YOUR SHARE IS FAIR.


great public work for the great common good
and that the share that you will be asked to
pay for this great work is your fair. share.
"Supposing nobody cared" is slogan for
you and for me with the understanding that
all of us care but we want to get the best way
of caring. The best way for any community
to show it's united interest in the big move
ment of supporting it's charities and philan-
tropics is through organization.
We all want to Danish suffering of women
and children; we all want to get real support
behind organizations which render real serv-
ice we all want to point the way for men and
women to break the chains of poverty and put
on the garment of self-support; we all want
to have the boys and girls of Kenosha have the
same chances that boys and girls in other
cities have.
We all want to have the pride of saying:
'This is my work and / am doing my fair
share of it, / am not Stacker when it comes
to doing my fair share of the work which the
community in which I live does"
We all want to know that Kenosha is going
to have community care for those who need it
with the idea that every one in the commun-
ity is going to have a. heart-interest in the
work We want it to be understood that we
are none Of us Sinking the privilege and the
obligation of citizenship
We want to get away from the old waste
full way Of doing things and get into the or
gained intelligent way. We want the man
who works at the BENCH the woman whose
nimble fingers make the typewriter speak, and
the man whose money makes work for all of
us to get into great partnership for the COM
munity good.
Other cities have tried the community chest
plan and the record of these cities leaves no
chance for an argument against it. It's the
right plan for the proper care of the poor;
it's the right plan for the elimination of pow
erty and the enhancement of self-respect and
self-supbort and its the right plan to divide
the obligation among all of us.
The Community Chest does not seek to hit
any one hard" 1t is the softening way of do
ing real work in a real way without making
it hurt
Pennies grow rapidly into dollars when
there is a steady stream of them pouring in.
Pennies made to work intelligently can do
great work. It's a real satisfaction for you
and me to know that we can be partners in
this work. If you get into this organization
there is going to come to you the real satisfac-
ton of knowing that you are doing your part
just the same as any other person in Kenosha.
The membership in the Community Chest as
( ISOLATION is going to be the hallmark of hon
est citizenship in Kenosha.
We are all citizens of mo mean city, and
to make that city better and greater there
must be. that common interest in the great
work that must be done. 1t is not all philan-
thropy for the operation of this great organic
ed way of doing things better is going to take
away that continued drain on the pocketbooks
and the homes, which follows in the wake Of
oLo 10 H. H.
away with the continued claims of this or
ganization and that and put in place of them
an assured support which will make these or
CARNATIONS better able to work for the COM
munity.
The plan is going to make these organza-
tons better for the use of you and your fam
lily. 1t is going to make possible better or
CARNATIONS for the betterment of your boy
4 and your girl. 1t is going to bring a con1mun-
ity uplift that comes along with the idea that
there is united community action.
There isn't single selfish feature in this
plan to organize Kenosha for the betterment
of the community. No high salaried officials
. are going to take your money and spend it for
selfish agrSndizement but the men who man
age this fund are going to give their money
along with their ability for organization and
management and|they are going to consider it
Inelf Common privilege 10 JOIN with you in
being partners all in great work
Certainly no man who cares for his fellow
man or who looks to the betterment of his
own home city can hesitate for a minute to be
part Of this great work. Just a little from all
of us will mean great fund which will prop
erly serve all of us and serve us better than
we have ever been served before.
Get your mind made up that you will be
the first to get your name on the dotted line
of community interest.
