LETTERS TO THE STAR

must in this competitive age,
If the business or charity ex-
poets to be around for any
time. Competition is good for
business and charity alike. In
business it makes for better
products at better prices. It
keeps charities on their toes
as to administration, program
and community need. To sell,
promote and compete should
not be the exclusive privilege
OF the business community.
The trend toward United
Giving is more pronounced in
smaller communities. For ex-
ample, of the 821 United Fund
Campaigns for 1856, 397 were
for goals of less than $25. 900.
In other words, there is more
tendency to federate where
budgets and goals are modest.
People cannot be expected
to support every appeal. but
they do give where their inter-
ests lie. This interest can be
cultivated by charity over a
period of years only by dint of
hard work. and the efficient
administration of a program
that serves a community need.
In the open competitive mar
ket, how much money a char
lty can raise depends upon
the charity. There is no CELL
ing. Under United Commu-
nifty campaigns there is a CELL
ing. This accounts for a num-
Der of Chest agencies seeking
additional funds outside the
Chest under the guise of
membership campaigns.
Although a contributor NAV
designate his gift under the
United Fund. it is the great
number of undesignated gifts
that is the real pay-of. It
means the giants of fund
raising like Red Cross, Cancer
and Heart would get the bulk
OF this money based upon
their Embarrassing capabilities
before federating, while the
new charity or service would
end up with practically Moth
ing. In other words, the rich
get richer and the poor never
get rich.
There is no ceiling on the
amount of money required for
research to find a cure for
Gripping disease. 1t took
many years and millions of
dollars to discover the Salk
vaccine. This was made pos
sible only through the excel
lent public education program
of the National Association
for Infantile Paralysis, Inc,
and the generosity of the
American public. Cancer, tu-
berculosis, Juvenile delin-
quency and unwed mother
hood are community prob
lens. Neither the giver nor
the charity can duck their
obligations. There is no easy
way out, no short cut.
1t is wise to make haste
slowly toward greater fedora
ton in Embarrassing. Per-
haps the community need and
community ability to meet
this need should be more fully
explored than apparently has
been done, and in this re-
search and analysis all shades
of opinion and degrees of well
fare and Embarrassing expert
ence should be admitted to
the council.

about the new road also will

United GIVING

With the complete support
of Washington business and
the departments of the Federal
Government, the Community
Chest has reached its goal
twice in the past 10 years. Al
though the Chest went slightly
over its $4-million goal in the
last campaign. it still fell far
short of the financial needs of
its member agencies.
To do away with the annoy
ance and competition of char
liable appeals, the Community
Chest and members of the
Washington Board of Trade
formed a mutual protective
association called the United
GiverS Fund, under the guise
of protecting the giver from
multiplicity of appeals. Ignor-
ing completely the fact that
the ladies of our community
are the driving force of any
charities program or fund
raising activities, the Is incor-
poratorS of the United Givers
Fund are businessmen, whose
knowledge of Washington's
health and welfare needs is
not only limited but influenced
and dominated by the Chest.
The United Givers Fund, a
bigger Chest, will through the
IA members of its Admissions
and ALLEGATIONS Committee es-
tablish a virtual dictatorship
in the field of philanthropic
finance. Freedom of enterprise
and the right to compete ap-
parently is healthful for busi-
ness, but not for charity.
Here in Washington the
public is led to believe that
United Giving is the easy way
out, not only for the giver but
the charity. and that all
United Funds are. successful.
This is not true. OF the 1903
United Funds in 1856 with
goals Of 100000 and over, 10
made their goals; % did not
make their goals but showed
a gain over the previous cam
paign, while 10 did not make
their goals or show a gain
over the previous campaign.
Nearly three-quarters of the
United Funds are in small
cities with campaigns raising
less than 100000. On a re-
gional basis there are more
United Funds in the Midwest
than any other area. Approx
imately 45 per cent of all
United Funds come from is
big campaigns with goals of
SIS million and over. The gifts
of corporations and employees
account for 20 per cent Of the
total raised by the average
United Fund, with approxi-
mately equal proportions COM
ing from employees and firms.
In the business Of raising
money it is not wise to make
comparisons. The fact that
the United Fund method Of
campaigning is successful in
an industrial city like Detroit
is no guarantee whatsoever
the same formula will work for
greater Washington, a city
where better than two thirds
of the'flnancial support of any
appeal comes from the wage
earners. 1t is also dangerous
to assume that the giver will
give enough in one gift to meet
the needs of a United Fund.
The contributor will feel the
pinch more in one large gift
than If he supported two dozen
charities Of his choice through
out the year.
Our business constituents
will agree there is no substi-
tute for one personal approach,
whether one is selling insur-
ance, vacuum cleaners or
charity. And advertising a
product or a program is a

Martin Asks Nome Kids Aid Raising Barbc The Pawn

Barbe, a 212-month-old female reindeer fawn, which is housed by the Polaris Hotel and being cared for by Cheryl and Larry Martin, children of the owner of the Hotel, is becoming very popular with all the children of the town.
 Barbe's diet consists of rein deer moss, loves it; willow leaves, willow branches, grass, lettuce, cabbage, and other raw vege- tables. But - she must not be given candy, gum and other things that the boys and girls who come to admire her would like to share with her.
 Tom Martin says that Barbe belongs to Siegfried Aukongak, who owns the Golovin reindeer herd, and that she will be al- lowed to grow up here if the children will cooperate and not give her food which will make her sick or poke at her through the fence with sticks.
 Martin said if she is mistreated he will have to send her back to Golovin - but if the children cooperate by gathering grass, reindeer moss and other things good for a reindeer to eat, it will be raised in the pen with Martins red setter Irish, for com pany and she will some day be a pet for all to enjoy.
 The children can show their appreciation by gathering all the reindeer moss they can find and brining it to the Polaris for win ter storage.
