The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1918-02-01

As to the method of giving there
seem to be distinct advantages in favor
of the so-callcd war-chest" idea. IN
the first place, it does away with dupli
Gated effort. There is 50 great call
for war service of one kind and aDot}-
er nowadays that no one can be ac-
crSed of laziness who favors eliminat
ing all unnecessary work in connection
with any of it. Furthermore, it gives
everyone an opportunity to put his war
contributions on systematic basis, and
IN the case Of good many people sach
an opportunity Will enable them to olive
more generously than when they arc
called upon at various times for various
amounts. Still further, it makes pos
slble the most thorough sort of organ
lzatlon, thus distributing as widely Is
possible the burden of supporting the
work Of war relief. And finally. If
aceomplishes through one concerted eff
tort what otherwise would require re-
peated solicitation as long as the war
continues.

1t Is a good thing for all of us to
give some thought to the idea of put
ting Brattleboro s war contributions
on monthly pledge basis, because it
ls an idea that will be brought up for
public approval before long with a
view to forming an association 70 take
over this extremely important work.
Such an association, it is needless 70
say, must be thoroughly representative
and IN order that it be made 50 every
person III town should take an intelIi.
gent interest in its formation. The tima
IS past when people who claim to be
loyal Americans can question the neces.
sity of giving to recognized war relief
funds. Everybody must give; the only
question is as to the amount. and that
question should be settled not bv the
pre-war test of giving as much as pos
sible without feeling it but BY giving
until it hurts
