United Way needs about $60,000 to “go over the top” in its 1977 fund drive in Utah County. Officials know where about half of the money is coming from. They’re hoping the public will open up their hearts to supply the rest by the end of the year – or at least by Feb. 1, date of the annual United Way meeting. United ay (and United Fund as it earlier was named) has been functioning as a Utah County entity since 1964. Currently it supplies funding to 17 youth, charitable, and humanitarian agencies. The organization has no door-todoor solication. It functions largely through businesses and industries and leadership groups. The Pilot Division, headed by Lynn Barney, mainly functioning with the banks and through seven “loaned executives” from individual firms, has exceeded its goal with $116 per cent – a highlycommendable showing. The Key Club group headed by Henry A. Huish reached 103’per cent as of Wednesday. The club embraces a list of top executives in the county. The Provo area, with loaned executives working under Ted Morgan, is at 83 per cent and going up. Two areas which started a bit late and have a long way to go are the North Utah County group and the professional men including lawyers, doctors, and dentists. The money budgeted by United Way will be divided about even between youth and adult groups. The 17 specific agencies to receive funding include: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H Clubs, Big Brothers and Sisters Program, Alcolohol Recovery Center, Alpine House, Red Cross, Crisis Line, Family Counseling Center, Help, Inc., Mental Health Association, Multiple Schlerosis, USO, Recovery for Adult Handicapped, Visually Handicapped, and two agencies which are participants rather than members heart and cancer societies. By the nature of the campaign, with no door-to-door soliciation, many people are missed. Whether you’re included in this group or simply haven’t responded to the call, we urge you to support United Way. One convenient way would be simply to put a check in the mail addressed to United Way, P. 0. Box 135, Provo. Or you migh wish to contact one of t e top eaders themselves. In the latter event, we’d suggest getting in touch with Larry King, president of United Way in Utah County; or Jack Holmes, director. A Lesson . Unleorned A Tokyo newspaper reporterhas tested anti-hijacking security at a baker’s dozen of the world’s major airports and found it woefully wanting in most cases. Hiroshi Sekiguchi carried a pistol-shaped electronic lighter in a shoulder bag during an 18,630 mile trip through Europe and Asia. Guards at six airports detected and confiscated the lighter, but seven others condniicted no close examination at al. That shouldn’t surprise. For some inexplicable reason, a number of countries have refused to take the hijacking menace seriously. There is a flurry of concem with each new incident, but it quit Ty fades. Wha. s amazing is that one of the airports that permitted Sekiguchi to board a plane with his fake pistol was Frankfurt, West Germany. More than amazing. For a country which has suffered so much at the hands of terrorists and which is their current favorite target, it is incomprehensible.
