My dear Mr. Kelloggr —
I want to thank you for your very frank letter which I have just

received. I assure you that I can appreciate the forebodings that
you have. i too share some of your ideas.

3 May I give you a short history of this funding of all things in
one drive. The idea first started in Alabama and then spread to Ind-
dana and some of the eastern states. In Alabama the people went to
the governor and said, "There are so many solicitations, why can we
not include them all in one?" It was started there and found to be
successful. .

Finally, this single giving had assumed auch proportions that it
‘was presented to the President of the United States. He approved it,
and it now seems to be the rule rather then the exception.

I only mention this to show you that it is not a local proposition.
You will understand I am not endeavoring to dcbate your arguments, be-
cause I have already told you that I agree with some of your reactions,

It is possible for you to make individual sontributions to certain
things. At our workers meeting this morning it was definitely stressed
that if any individual wishes to make « particular contribution to a
certain thing, all that will be necessary is to have you write on the
of your pledge card the organizations that you wish to benefit.
on the front of the card a refersance to your statement on the back,
and these organizations only will be oredited with your contribution.

I still think you would make a fine solicitor because you have been

discrininating in important questions. And a good solicitor is one who
is well informed of the facts. Thank you so much.

Stasernly yours,

Director of Physical Education,
Varsity Basketball Coach. eset
