THE SHRHVA1
OF BLACK PEOPLE ?
THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND
55 East 52nd Street, New York, New York 10022
Please enroll my family as a member of the 1-10-75 Club because I have a vital
interest in the higher education of 200,000 students over the next four years.

Zip Code.
Enclosed is a check for:
□ 1 year $10 □ 2 years $20 □ 3 years $30 □ 4 years $40
A membership certificate will be issued to those who contribute $10 or more.
It’s a tough world without an education.
Society changes so rapidly that a handi
capped group without it falls even further
behind the rest of the population. You can
help guarantee that future generations of
blacks will not be lost from the main
stream of opportunity in this country by
joining the 1-10-75 Club. When one mil
lion people give a minimum of $10 per
year over the next four years, they will be
providing the economic, social and moral
strength necessary for the survival of
the black community and this nation.
Remember, we can’t permit the lives of
our black youth to prolong a pattern of
rejection, despair and hopelessness. If we
do, the gradual suffocation of the black
community cannot be far behind.
Give today.
Our survival depends on it.
A MIND IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE.

results will not be achieved if
we are simply the consumers
of the services that the cable

we are the owners of a pro
