want it. the agencies want 1t
and we should stick to it,"
Mr.. Morris does not think
this years campaign goal was
too high He believes next
years goal may be even higher.
And he does not expect the
organization to be changed.
Novel Proposals Weighed
He and the other UGF direc-
tors will have some interesting
proposals to consider, however.
Executive Director Grayson
will ask the directors soon to
consider a rather radical re-
vision of aims. This is the
scheme he will offer:
Let UGF next year be re-
stricted to the people who gave
this year. Put their names on
a list and solicit them as usual.
Tell the 140 UGF agencies to
leave these people alone. But
tell the agencies that all other
persons and businesses are fair
game" and may be appealed to
for money wherever and when
ever the agencies wish.
Mr.. Grayson does not say
this is the best scheme or even
a good one. But he believes
UGF should consider its advan-
tages. One advantage is that
campaign staff can be reduced.
Another is that free riders, g
especially small businessmen.
cannot win relief from multiple
appeals unless they do their
share for UGF.
President Morris is one who
will oppose the scheme. He be-
lieves the United Givers Fund
'has an obligation to reach
everyone in the community
with its message, whether they
give or not" And he is conf
dent that the board will share
his views. 1t seems q good bet,
Whatever decisions are made
they will come from a cross
section of the Washington Met
ropolitan community, the $50
board members of UGF. They
will come before next June,
when the organization adopts
its goal for 1858.

Crisis for the UGF?

Red Cross chapter, says I'VE
have given no thought to the
possibility of withdrawing. Hav-
ing started this one-package
idea, we should give it every
chance to work. One year does
not tell the story"
Other UGF agencies with
strong national Affiliations are
the Salvation Army and the
Boy Scouts. Neither is weak
ening in its tie to UGF.
Philip Larner Gore. chair
man of the board of the Sal
walton Army here and president
of the National Capital Area
Council of Boy Scouts, says.
l"Our eyes are open and we
view the present situation with
alarm. but we will do anything
to keep the United Givers Fund
alive"
These agencies must all take
a cut in their ALLEGATIONS If the
United Givers Fund does not
reach its mark. The cuts will
probably be distributed pro-
portionately.
What then does the future
hold for the United Givers
Fund?
E. K. Morris is probably the
best spokesman for the organi-
zation. He was the head Of the
last Community Chest drive.
held in 1855, which was the
! first peacetime drive ever to
surpass its goal. He was the
principal organizer of UGF in
1856 and headed its first cam
paign, which also went over the
top. He is now president Of
! UGF.
Mr.. Morris says, Just be-
cause a set of adverse condi-
tons has hit a campaign. is no
reason to give up the idea. 1t
is absurd to say the principle
of united giving is wrong or
that this campaign has not
been run right. This is the best
way to raise money for Com
munity agencies, the givers

rOpean nations are doing a superb
job of soil, water and forest tree
conservation. Very little land is
left idle, and tillage is very inten-
sive because of the concentrated
populations in many areas.

For Sussex HOmemakers
By Miss Frances ShOsfner
Home Demonstration Agent

With fresh Strawberries in a.
bunance now, many homemakers
will be making plans to use them
in as many ways as possible. Both
nutritionally and taste-wise this
is a good idea. Did you know that
Strawberries are an excellent source
of Vitamin c.?
Strawberries are highly perish
and "don'ts" to rmmbr:
able-here are some important
dos" ard "dOn'ts" to remember:
DO-store berries unwashed in
the refrigerator; remove caps af-
ter berries have been washed and
are fairly dry.
DON'T-buy more than you plan
to use in a day or two; let berries
stand in water-this will cause
loss of color and flavor.
Now is the time to store these
tasty beauties for later use-and
freezing is one of the most efficient
methods to use. For this croose
fully-ripe, firm strawberries that
are bright red throughout and have
a good flavor. Handle Immediately.
Wash a few times in cold water
Lift berries out of water; drain.
Cap and sort berries. Leave berries
whole or slice n inch thick.
Pack sliced berries in sugar, us
ing l part of sugar to 4 parts of
berries by weight. Sliced straw
berries retain their favor better
than the whole fruit Pack whole
strawberries in chilled 4e9o syrup
to cover 4O96 syrup is made by
adding 81 cups of sugar 80 cups
of cold water. Stir until dissolved.
Chill thoroughly before using.
If few berries are crushed to
form enough juice to cover the
fruit, the whole strawberries may
be packed with dry sugar, using
part of sugar to parts of berries
by weight.
Liquids and semi-liquids ex-
pand when frozen, so allow about
Il inch headroOm in every carton
For liquids or semi-liquid products,
bags must be heat-sealed. Close
liner or bag with a tight double
fold and seal with a medium-hOt
iron. Close box tightly, label, place
in freezer.
