"The announced goal of $1,163,-
102 for our 1967 United Fund Campaign represents a significant challenge to the citizens of the entire area
of Guilford County served by the 35
member agencies of the United Fund.
"The goal is based on a careful
study of the minimum needs of these
35 member agencies for 1967 operation and have been thoroughly reviewed by a broadly representative Budget
Committee composed of some 23
business and civic leaders. The work
of this budget committee is your best
assurance that the dollars asked for
are needed and will be spent for the
purposes requested.
"While the increase in dollars being
sought is substantial, we must emphasize the campaign this year includes
additional agencies. The Legal Aid
Foundation and the Salvation Army
and its Boys Club alone will require
some $94,000. But, we remind you
there will be two less independent
campaigns — two less appeals to you
— the citizens of our communities
for support. Thus, your United Fund
continues to fulfill one of its basic
purposes — that of reducing multiplicity of campaigns and providing
you the contributor with the opportunity for one-time giving. With your
one fair share pledge you can fulfill
your responsibility for support of a
total program of basic voluntary community services. In addition to new
agencies, there are the increasing demands on the member agencies for
program and services to a rapidly
growing and expanding area. We must
at least try to keep up as best we can
with this growth and these increasing
needs.
"The 1967 United Fund Campaign
presents us with an opportunity to
demonstrate our faith in ourselves.
The last two years, we have done this
in convincing fashion and I am sure
that all our citizens both corporate
and individual will provide proof again
that they do care — they are proud

Dr.   Curtis  P.   Artz
Speaker Chosen for Herman Cone Lecture
Dr. Curtis P. Artz, Professor and
Chairman of the Department of Surgery at the Medical College of South
Carolina, will speak on "Current Concepts in the Treatment of Shock" at
the annual Herman Cone Lecture.
The lecture, to be held on October
27, will be at 8:00 p.m. at the Greensboro Public Library Auditorium.
DR. CURTIS P. ARTZ
Dr. Artz is considered an expert in
the field of burns and the treatment
of shock. He believes that the burn
patient is "ideal" for study by a surgeon because, "A burn is the most
severe form of injury to which man is
liable and presents the surgeon with a
wide range of day-to-day complications and physiological changes. Experiences with burn patients can be
utilized in all general surgery patients."
Dr. Artz has a wide range of interests. He has written over 150 articles for scientific and medical journals,
contributed some sixteen chapters to
books, and authored four of his own
books. Perhaps, his most widely
known volumns are The Treatment of
Burns, published in 1957 and Surgical
Complications.
Dr. Artz received his B.A. and M.D.
degrees from Ohio State University
and his M.S. degree from Baylor University. He served a rotating internship in the Baltimore City Hospitals
and a three year surgical residency at
Ohio State University Hospital.
He served in the Army Medical
Corps from 1948 until a heart attack
forced his retirement in 1956. While
at Brooke Army Medical Center, San
Antonio, he developed the famous
U. S. Army Surgical Research Unit
and also directed a team in Korea
which studied the basic physiology of
burns.
Dr. Artz is deeply interested in
medical education and was Professor
of Surgery at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine and the
University of Texas Medical Branch.
In 1965, he assumed his present position as Professor of Surgery and
Chairman of the Department at the
Medical College of S. C.
His professional honors are numerous, and he is a member of some 22
professional organizations. He is currently serving as President of the
Southeastern Surgical Conference and
is a member of the Board of Governors of the American College of Surgeons.
Dr. Artz will be the third speaker
for the Herman Cone Lecture Series.
The Lecture is sponsored jointly by
the Board of Trustees and the Education and Program Committee of the
Medical and Dental Staff of which Dr.
Rufus Hambright is chairman. The
lecture was instituted in memory of
Mr. Herman Cone who was Vice-
President of the Moses Cone Hospital
Board of Trustees from 1918-1947
and President from 1947 until 1953.
He died in 1955. The first lecturer
was Dr. Dwight E. Harken of Harvard Medical School who spoke in
1964. Last year, the speaker was Dr.
Louis Weinstein, Professor of Medicine at Tufts Medical School.
