“Inflation, government budget cuts
and a growing population are among
the reasons the people of Tarrant Coun-
ty need tosupport United Way this year
more than ever before,” said general
rampaign manager, James R. Perry.
“United Way is the most efficient way
to help area residents maintain the
quality of life that they now enjoy.”
More than 15,000 volunteers are in-
volved in this year’s United Way cam-
paign to raise $11,896,432, the largest
goal ever established. Most contribu-
tions are solicited in the workplace at
employee meetings. Many companies
show the locally-produced United Way
campaign film and arrange tours of
United Way agencies for their em-
ployees.
People not solicited at places of
employment can mail contributions di-
rectly to United Way at 210 E. Ninth,
Fort Worth, Tex. 76102. Make checks
payable to United Way.
County, which benefited organizarions
affecting 3,718 Buriesn residents during
the past year, will launch its 1961
campaign Aug. 28 with a kickoff lunch-
eon far more than 1,000 fund (hive
volunteers.
Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue
will provide entertainment for the e-
vent, which will begin at noon in the
South Bay of the Tarrant County Con-
vention Center. The program will also
include a nationally-acclaimed United
Way multi-media presentation shown
on three screens covering 40 feet.
WRAP radio personality Bill Mack,
“the midnight cowboy,” will emcee the
kickoff festivities. Mack is the featured
spokesman in this year’s locally-
produced Tarrant County United Way
campaign film, “Because of You,”
which will be shown at the luncheon.
As in past years, KTVT television will
broadcast the last 30 minutes of die
luncheon five from 12:30 to 1:00 p.m.
This year Tarrant County United
Way is attempting to raise a record
$11,888,432 for human care services.
United Way supports 54 non-profit a-
ftind drive it conducts each fall.
Among the services offered at the
United Way affiliates’ 164 Tarrant
County service centers are individual
and family counseling, day care for
children of low-income working par-
ents, physical therapy, transportation
for the elderly, vocational rehabilita-
tion and leadership and character-
building activities for youth. James R.
Perry, president of First National Bank
of Fort Worth, is general campaign
chairman.
If the $11.89 million goal is reached,
the Aug. 28-Oct. 16 fund drive will be
Tarrant County United Way’s 22nd
consecutive campaign success.
At stake is the continuation of ser-
vices provided by such United Way
affiliates as the Easter Seal Society,
YMCA and Senior Citizens Centers Inc.
There are 54 United Way agencies and
special projects which depend upon
United Way support to maintain their
current level of services at 164 centers
in Tarrant County. These agencies
benefitted area residents more than
