mh/Ln Mylos Horton HIGHLANDER FOLK SCG.4IOOL MONTEAGLE, TENNESSEE <-> VAST Dear Friend; Highlander is celebrating its tenth anniversary with an en- larged program geared to the new problems growing out of the war. The demands for our sorvices are greater than at any other time in our history. The effectiveness with which we meet these urgent domands depends upon you. The school has an exporioncad staff and the active cooperation of an axecutive council composed of representatives of all branches of organized labor. We have a plant and 200 acres of land free from indebtedness. Tho expenditures for running the school have never exceeded our income, although last year it was necessary to use up our email reserve to balance the budget. Thies means that we must find now contributors in 1942 even to raise the equivalent of lost year's income. Yet we need to enlarge our budget to moct the increased demands for our sorvices. The future of the school is bright. Friends of Highlander are rallying to our support, as can be seen by the enclosed press clippings on the Robeson concert in Washington. There is e speciol reason for urging you to help us at this time. Jim Dombrowski, who has boen in charge of fund roising for the last eight years, has been given a year's leave of absonce to sorve as secretary for the Southern Conference for Human Welforo, which is doing o very important job in the South. Wo know that you would rather have the Highlander stoff sponding its time in carrying out the school's program than in raising the budget. Accordingly, there are two ways in which you can be of groat help: first, by making 0 special contribution imme- diately of at least $1.00; second, by sonding us ao list of names ~— of people who might contribute, and telling us if wo my use your mame in asking for contributions. Sincoroly. yours,
