sight, is carried on in connection
with the County Health and Wel
fare Departments.
One of the most important sery
ices provided under this program
is that of sight conservation in
our schools. Last year, for this
purpose, two eye clinics were
held, for each of which the State
Commission for the Blind provid
ed an eye doctor and a nurse.
School children, who in tests at
their schools had been found to
be greatly handicapped by need
of glasses, were sent to the clinics
for the necessary glasses.
Other- services provided in the
county under this program are the
provision of radios for the shut-in
blind, white cane walking sticks
for all the blind, and in some in
stances of the needy blind, hear
ing aids, dental and medical care,
and clothes.
One of the chief agencies be
■ hind this program is the N. C.
State Association for the Blind, a
non-profit organization for whom (
the local Lions Clubs have raised (
funds by the sale of membeiships
in the Association. This fund ‘
raising activity has been known
throughout ihe state as the White
Cane Drive. This year funds tor
the program have been included
TThudert... All,

program.

$11,300 Budget Set
For First UF Goal
The Campaign Committee of
the Yancey United Fund is ar
ranging things so there will be
much for pocket books,
writing of checks on the North
western Bank, and signing of
pledge cards, during the next two
weeks. The first annual United
Fund drive starts off officially
next Monday to raise a budget
goal of $i 1,300,-for dozen'health,
welfare, and educational object
ives, every one of which will con
tribute to benefit Yancey County
during the coming year.
Yancey citizens during the cam
paign may expect to sec and hear
much of the campaign slogans
“Everybody Benefits—Everybody
Gives” and ‘Give Once for All”.
These slogans condense in very
few words the objectives of'*the
United Fund drive.
In holding the campaign at this
time, the Yancey County drive
coincides with similar drives in
| hundreds of other communities in
the country, including most of the
more important areas in Western
North Carolina. Contributions in
Yancey County, it is hoped, will
be stimulated by much radio, tele
vision, and newspaper publicity
from these other centers. The
Charlotte TV station will carry a
two and one-half hour special pro
gram beginning at 7:30 P. M. on
next Monday night in support of

the United Fund drives in the ~
Carolinas. An outline of the drive
in Yancey County will be includ
ed in this program. All Charlotte
radio stations on Monday night
will carry similar programs sup
porting the" united fund drives.
This first United Fund drive in
Yancey County is under the di
rection of Torrey Tyner, Cam
paign Chairman, and Mack B.
Ray, Co-Chairman. Directors of
the Fund are particularly anxious
for this first campaign to be a
complete success, in order to firm
ly establish the united fund in the
County. Accordingly they are ap
pealing for particularly geneyus
contributions this first'year.
The advantages to Yancey
County of a united fund way of
giving have been outlined by R.
K. Helmle, President of the, new
United Fund organization, as fol
lows:
1. It provides an efficient, eco
nomical way of raising money, as
compared with having a dozen in
dividual drives, each for a single
purpose.
2. It provides for Yancey Coun
ty home control over the collec
tion of funds, which gives assur
ance that the money will be used
for the greatest benefit of the
County.
3. It makes possible the reduc
tion of fund raising activities in
the schools, which in the past
have interferred serionsly with
school work, and been a nuisance
to many parents.

Chest X-Ray Survey -
Moves Into County
i The chest X-ray survey which
began at Bakersville last Friday
will move into this county on Fri
day, October 7. The schedule will
be as follows:
Friday, Oct. 7—Clearmont High
School.
Sat., Oct. 8, and Tues., Oct. 11—
Micaville.
Wed., Oct. 12, and Thurs., Oct.
13—Bald Creek.
Oct. 14 through 26, except Sun
days and Mondays—Burnsville.
Survey hours are from 11 a. m.
to 5 p. m. each day. All persons
who have passed their 15th birth
day are mg’ed to t ike advantage
■ of. tb.i.s-chance to have a free chest
, X-fay- examination. Due to other
(- coArmftments, it is unlikely that
I there will be another X-ray sur
vey in this district for the next
year or so, as the mobile units
from the State Board of Health
are scheduled to be in other coun
ties.
Dr. C. F. Mcßae, the district
health officer, stated that he
hoped older people, in particular,
would avail themselves of this
service; he pointed out that tuber
culosis has now become more a
disease of older persons than was
once the case. The X-rays wRI
also reveal other disease condi
tions of the lungs and heart.
All holders of health certificates
teachers, school bus drivers,
school janitors and lunch-room
workers, dairy workers, other
food-handlers, barbers, and beau
ticians are expected to have a
chest X-ray examination unless
this has already been done in the
last few months. All high school
students, regardless of age, .will
be X-rayed when the survey is in
their neighborhopd.
Local expenses of the survey —•
postage, and salaries of the clerks ’
will be paid by the county

the Christmas Seal funds. Mrs.
