Details Given
On Joint Drive
By   Bob   Beyers
SALINE — The Saline Community Chest Board unanimously approved proposals for conducting a joint campaign -with
the American - Red Cross this
fall at a meeting with Red Cross
representative Friday, night.
Called the Saline United Red
Feather - Red Cross campaign,
the joint drive will probably
have a goal of $5,000-$6,00"0,
based on last years' Chest quota
and this years' Red Cross goal.
Tentative dates for the campaign are October 10-24, corresponding with the nationwide  Community Chest drive.
Under the terms of an agreement between the Community
Chest and the Red Cross, the
drive would cover Saline city,"
Saline and Lodi Townships, and
parts of Bridgewater, Freedom
and York Townships.
A similar agreement has been
drawn for a united Community
Chest-Red Cross drive -in Manchester, covering the village, all
pf Manchester, Township, and
parts of Freedom, Bridgewater
and Salem Townships.
Main provisions of the agreements are these: ,
1. Both the Red Cross and the
Community Chest retain control
of their own budget and goal.
2. Both the Red Cross and
the Community Chest are principals in the campaign; any
over subscription or undersub-
scription is pro rated between
them according to their share
of the total campaign goal.
3. The Reel Cross organization
lends its full support to the
joint campaign, but retains the
right to - conduct. emergency
driyejs, in- the, §veja*t JD^isj^er,
war, or "other" unforeseen'" need!.
The agree'mefn> stems from sl
basic change in the national
policy of the Red Cross, which
prohibited local chapters from
participating in joint drives
until a year or two ago. It is"
designed to. reduce the number
of charitable requests made of
area residents and eliminate
overlapping work by fund
raisers.
According" to Mrs. Ethel Atkinson, executive secretary of
the Washtenaw County Red
Cross Chanter, United Red
Feather-Red' Cross Drives will :
cover a large portion of the
County this fall. In addition
to the Saline and Manchester
agreements, the Red Cross and
Community Chest have signed
papers for a united 'drive in
Ypsilanti and will discuss a
joint campaign covering the
Chelsea area in the Chelsea
Municipal Building at 7:30 p.m.
today. Negotiations for a joint
drive are also under way for
the Milan area.
In most cases, she explained,
the area of each drive" will
cover a consolidated school
district. Parts of Freedom
Township, for example, will be
included in the Saline area
drive, while the balance will be
covered in the Manchester area.
