Kennedy has turned down a bid by the school board to have grass cut on separate school properties. In a letter that was marked received and filed, Mr, Ken- nedy said: "We do not have suf- |ficient equipment to cut any }more than our own parks, "Also, during the summer months when the staff is rotat- ing for vacations it is difficult for us to keep sufficient staff to maintain our parks at the standard that we desire." the pledges to Mr. Wilson te y. "The pace of the drive fs similar to that of 1963," said Mr. Kelly, "When one considers the $475,000 raised in the three- ear GM _ payroll deduction litz started in 1963, then it means that this one (current blitz) is just as successful be- cause it is only spread over a year." Money raised from GM em- ployees in the old cam now over, was just a of what went into a fund to construct Civic Auditorium. Byron Edmondston, manager of personnel service at General Motors, has pegged payroll de- duction at GM in this campaign at $165,000.
