UCS Board Members
To Tell Businessmen
How Funds Are Used

Business firms are going to be
told In the next 10 days just how
the money contributed to the
agencies Of United Community
Services Is being spent.
The message will be carried to
$500 business firms by 500 board
members of United Community
Services agencies. Business men
also will be invited to attend open
house days at the various agencies
to see for themselves the work
that is being done.
This new approach in public
relations was announced yester-
day by Frank r. Jellef, president
of United Community Services.
Mr.. Jelleff pointed out that up
to now business people have been
visited only when they were being
solicited for contributions to Com
munity Chest Federation cam
paignS.
Busy Men and Women.
Personally" he said, II think
that this Is one of the best means
Of getting real information to the
community I have ever heard OF.
I am grateful to those 500 busy
men and women who are board
members of the various agencies
In United Community Services
who have taken over this task"
The program, it was pointed
out, Is part of the growing en-
phasis on citizen participation and
leadership in United Community
Services. Another evidence of
this tren came recently when the
Board of Trustees voted to in
crease substantially the number
of public -at-large trustees.
Arthur H. Kruse. UCS execu-
tive director. commented that the
500 board members have intimate
knowledge of the vital human
needs which require the atten-
ton of the health and welfare
agencies they represent.
Sharing knowledge.
"They are now sharing their
knowledge and convictions about
these problems with the business
leadership of Washington" Mr..
Kruse added. Every citizen
should welcome these visits"
The board members, said Mr..
Kruse, will carry this message to
the businessmen.
Vital human needs in WASH
1ngton are being unmet because of
lack of citizen understanding and
adequate financial support. We
appreciate your past support and
urge your increased devotion of
interest and money to improving
the health and welfare services of
the Nations Capital"
