Mrs. Hattie Wright Finney
Mrs. Hattie Wright Finney,
55, of 422 North Dudley Street
died Saturday, September 2,
1967 at 3:00 p. m. at the An
thony Rest Home on Plsgah
Church Road after an extended i
illness both at her home and at
the L. Richardson Memorial
Hospital.
Mrs. Finney was born in Guil
ford County, Greensboro, on
March 25, 1912. Since her youth,
she was a member of the United
Institutional Baptist Church
where she served most often as
a Bible School teacher. She was
a retired school teacher, having
taught science at the high school
In Liberty, North Carolina where
she taught during most of her
teaching career until her illness
about 1955. She was active in
her school community as a Girl
Scout leader as well as admired
and respected by the community
for her tireless efforts to upbuild
the youth of the community.
She was a graduate of the
Agricultural and Technical Col- i
lege from which she received
the B.S. degree in chemistry. ,
She was a devoted niece of Mrs. |
Nannie Minor, also of the United
Institutional Baptist Church
with whom she made her home.
The funeral was held Monday,
September 4, 1967, In the chapel
of Brown's Funeral Home with
Rev. J. W. Tynes officiating.
Her survivors Include Mr*.
Golden Graves, mother, of
Greensboro; and Mrs. Nannie
Minor, aunt of the Montgomery
Rest Home of Blscal, North
Carolina.
Hayes and Melvin said the in
crease is necessary to take care
of the normal growth in the
programs provided by the
United Fund member agencies.
"The Greater Greensboro Area
has seen tremendous growth
during the past year, and as a
result agencies must expand
their programs to take care ol
additional needs brought on by
this growth," they said.
Also, the recommended alloca
tion to the American Red Cross
was increased over this year due
to increased national commit
ments of the Red Cross for mili
tary personnel in Vietnam and
in the area of disaster services.
The agencies to be included in
the campaign are the same 35
agencies the United Fund is
supporting this year. Also in
cluded is Greensboro's share of
a special one-year grant to the
National Council on the Aging
from United Funds in North
Carolina.
The goal, set by the United
Fund Board of Directors, is
based on recommended alloca
tions submitted by the United
Fund Budget Committee follow
ing careful review of agency re
quests for 1968, Hayes and Mel
vin said.
Agency requests for 1968 to
taled $1,218,886. These were re
duced by the budget committee
to $1,178,518. A contingency pro
vision of $62,027 to cover losses
due to deaths, transfers and un
collectibles makes the total goal.
The goal represents an in
crease of 73,571 above support
provided United Fund agencies -
during 1967.
The official dates for the
campaign are October 2-17, but
many campaign units will start
soliciting prior to Oct. 2. The
Torchlighters, firms which hold
advance campaigns, started their
campaigns on Sept. 5 and are
scheduled to be completed by
Sept. 15. Campaign report meet
ings are scheduled for Oct. 10
and 17.
Last year's campaign goal was
$1,163,102, and it was over
scribed by S68. In 1965 the goal
was $954,414, and the amount
raised was $1,007,000. During
