This is better than half of the $97,000 total achieved in 1962, andthe fund raising drive still has several weeks to go, closing on August 21. The campaign is based upon a thorough solicitation system whereby each of the Company's nearly 30,000 employees is individually asked by a fellow employee to back his political favorite with a contribution. These contributions range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, with workers urged to give at least two hours pay to support their political preferences. Board Chairman Dan A. Kimball, who inaugurated the project in 1958, and President William E. Zisch agree that this year's campaign should top all previous drives in percentage of employee participation and total funds raised, Kimball is a Democrat and Zischa Republican, and past results have indicated a fairly even party split of the employeedesignated funds
