HEALTH-WELFARE
CAMPAIGN STARTS
•HEEJOMORROW
Twenty Organizations Join To
Eliminate Multiplicity
Of Solicitation
In the first annual campaign of the'
United Health and Welfare Fund a j
federation of appeals—local, state and
national' — twenty national agencies
raising money in Michigan have
agreed to conduct their money-raising
activities in one united drive. Four
national agencies have not yet agreed
to join the Fund. In a number of
counties, however, local citizens will
conduct their drives for these agencies
at the same time as the "United FUnd
Campaign.
The purpose of the organization is:
To cut down on the increasing multiplicity if fund-raising campaigns. In
most communities ma"ny 6f the same
people are active in first one drive
and then another. Is there any reason
why they shouldn't conduct one big
drive instead of two dozen small ones?
To assure an equitable distribution
of the funds available so that agencies
receive according to the need for their
particular type of service and according to the agency's ability to meet that
need. Too often small agencies performing valuable work receive inadequate support and must curtail their
-.rograins because the public is not
xware of the* importance of their worjt.
To assure communities that they
are being asked to raise their "fair
share" of national and state quotas,
.vlany communities feel that at leaBt
some agencies are setting quotas on
he basis of what the traffic will bear.
The campaign, in Clare county will
commence Saturday, February 12th,
with«a quota Of §6,000. On a state-wide
basis, approximately $1,000,000 is
neected for the services o£ the twenty
member agencies of the Fund.
The personnel of the county fund
raising committee includes:
Dr. G. C. Born—Chairman.
Conrad Walker—"Vice Chairman.
Ruby Garfield—Secretary.
Theo Wallington—Treasurer.,
Emil Bucholz.—Harrison'.
Chet Richard—Clare.
S. B. Watters—Temple.

Four national agencies have not yet agreed to join the Fund. In a number of counties, however, local citizens will conduct their drives for these agencies at the same time as the "United FUnd Campaign. The purpose of the organization is: To cut down on the increasing multiplicity if fund-raising campaigns. In most communities ma"ny 6f the same people are active in first one drive and then another. Is there any reason why they shouldn't conduct one big drive instead of two dozen small ones? To assure an equitable distribution of the funds available so that agencies receive according to the need for their particular type of service and according to the agency's ability to meet that need. Too often small agencies performing valuable work receive inadequate support and must curtail their -.rograins because the public is not xware of the* importance of their worjt. To assure communities that they are being asked to raise their "fair share" of national and state quotas, .vlany communities feel that at leaBt some agencies are setting quotas on he basis of what the traffic will bear. The campaign, in Clare county will commence Saturday, February 12th, with«a quota Of §6,000. On a state-wide basis, approximately $1,000,000 is neected for the services o£ the twenty member agencies of the Fund. The personnel of the county fund raising committee includes: Dr. G. C. Born—Chairman. Conrad Walker—"Vice Chairman. Ruby Garfield—Secretary. Theo Wallington—Treasurer., Emil Bucholz.—Harrison'. Chet Richard—Clare. S. B. Watters—Temple. Don Luce—Farwell.
