Hearn Against
Abolishing City
of Miami

Special to the Miami Times
Miami voters will be stamped
into losing their city's identity
and all of the privileges acquired
through the years if they vote yes
on the Nov. 10 to abolish the City
of Manu." Commissioner B. E.
Hesrn said yesterday.
Commissioner Hearn, Miami
resident for more than As years,
pointed out that he originally
supported the Metro plan a n d
feels it potentially offers an eff
ficient form of government for
many county and municipal
functions, although it Is no over
all 'cure-all solution for govern
ment.
Hearn urged Miami voters to
slow down and take stock in con-
sidering all Of the aspects of this
matter. 49, so
Metro never was intended to
abolish the City of Manu."
Hearn sid, "only to provide
more economical and efficient
framework for many overlapping
functions of government"
1.-THE name Of Miami Is of prime
Importance to the welfare Of all
local residents, particularly to our
overall economy, and our city
hardly should be abolished with
less than one months considers
tion," he declared.
ITO be fully effective, Metro
government requires the coopera-
ton of all of the people in Dade
County, In municipal as well as
the unincorporated areas. Ger
tainly Miami is the key to Dade
County and it Is unthinkable that
cur citizens will vote to abolish
heir city and to turn all Of, its
functions over to the county gov
ernment" Commissioner Heare
said.

United Fund of Dade County
has announced the goal for the
first campaign here,
Figures set for the campaign,
which ends Dec. IL, is $3,207, TOT,
according to Conner j. Kimball,
UF president.
Kinball said the goal figure
was reached only after exhaustive
study by three UF committees,
the admissions, budget and goal
groups.
Funds to be raised will go to-
wards the support Of 81 agencies,
including the causes of heart and
cancer.
The drive has already started in
small and large businesses, as
several thousand Dade business
men are canvaSsing for firm, ex-
ecutive and employee gifts.
United Fund Sunday, Nov. II,
will mark the kickoff of the
house-to-house phase of the cam
paign, when more than $4,000
women take to the field for UF.
United Fund of Dade County is
a non-profit, self-ruling corpora
ton, formed here last April with
the idea of eliminating all sepa-
rate health and welfare drives
into one annual campaign.
There were some 178 different
charity causes that registered for
solicitation permits in Dade last
year, and naturally UF has not
eliminatedall drives yet.
"We can't do the job in just one
year." John B. Turner, UF CAM
paign chairman said, 'Sbut If the
people Of Dade show they really
want UF we will include all the
worthy ones in future years.
