Bridgeport continued to pour dollars
 into its first Community Chest yes- tterday, sending the total of its cam
 paign to date to s1O6.059. The goal sought is S475. 1000.
 Today the workers are Bending every effort to a speeding up of the campaign Yesterday the total was
 s44.57S, and they hope to surpass opening day at their luncheon at The
 Sratfield today. With only four
 days to go and more than S360,00O to
 raise there must be a quicker re-
 sponse.- Saturday is the final day of
 the campaign.
 One of the encouraging signs of the reports made by the various team captains yesterday was the appear
 ance of increased subscriptions
 given to the Sz75,oO0 fund are amending their contributions. This
 is due to the realization that the campaign represents many causes = the twenty agency members of the RCampaign leaders are emphasizinS the fact that subscriptions should be
 made to cover the entire list or
 causes represented in the united ap- peal.
 | The campaign leaders urge that It be remembered that the campaign really represents more than a year 8
 charity. The average would perhaps
 be about a year and third. These
 agencies postponed individual cam paigns in order to unite in the Com
 munity Chest. One of the organiza-
 lions, for instance, the Y. M. c. A. is seeking budget for 23 months, having called off it's proposed cam paign last November to wait for the
 chest
 The budgets are for a fiscal year April, 1921-1922 and it was neces- sary to make the fiscal years of the various organizations conform. This was done however through the dili- gent work of the Budget Committee composed of Sumner Simpson, H. Alnon Chaffee, Thomas M. Culltnan, Justice George W. Wheeler and L. T. Warner and the budgets represent their careful decisions.
 The keen rivalry between the two divisions again was evident at yester- days luncheon. Norman Leeds, cam paign chairman, turned the meeting over to Sumner Simpson after the Rev. Henry D. Kelly had delivered the opening prayer. MT. Simpson called upon the divisional leaders for their reports and immediately the spirit of friendly conflict showed it. self.
