The
Alvin's ONE FIND Cam-
paign for 1966 edged over the
top this week, achieving the
goal set by the ONE FUND
Committee earleir this fail.
The sum of $26.075 27 was
reported as collected in cash
or pledges, with additional
moneys expected to be turned
in by volunteer.' this week.
The 1966 goal was estab-
lished at $26,073.
This is the fourth or fifth
year in a row that Alvin’s
ONE FUND has successfully
completed its quota and pro-
vided tor the participating a-
gencies.
ONE FUND became a fea-
ture of Alvin's civic program
over a decade ago when com-
munity leaders felt that one
campaign during the year
could be more advantageous
than the numerous drives for
funds which had previ&sly
been held annually.
The sum of $20,973 is plan-
ned this year as Alvin's con-
tribution to the Brazoria
County United Fund and will
be this city's 12 1, 2 per cent
share of the 1966 budget of that
group. There are 26 partici-
pating agencies in the United
Fund program.
Remaining in Alvin will be
an additional $1,500 for school
lunches; another $1,500for lo-
cal welfare; $1,200 for the Al-
vin Youth Center: and$900for
supplies and expenses.

Police were called Sunday
when one fracas erupted at
Johansson’s Drive in north of
Alvin, and the state highway
patrol handled a fracas at the
Whispering Pines on Highway
35 earlier in the weekend.
Otto Knape. operator of the
Whispering Pines, said a rum-
pus started there when Mrs.
George Augusta Price missed
her purse. The purse was
later found and the Price cou-
ple and Fred A.Cramer drove
away in their Cadillac.
State Highway Patrolman
Charles Whitcomb apprehend-
ed the trio at Highway 35 and
Highway Six overpass, with the
Alvin Police Department as-
sisting, and the trio was taken
before Justice of the Peace
Anna Tilton.
Cramer paid a $20.50 fine
for stopping on the roadway,
and Price posted a $200 bond
tor disturbing the peace. Mrs.
Tilton said she later reduced
this to a fine of $118.50 and
that sum was paid.
The Sunday fracas took
place about 4 p.m. Sunday
when five males got into a
disagreement which ended in
a fist fight Th»>y ware D F
