I have consulted with the Executive Committee of Central Washington County United Fund and have been instructed to inform the Court and counsel that United Fund does desire to participate in the settlement reached at the hearing. I believe that the United Fund will,upon receipt of its distributive share,deposit it in a reserve account to meet emergency needs of member agencies,all of which are deemed to be "worthy charitable organizations"within the meaning of that term as used in the Will of the late Emma L.Smith.

I hereby certify that in the event that I would be called as a witness in this proceeding,my testimony would be substantially this.I have known the Testatrix since May of 1966,at which time I prepared a deed for her for conveyance of property in the Borough of West Middletown.I did not draw the Will of the Testatrix nor did she ever discuss the same with me.On the few occasions that I met with the Testatrix,she never indicated to me the contents of her Will nor did she ever discuss with me her attitude or feelings toward any charitable organizations. I have talked with Donald Rush,Administrator c.t.a.of the Estate,and if Mr.Rush were called to testify at this Hearing,he would testify substantially as follows: He was appointed attorney for the Testatrix to sign the checks on her checking account in the Pittsburgh National Bank;that he acted in this capacity for approximately eight years prior to her death;that the Testatrix never discussed with him the terms of her Will nor did she ever discuss with him her attitude or feelings toward'any charibable organizations;that during the entire time that Mr.Rush acted as signatory on h~r checks,there were never any checks drawn to any charitable organizations.
