United War Fund State Quota Reported As 89% Subscribed
"Pearl Harbor Day, December 7, will be Victory Day for the United War Fund of North Carolina," announced Major L. P. McLendon, Greensboro, State Chairman of the United War Fund today. "The total goal for North Carolina, including the National War Fund quota and all local social agency appeals, is $3,425,000. Of this we have had reported to date over $2,930,000, or approximately 89 per cent," continued Major McLendon.
The fall meeting of the Board of Directors of the United War Fund will be held on December 7, Pearl Harbor Day, at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel in Raleigh. It is fully expected that by that date the remainder of the state goal will be reached, thus enabling the United War Fund of North Carolina to meet in full its obligation to the 22 member agencies of the National War Fund.
At this meeting of the Board of Directors, Edward A. Conover, formerly of Washington, D. C., who has been employed as Community Organization Consultant by the United War Fund, will be presented. Mr. Conover's appointment is the direct result of the scores of requests that it has had from counties and communities desiring help in organizing Community Chests or Social Agencies, or in social planning.
