lively, if not more so, in few weeks
at the outside.
Furthermore, the War Chest idea by
reason of its monthly pledge enables
people To plan their war contributions
far enough in advance so that by lit
tie sef-saeriiice they can contribute
more than otherwise would be possible.
And the idea of pooling all contributions
in general fund from which suitable
appropriations for various causes are
made not only insures fair treatment for
every worthy call but encourages TO be-
come regular subscribers people who
might hesitate to give to individual char
tiles for fear that the little they could
afford would be considered too little.
Still further, the War Chest idea
should appeal to every patriotic person
in Brattleboro if for no other reason
than that it will insure an adequate
sum each month for the needs of the
local Red Cross chapter The town takes
Just pride in the amount and quality OF
the work which the patriotic women
who make up this organization are do
ing and il is too much to expect that
these women shall be burdened with the
task OF providing funds in addition to
the task of maintaining production.
Thus far Brattleboro has been "over
the top" on every call that the war has
made upon it. We have furnished mate
rial, we have furnished money and
most important of alive have fur
nished men, young men, ready to give
their lives for the integrity of the ma
tion Certainly it behooves those OF us
who are at home to provide these men
with every encouragement that they
need.
And the War Chest idea seems TO be
the most certain and the most efficient
plan Of making these vital provisions

Brattleboro's War Chest

IL Is needless, perhaps, for The Re,
former to say that it is strongly in sym.
pathy with the war chest idea and i
ready to do all within its power TO push
the plan to successful conclusion in
Brattleboro But il may not be tmtime.
/ ly Tor US to state some of the reasons
why we favor raising in this town by a
| system of monthly pledges fund large
| enough to meet every demand that may
be made for money for relief work grow
ing out of the war during the coming
| year.
In the first place, we believe that it
will be of general advantage to have
all solicitation for war relief funds done
at one zine. Under ordinary circum-
stances it might be said that the patriot
ism aroused by series of drives"
throughout the year was too valuable
to be lost. But IN view ofs the many
other calls, for work as well as money,
that the war has put upon us it seems
reasonable to contend that the provision
of war relief funds should be made with
the least possible duplication of effort
and the least possible expenditure of I'M
necessary effort. As far as patriotism is
concerned, every person who enlists in
the War Chest association will be re-
minded at regular intervals throughout
the year of his obligation to do his share
because he will be meeting that obliga-
ton at regular intervals.
1t may be said further along this line
that the work of handling compaigns
such as have taken place in Brattleboro
during the past year, and would have
TO take place throughout the next year
were it not for the War Chest plan,
falls in large measure upon compare
lively few persons. 1t is too much to
ask these persons to make year-round
task of what can be done just as effec-
