Public Relations and
Fund-Raising Points

The Importance Of sound pub
lie relations and adequate fund
raising were stressed yesterday
at the Board Members Institute.
sponsored by the United Com
munity Services.
The session at the YWCA, Sew
enteenth and K streets NV,
drew 100 members of various
boards. public and private. both
in and out of the Community
Chest.
A parody on board meetings,
shoVing how they should not be
conducted, was featured. This
was "The Three Hundredth
Monthly Meeting. Blue Sky So
ciety for Blue Birds, Travesty,
Ohio" In this appeared Cody
Pfanstiehl, public relations di-
rector Of Station WTOP, as
chairman of public relations, and
G.. Bowdoin Craighill, jr., Of the
McKenney, Flannery & Craig
hill law firm, who took the part
of chairman of finance and per-
Sonnel.
Others Participating.
Others who participated were
Frank Barger, as the president;
Mrs. Alice Elam, vice president:
Mrs. Maxwell Stokes, secretary;
Philip L. Gore, treasurer; John
G. Theban, executive director,
and Mrs. F. Price Merrels, chair
man Of volunteers.
The skit pointed up poor
publicity, bad management,
deficits, officers not fully advised
of the operations of their own
group, lack Of sufficient informa-
ton and delaying tactics.
The institute was opened by
Samuel F. Higger, president Of
the Jewish Social Service
Agency.
Two Sectional Meetings.
After the skit was presented,
the meeting broke up into two
sections. One, under the chair
manship of Mr.. Pfanstiehl, de-
voted itself to public relations.
The other, led by Mr.. Craighill,
focused attention on fund-rais-
ing.
Mr.. Pfanstiehl declared that
public relations comes down to
shirt sleeve work" He de-
clared the basis of all public re-
1ations Is absolute honesty. He
said the public relations officials
should be in the confidence Of
top-level officials and know what
Is going on.
Mr.. Gore told his group an
agency should get UCS permis-
sion for capital outlay, so that
fund-raising can be co-ordi-
mated. He made it clear Com
munity Chest funds are for op-
Grating expenses only.
