this strong bi-district foe.

BOB VAUGHT
Owner and Operator
Launches Campaign
For Olympic Funds
“Olympic officials report
that their fund drive to support
the U. S. Olympics is $500,000
short of the $2,600,000 goal set
for October,” stated Bob Holi-
baugh, Texas, chairman - at-
large for the United States
Olympic Committee. Holibaugh
is operations manager of the
better business bureau of Hous-
ton.
He said that an all-out 25
day campaign will be launched
in Texas begining Aug. 31 in
an appeal to citizens to help
meet this shortage prior to the
Tokyo Olympiad, Oct. 10-24,
1964.
Holibaugh pointed out that
“unlike communist - controlled
countries, the U. S. Olympic
Team is entirely on contribu-
tions from private citizens—to
offset the cost of training,
coaching, lodging, food, trans-
portation, administration and
development to potential ath
letes.”
“It is the only non-profit
public fund raising effort,” he
added, "which seeks financial
support just one year out of
four. Not only will contribu-
tions be used to finance the up-
coming Tokyo Olympiad, but to
pay for our participation in the
Pan American games in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, the Winter Games
In Innsbruck, Austria, and the
development program of the
athletes for the next four
years.”
“We’re taking our appeal di
rectly to the people of Texas.
We belivc that Texans will
want to help and give their fair
share of the money neeed, es-
pecially since Texas expects to
be well represented this year in
Tokyo, .We are asking that con-
tributors dig into their pockets
and send a nickel, a dime, a
quarter or a dollar to: U. S.
Olympic Fund, 301 West Build-
ing, Houston, Texas.”
There will be no house-to-
house solicitations or “buckets
on the corner” Holibaugh has
advised. “We will make our
appeal largely through the
news media over the State, and
with personal appeals to civic
and fraternal groups.”
