: pre-campaign solicitation. Al
ready $3,000 in contributions
have been pledged, before the
official kick-off of the cam
paign, set for Wednesday, No
vember 15.
Faced with the threatened
abandonment of this year's cam
paign, an emergency meeting
of community club leaders has
brought the UF organization
back to vigorous life. The ac
ceptance by Cara Cox of the
chairmanship of th^ drive, has
served to hearten all friends of
the organization.

lead approximately 40 volun -
teer solicitors in covering the
county. Areas to be covered
by the various teams have al
ready been largely assigned.
Oscar Deyton has volunteered
to be responsible for the west an
half of Burnsville. James Ray
will cover the eastern half.
Other workeis are volunteering
to cover other areas out in the
county. The assignment of
territories is being supervised
by Mack B. Ray.
To publicize the UF drive,
a dozen club leaders and other
interested citizens are record -
ing tapes to be broadcast by
radio station WKYK. Herbert
Allen is heading up this activi
ty, and the tapes will shortly
be heard through the coopera -
tion of Ardell Sink's station.
To stimulate interest in the
drive, and give appropriate re
cognition for generous donatiais,
two classes of contributors will
Idle

be recognized. A "Century
Club" will consist of those who
give SIOO. Last year the Cen
tury Club consisted of 36 con
tributors. This year, an addi
tional category will be given
recognition through member -
ship in a "Patrons Club", con
sisting of those giving S2OO or
more. The membership in
these two "clubs" will be pub
lished during the campaign in
The Yancey Journal.
A large supply of the printed
budget of the UF is now avail
able , and will be in the hands
of all solicitors. This budget
shows that the funds collected
go to support an impressive list
of activities which contribute
to making life better in Ymeey
County. Virtually all the agen
cies provide benefits to a broad
cross section of the county's
residents, without regard -to
income or place of residence.
