We are THE CFC also provides a payroll deduction privilege, not allowed under other fund drives. The suggested fair share for a gift to the many health and welfare agencies in the CFC is a days pay. This amount may be difficult to give in a lump sum but under the payroll deduction privilege, tills sum can Ire spread out in 26 installments for civilian employees or in twleve installments for military personnel based on the numlier of paydays during 1971. To sign up for the payroll 55 army-styl- deductions, all that is necessary is to fill out a CFC! pledge card and the attached payroll authorization form and turn them into the keyman. The amount specified on the card will then lx; deducted for CFC during each pay period during the calendar year 1971. No payroll deductions will lie made imtil the first pay period of year 1971. The least amount that can le deducted is fifty cents per (ray period for civilians employees and one dollar per pay period for military personnel. There are 58 health and welfare participating agencies in the CFC and each contriliutor may designate how much of his gift he wants to go to one or more of these agencies. The can do this by using the code numlier shown for each agency in the space provided on the pledge card. All contributions which are not designated for a specific con-trilmt- or agency will lie d divided among the major fund groups in amounts sufficient for each group to attain its dollar goal or its pro rata share of the goal. on-du- ty The Hlaek Soldier In Histor Most periodicals and history ('ENTER for military assistance the at Ft.
