We realize that we are asked by other groups all during the year. Some of this asking cannot be halted—funds for polio have to come during their own special campaign The twelve agencies that are seeking funds for their programs are doing some outstanding work in our community—Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, U.S.O., Youth Center, Children’s Home Society, American }Heart Association, Community Servicemen’s Center and several | others j If the total amount of $55,000 is not raised some of the work will | have to be curtailed.
