Sports Fans Asked To Give To AAU Fund T o Develop Amateui Athletes . ' "? . . ?? - a _ . HIGH POINT. ? Sports fans and other public - spirited citl i zens of North and South Caroli na were lnvite,d today to contri bute to a national fund - raising campaign to finance the expand ed activities of the Amateur Athletic Union of the United Sta tes. The Invitation came from Louis J. Fisher of High Point, president of the Carolinas AAU. The nation - wide goal of AAU Is a modest $500,000, and Fisher expressed hope that the Caroli nas would raise their proportion1 ate share: Fisher said the- money is need ? ed by AAU to: 1. Develop outstanding athlev tes to represent the United Sta tes in the 1956 Olympic games t ... In Australia: 2. Continue and expand the Junior Olympic competitions in which a half million boys apd girls participated last year . as part of the AAU's program to combat juvenile delinquency. 3. Enlarge the AAU physical fitness program instituted after World War II because of the a - larmlng numbers of American draftees rejected for physical reasons. 4. Provide financial support for the district AAU association, In cluding the Carolinas district, in their fast ? growing programs to encourage and develop amateur athletes and provide facilities /or them'. Fishec explained that half the money contributed in the Caro lines will be used in the two states, and the other half will go to the national AAU. He added that everyone connected with AAU works on a voluntary basis except the secretary-treasurer and his office assistants in the national headquarters in New York. Contributions may be sent to FiSher at Post Office Box 1846 in High Point. Checks should be made payable to <he Amateur Athletic Union. Contributions to AAU have been approved as de ductible In Federal income tax returns. All contributions will bfe officially acknowledged by AAU. "Throughout its 65 years, AAU has been self ? sustaining." Fish er explained, "but it needs help now to meet its responsibilities of long standing to millions of American youths and to move forward. A little financial help will ertable lis to accomplish, a lot. For years amateur sports have been helping other fund.s. Now is the time for public-spirit ed citizens to help a sports fund." The North Carolina Symphony partially state ? supported, pre-, sents a biennial concert in honor of the state senators and repre sentatives. This is believed to be the only orchestral program in the country played before a state legislature in session. NEW BLUE CROSS RURAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAM OPENS fiy ayw. AIMS -r m > .=?
