We are not trying to be amusing. There is no
humor in the fact that this years UGF drive has
not met the critical needs of the 148 agencies
that serve Washington, nearby Maryland and
Northern Virginia. There's no laughing off the
shoes that won't be delivered to a children's
home-the medical care that won't be provided
to some lonely oldster training that won't
be given to a retarded youngster. And if you
think UGF is all charity, what about the dollars
that won't be provided for medical research?
Those dollars, you know, could mean the life
of someone you love.)

in the area reached $7,577 in

However, rising prices during
the 1949-1959 period reduced
the percentage increase to
about so per cent in terms of
real earning power.
The preliminary census

(AP) Voters in the late Sam
Rayburn's congressional district
sought to elect his successor
today.
AS few as $4,000 citizens are
expected to ballot. Political
observers expect last-minute
Christmas chores to keep many
away from the polls.
Only 18,461 of about $4,000
eligible voters in the 4th dis
trict cast ballots earlier this
year in a special United States
Senate election.
The seven-county 4th district
is the sixth least-populous in
the Nation with 216,371 resi-
dents. Mr.. Rayburn for years
persuaded the Legislature to
keep the district intact. He
died November 16 of cancer.
Running for his seat are two
conservatives and four men
pledged to carry on the tradi-
ton of Mr.. Rayburn, who held
the seat 48 years.
The conservatives are Conner
Harrington, 36, Plano farmer
a Republican, and Jack Finney,
As, Greenville real estate oper-
ator who calls himself a con-
servative Democrat.
The other four are Democrats
saying their political views are
close to those of Mr.. Rayburn,
who was considered a moderate
liberal in this State.
They are R. C. Slagle, jr., 81,
