TWELVE PAGES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1960 TRAIGN NEEDS SUPPORT UF Drive Short; at 45% of Goal It since 1950, when the great western migration began its march into Orlando, has the need for health, cultural and social safeguards been so acute that Anaheim and Western Communities." So said Jay DeDapper today, chair of the Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund as the 1960-61 campaign, slow start, reached the 45 per cent point of a $290,000 goal. "We need the full support of all 200,000 residents in this area," he said, "to maintain the dignity, security and peace of mind for every individual that we have always enjoyed in the past." Hundreds of volunteer workers are devoting long hours to bring the campaign to a successful conclusion. These workers, according to DeDapper, are no select clique of civic leaders, but are neighbors, men and women living in every block in every community. The UF goes far and beyond any mere charity, he said.

These workers, according to DeDapper, are no select clique of civic leaders, but are neighbors, men and women living in every block in every community. The UF goes far and beyond any mere charity, he said. In building the sound character of our youth, nearly every boy and girl reaps the fruits of the United Fund through the Fund supported Boy and Girl Scouts, the YMCA and the Camp Fire Girls. For personal health, he said, the Fund supports the Orthopedic Hospital, Children's Hospital, the Crippled Children's Relief Assn., and the Visiting Nurses Assn. The funds delegated to these hospitals and organizations by the Anaheim-Western Communities UF are used only for the patients from this area. The Red Cross, said DeDapper, plays a daily important role in our lives, is a solid standby in the event of any area emergency or disaster, and is a vital instrument in the field of open heart surgery about to be instituted in Orange County. There is still another field, he said, one that everyone is well aware of and deeply concerned with but one that is too often referred to only in whispers and seldom discussed in family circles. This is the field of unwed mothers, juvenile problems, and the wide variety of social disorders that grow with every community. Taking the responsibility to treat these difficulties with understanding and good taste are the Catholic Welfare Bureau, Family Service Assn. of Orange County, St. Ann's Maternity Hospital and the Salvation Army. To those in need of moral uplift and understanding, he said, are the Assn. of Christian Churches and the United Service Organization. "Anaheim and the Western Communities have made great advances in the last decade in industry and new housing." Miss Sophronia Burns Miss Sophronia Burns, 211 N.
