PROOF -- IT’S THRIFTY TO TRADE AT TYSON FURNITURE CO. black mountain, n. c. dial no 9-4381 Here's What Your United Appeal Dollars Buy ft HI gu Wilt’ll you give to your once-a-year United Appeal? Volunteer solicitors, now making a house-to-house and bus iness-to-business canvass in Black Mountain, Montreat and Ridge ciest believe firmly in the neces sity of all of us giving generously to maintain for another year the social services financed by this ‘'once-for-all" campaign. Workers point out that not only are numerous county services and state and national agencies thus enabled to serve our local resi dents, but that right here at home are several services which are completely financed throughout the year by United Appeal funds. The American Red Cross’ Black Mountain-Swannanoa chapter pro vides varied services to these two communities, including water safe ty programs, learn-to-swim classes, first aid, home services—as well as a link between the service man and his family, also as contact of social service resources of Bun combe county through referral to agencies located in Asheville, in addition to supporting the national disaster program. Another United Appeal service, the Black Mountain Christmas Cheer Fund, operates through vol unteers to give clothing, food and toys to the needy at Christmas. The fund for Black Mountain recreation function maintains a recreation program and buys play ground equipment for use of young people of the community. In the past year, numerous com munity members have turned to United Social Services at 50 Col lege street, Asheville, a multi function agency which offers pro fessional counseling on marital problems, budgeting, job adjust ment, parent-child relations, home management, personality problems, etc. It gives temporary financial assistance, visits and counsels the aged, the sick and the lonely, and maintains an active Traveler’s Aid, with a network of travel assistance in other cities. Support for the programs of the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts bring Jtheir pro grams within the financial reach of all. Sometimes the question is heard: Why help the Y’s and the Scout programs when they charge fees? The answer is: If members of the Scouts and Y’s had to pay the full cost of the program, the expense would be prohibitive for a lot of boys and girls. Because of your United Fund contribution, no one is denied participation. Sometimes one hears a person say: I know of a family who didn’t receive help from the Unit ed Fund. Why not? The answer is that each case is based on merit and the agencies’ field of service. Some cases apply to United Fund agencies for relief when this is available from public sources. Your United Fund agencies channel the client to the right sources for the right help. Another question: Do United Fund agencies give cash relief? The answer is, yes, in certain cases, on a short-time emergency basis. Fund agencies are largely preventive in nature, through counseling, youth programs, etc., but temporary help is available. What can you get out of the United Fund? You get the sat isfaction of providing protection for yourself and your family from disease, delinquency and despair, which the United Fund service' combat in many ways every day ol the year. The Buncombe County Cerebral Palsy clinic at Asheville Ortho pedi'c hospital is thereby made available to residents of this anc other county communities; so are A broken home...a broken heart... there’s nobody left but you the Buncombe County Heart clinic and the Lions Clinic for the Blind at Memorial Mission hospital; and Pre-School for Handicapped Child ren at Asheville Orthopedic hos pital, and other services sponsored by the Crippled Children’s League of Buncombe county. The Salvation Army extends a helping hand to the desperately needy and the homeless through a transient shelter, collection and re-distribution of clothing and used furniture; gives counsel to the despondent; gives direct emergency relief; maintains health and religious programs for young and old. Your United Appeal aids the United Medical Research Founda tion of North Carolina in provid ing funds for medical research in polio, TB, heart disease, cancer and other diseases. You help finance the USO clubs serving military establishments in the Carolinas and 138,000 Carolina men and women serving elsewhere in some branch of the military service. You also help maintain the Florence Crittenton Home at Charlotte, a maternity home for unwed mothers which serves every county in the state; you aid the National Conference of Christians and Jews, which is dedicated to promoting brotherhood through a preventive program of conferences and education; the program of Crusade for Freedom, which in cludes Free Europe and balloon messages of freedom and encour agement to the peoples in the na tions over-run by Communism; and the work of the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina, one of the oldest and largest adop tion agencies in the United States, with a Western District office in Asheville, and helping babies and adopting couples from every com munity in the state, and is non sectarian and charges no fee. These are some of the programs you help to foster when you give your support through the once-a year United Appeal.
