Some of the most frequently asked questions about the
United Way are answered as follows:
Q. If there is an organization on the list supported by
United Way to which I do not want to give may 1 exclude that
one?
A. Yes. All you do is tell the volunteer or send a note with
your pledge saying which things'you do or~do not want to
support. Ruby Smith, Yancey County United Way treasurer
will apportion your donation just as you specify.
Q. How much should I give?
A. Our drive here in Yancey County has chosen the rule
followed in most of the United Way drives across the
country-One Hour’s Pay Per Month for the Y ear. The idea is
simple. If someone in need asked for your help you certainly
could find one hour in a month to help out. Through United
Way you are doing the same thing by donating that much.
Q. What if I am short of cash right now?
A. No problem! You may pledge what you wish to give and
pay in January or ask to be billed quarterly. If you are on a
regular payroll you may have your donation deducted.
Q. How much of my donation goes for fund raising?
A. None. Unlike some charity drives our United Way
campaign is run entirely by volunteers who give their time and
work as a part of their contribution to their community. Your
contribution goes entirely to the organizations you want to
help. No paid money-raisers in Yancey County! We’re proud of
being able to do it ourselves.
Q. If a volunteer does not come to see me how can 1 give
my donation?
A. You can see Ruby Smith, Treasurer, at the Court
House; Ben Floyd, President, at First Citizens Bank and Trust;
or Hazen Ledford at The Northwestern Bank.

Coach Hughes commen
ted: “We played a really good
football team Friday night and
they had a lot to do with the
way we played, but we did not
play well at all. Vfe were hurt
by having 5 starters out after
the first quarter but we still
did not play to our potential.
We made many mistakes on
offense and defense. We must
work to eliminate these
mistakes in order to be ready
for Mitchell County.
“We were not aggressive
on defense Friday night. We
had several players who
played very well under the
circumstances. Jim Edwards
played very well as a
defensive end as as our
center. Jerry Crain had a good
game as middle guard and
strong guard. Doobie Young
ran hard as a running back
and Greg Bryant played well
as a linebacker.
“We are going to work
hard to eliminate mistakes
and to become more aggres
sive on defense this week. I’m
sure Mitchell will be ready for
us. This will be our biggest
game so far this year.”
