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.

emergency relief; maintains health
and religious programs for young

You help finance the USO clubs
