Fifty-two Agencies Receive $1,133.00 From United Fund Fifty-two United Fund agencies | will receive $1,153,000 according to | Attorney Mitchell Jenkins, Shrine Acres, Allocations Chairman of the | 1962 Torch Campaign. The announcement by the ‘Allo- cations Chairman of the Wyoming | Valley United Fund, brings to a close the extensive allocations pro- gram which involved more than 178 hours of meeting by the 41 volunteers serving on the four Con- ference Groups. Attorney Jenkins, called attention | to the fact that the Allocations Committee volunteers were faced with the task of allocating $150,000 less than the $1,300,000 originally requested by the agencies. “This means the agencies will ex- perience more of the difficulties | they suffered last year, that they | may be unable to meet existing requests, and new areas of service, yet untouched, cannot even begin to be explored”, Jenkins said. In announcing the total alloca- tions Jenkins said the committee believes in the agencies’ services entitled to full support. The volun- teers spent many hours reviewing | each agency’s program and needs, plus all income and expenditures.
