Tuesday breakfast to open UF campaign By JOHN MOSELEY News Staff Writer The 1979-80 Lamar County United Fund campaign is scheduled to officially start Tuesday morning with a kick-off breakfast in the Paris Junior College ballroom, according to Campaign Chairman G. The breakfast, scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. start, will feature a motivational speaker and a slide presentation on the services provided by the Fund's member agencies. According to Hodges, E.

Ridley Briggs, president of the Paris Bank of Texas, has agreed to be the motivational speaker for the event. Campaign workers will receive their materials for the campaign at the close of the breakfast, which Hodges said would end around 8:30 a.m. Hodges said that while the campaign does not officially start until the breakfast, many of the workers involved in the campaign have already started work. The workers in the employees gifts division, Hodges said, received their materials last week and have already begun soliciting contributions. Leland Smith, chairman of the mail contact division, has already reported two-thirds of his goal has been collected, Hodges said.

"Our goal of $157,500 is ambitious," Hodges said, "But there is a definite need among our agencies for funds and we certainly want to fulfill some of those needs." For some of the member agencies, Hodges said, the United Fund contributions they receive makes up the bulk of their yearly budgets. "Whether or not our contribution is the bulk of their income or not," Hodges said, "It goes without saying that each organization needs the funds we provide them" with." Of the $157,500 total goal, Hodges said, the Deprived Child Service will receive an allocation of $4,250, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program will get $3,500, the American Red Cross will receive $11.200. the King's Daughters will get the Paris and Lamar County YWCA will get $14,000, the Red River Valley Girl Scouts will receive $19,500, the NeTseO Trails Council of the Bov Scouts of America will get $24,000, the Boys' Club of Paris will get $25,950, the Lamar County 4-H Council will receive $1,100 and the Salvation Army is scheduled to receive $24,000. Once again, Hodges continued, the Employee Gifts division, headed by Mark Nolen has been asked to accumulate the majority of the Fund's goal. This year, Nolan and his workers have been asked to raise $87,700.

The bulk of the remaining goal will be expected to come from the Pattern Gifts division headed by Walter Bassano and Johnny Williamson. That division's goal is $33,590. Other divisions and'their goals are: Mail Contact, headed by Leland Smith, Government Employees, headed by County Judge Brady Fisher, Advance Gifts, headed by Lyndol Brown, Paris Schools, headed by J. C. Coker, Jerry Stephens and Bill Moseley, Professional Gifts, headed by Lonnie Kennemer and Julia Biard.

Women's Division, headed by Lucy Terpening, Small Businesses and Employees, headed by Paul Wells, County Communities, headed by Albert Ware, $900; and the County Schools, headed by Wayne Beard, $500. "These people have pledged to work a lot of hours this year," Hodges said of his volunteer force, "And, with that type of effort and the involvement and support of the people of Lamar County, we can reach our goal." Bogata votes against sale of booze Voters here have decisively defeated a proposition which would have provided for the off-premises sale of all alcoholic beveraees. The vote was 158 for and 367 against, according to unofficial returns. Voting was at City Hall and those living within the city limits were the only ones eligible to cast a ballot.
