Pennsylvania State Council of Executives United Fund 'Fair Share' Gifts Described The scale of "fair share" giving for doctors, lawyers, and business executives in the United Fund campaign this fall will run from for an annual income of $5,000 to for an income of $25,000. The higher figure, in each case, is "the average gift of the most generous 20 per cent of giving," as described in a pamphlet which will be distributed by the United Fund to executives and members of the profession. The fair scale has been used In previous Fund campaigns, but this year it is more flexible. A second category has been added to designate the "average gift of the next most generous 20 per cent of giving." For example, in the past an executive earning $8,000 a year was asked to give $102. This year, he will have the alternative of the "next most generous" standard of $79.

The "most generous" scale this year has the same range as the single scale for previous years. (Continued on Page Forty-Five) See United Fund U. S.
