carried on by member agencies will have to be curtailed.
Actually, the financial needs and requirements of Lttle ---
League. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and all the other participating
agencies were pruned to the very minimum by the fund's
screening committee and at best, these agency programs will
succeed in 1966 only through maximum effort on the part of
the volunteer leadership at all levels—a cut in funds will be
most unfortunate.
We can't believe the business and professional leadership
in Graham will permit this to happen. It is most heartening to
know that the directors of the Graham Chamber of Commerce
have volunteered their services to assist the United Fund

Bruce Street, Jr., Ken Andrews,
and Louis Pitcock, Jr.
The Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors have ex- -
pressed deep concern that the
United Fund goal of $19,000
was short some $1400 and ex-
tended their facilities and abili-
ties for a concerted cleanup
campaign.
A committee is being appoint-
to solicit tromthose per sons, j
business owners, and emplo-
yees of Graham area firms who
have been contacted previously
to contribute to the United Fund,
and will appeal to those who
have given to increase their
pledges.
The many youth projects in
Graham — Little League, Boy
Scouts, Babe Ruth League, Girl
Scouts, Canteen, etc.--need
maximum support of the United
Fund, and will be among those
organizations whose funds will
be cut if the goal is not reach-
ed.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE GRAHAM AREA UNITED
FUND QUOTA BE RAISED IT IS YOUR COMMUNITY AND
YOUR UNITED FUND — whv did Graham's community lead-
ership ever start the -Graham Area United Fund Drive in the
first place? The answer if obvious: i .
1. Multiple drives duplicate fund raising costs
2. Volunteers become reluctant to serve, and serve well,
if there are multiple drives year after year
3 Multiple campaigns confuse and annoy contributors and
make more uncertain their support—even of the most
vital services. az” — - _ _
4 Time that can be devoted to church, home, business and
other civic enterprises is curtailed
5 Essential but not very glamorous agencies and services
are often poorly supported or neglected altogether
6. Immediate needs of the Graham community and it's
people go untouched because there is not time readily
available to adequately consider these vital needs and
organize to meet them.
Graham's response to and support of the United Fund ef-
fort through the years has always been most heartening and
adequate at all times The quotas have been reached or ex-
ceeded and on one or two occasions when the quotas have fal-
len a few dollars short there has been a cushion to carry over
It is fundamental, we think, that the United Fund should keep
at least a 10* cushion to be in a position to respond to any un
Approximately $40,000 has
been appropriated to Graham
elementary schools for a li-
brary and other projects ac-
cording to an announcement by
H. A. Hefner, superintendent oi
schools.
The school board recently ap-
preved the project, an Elemen-
, tsy Lsbrary Frogram, author-
ised by the Elementary and Sec-
ondary Education Act of 1965.
Mrs. Virginia Orr has been
named librarian for the elemen-
tary schools with three clerical
workers, Mrs. Helen Farmer,
Mrs. Virginia Cutshall, and
Mrs. Opal Bryan. The women
have been assigned to the ele-
mentary schools as library
clerks.
The project provides for
shelving, library equipment,
and furniture for each school.
The employees are now catalog-

reported they expected the ap-
proval of a project to purchase
library books for three schools.

"It’s that time of the year for
the Graham Goodfellows, spon-
sored by the Graham Lions
Club to be active” said J. I.
Moody, Jr. in announcing plans
for the Goodfellow activities in
Graham this Christmas. Moody
will be assisted by Wesley Sen-

plans for Graham Goodfellows
to assist needy families during
the Christmas season.
Graham Goodfellows spent
approximately $3,000 last year
providing clothing, shoes, and

lies in Graham. They delivered
over 85 boxes last Christmas
Eve.
Persons who know about the
needs of families and their chil-
dren are asked to write P. O.
Box 1049, Graham, Texas, in

work processing the data. Fam-
ilies who desire assistance are
urged to send a letter to the
