County Girds To Raise *79,854 For Needy

The Kosciusko county effort to meet its 1965 United Fund campaign pledge began last Thursday night with real enthusiasm with a kick-off dinner at the Shrine building at the county fairgrounds. The quota for the drive: $79,854.

Larry Castajdi, 1965 campaign chairman, called toe quota “realistic.” He told 197 guest he asked all 13 benefitting agencies to cut away all fat in their requests in helping him and his workers reach the goal. He ctekd this the ""year of the Extra Effort.'’ He said this is a goal we can meet. He went farther, saying we “must” meet the goal or United Fond in Kosciusko county is in serious trouble.. ' In the stn-eo previous years, Kosciusko county has failed to reach 1 its quota. Mr Castakii tracked up his determination be writing a check for 5197 to the fund, representing SI j [for each person who attended the : dinner. He pointed out, also, that each person present paid $5 for a ticket. IS3 of whfch went into toe United : Fund Jerry Helwey, presdent of the thive, who was in charge of the i kick-off meeting said, “United Fond has not kept pace with the growth of Kosriwfcko county.” Spetecers beswtes Castaldt and Htewey included Joe Ettmger, Tom 1 Palmer and Tom Schmidt Ettinger, an old wheel horse in I prot United Fond drives, told the i group that if county residents gave i the United Fund one one-hundredth of what they pay in federal income taxes toe drive would net $106,000

This Is The Year Os The Extra Effort "This is tfito year of the Extra Effort!” ->* These were the emphatie words of Larry Castaldi of Mentone, chairman for the 1965 United Fund drive. The extra effort is to meet the United Fund quota for the first time in the eight years of the existance of UP in this county. The goal: $79,854. Castaldi called the quota “realistic,” with all the ""fat” eut away. He underscored his determination at the last Thursday night UF kick-off at the Shrine building at the county fairgrounds by contributing $1 for each person at the dinner —a whopping ?197 ! It was pointed, out at the meeting that if Kosciusko county residents gave one one-hundredth of w'hat they pay the federal government in income taxes, the UF would take in over It was also mentioned that residents of Kosciusko county are “warm and generous, and that the UF effort only has to touch. this responsive chord.” This we believe. This newspaper is responding to the United Fund' call and we urge all our readers t<> do likewise.
