United Fund Drive Trails Last Year In Shepherd
The Shepherd United Fund Drive lags behind 1961 with the business district solicitation done and a third of the house to house canvass completed. Only $600 has been raised so far from all sources and volunteers are fewer than in prior years. Village chairman Donald Gates praises current workers and hopes the drive wraps up by week’s end despite a slower pace.
