committee in the remarkable record| of other cities in which the com- munity chest idea has become sol firmly implanted that the citizenship of those cities will be content with nothing else. It Is pointed out that in Cleveland, in 1921, 99M cents out of every dollar contributed reach ed the organization for which 1t was in j tended.
 Letters sent by the committee to citizens in various localities which have community chests, elicited such general appreciation as to leave no doubt in the committees mind re- garding public sentiment in cities where the community chest plan has had a fair trial.
 .'In former years" wrote one prom. inent Cleveland citizen. we were held up along streets, in hotels and theatres, and tagged, tagged. tagged, until we felt we were on a merry go-round of human ills and woes. Fancy 110 local agencies in Cleveland having a tag day every time they needed money to defray expenses! It sounds ludicrous as we look back lands history. Now this Is all changed. Cleveland Is behind the Community Chest 100 per cent. Every other city would be that gave the plan a fair and impartial trial. We congratulate Birmingham on under taking a community chest campaign and extend our best wishes for it's successful outcome"
 Business leaders who are making the sacrifice of time and energy to insure the success of Birmingham in- itial effort are. pledged to give whatever work may be necessary to insure success of the campaign.

Open House Planned By Dairy
 All Day Sunday And Monday

Open house will be kept Sunday and Monday from 10 o'clock in the morning until g o'clock in the eve ming by the Jefferson Dairy com pany, which has Invited the public to inspect the big s1SO,0O0 plant that 127 farmers of the Birmingham vicin- ity got together and put up.
 Started last spring and set in operation a month ago, the great dis tributing dairy, located at Seventh avenue and Twenty streets, two blocks from the Terminal sta tion, has come forward with a rush in the 30 days 1t has been in opera tion, requiring two big White trucks and 27 horsedrawn vehicles to de- liver its daily output of milk, cream, butter. buttermilk, Bulgarzoon. cot tage cheese and other specialties.
 Already the volume of business has grown to more than 2,000 gallons of milk alone, to say nothing of the output in dairy by-products.
 W. H. Barber, business manager, and the score or more of people em- ployed in the plant. are as proud of 1t as if 1t were a personal possession. Every scrap of equipment is the latest model and best that money could buy, the dairy having the dis tinction of saying that from the de- livery of the raw milk, fresh from the farms, 1t is not only untouched by hand. but not exposed to air from entrance into the dairy until the cus- toner who buys the milk opens the bottle. Even the sterilized paste board caps. in sealed packages. are clamped in the bottles by shiny sterilized machinery.
 Ut is not the picturesque cow grazing by the brook beside the old apple tree" MT. Barber said, Satur- day, from which safe and pure milk is had these days, but the scientists and doctors affirm 1t Is the sterilized plant putting out pasteurized milk

 No Exposure Of Milk
 From delivery at the doors, and every door is equipped with a fly re- polling electric fan, on it's journey through the plant, the milk Is not exposed or touched. All work of pas teurizing, distributing. separating and filling is done by machinery.
 One piece of mechanism that gets the milk after 1t is tested, inspected and finally passed on by health de- partment officials handles 1000 gal Ions in ninety minutes. filling a vat IS feet long, eight feet wide and five feet deep.
 It was interesting to note the cream line on the bottles of pasteur- ized milk down to the shoulder" of the bottle the cream was plainly marked. Tasting failed to reveal the slightest suggestion of unusual taste. Pasteurzation under modern condi- ditions, MT. Barber explained, has eliminated the taste which was mo- ticeable some years ago when older pasteuization methods were in use.
 Every piece of mechanism in the plant, after each use, all bottles, cans and other equipment are subjected to baths in superheated steam. Scala ing water is turned on the floors, and the pipes through which the milk is pumped are demounted from all ap- paratus and scalded after the milk has been run trough them each day Officials of the city and county health department, including pr. J. D. Bowling and L. c. Bulmer, both of them sticklers for high efficiency and sanitation in the handling of milk, say thene is nothing to be ad- ded to the system of the Jefferson Dairy company to make the handling of the product more safe for public use.
 At the house warming Sunday and Monday sampling vii be in order the Monday sampling will be in order, tie product tidbits for the householders who come to inspect the plant.

Community Chest Plans To Stop
 Campaigns All Through Year

Community Chest campaigns, sue cessfully conducted in dozen Of the leading cities. have furnished the background for the campaign which will be launched in Birmingham with the united weight of practically ev- cry interest in the city back of It.. Thirty-two charitable and welfare in- stitutions, doing every kind of re- lief work among the needy and un- fortunate, the young and aged. are expected to be beneficiaries of the fund which will be raised In the coming drive.
 Instead of 32 campaigns conducted 32 times year, with tag days, ba- zars, personal solicitation for this and that charity, there will be in the future for these 32 institutions but one big campaign each year, cam paign designed to raise a definite budget predicated on the needs of these 32 institutions as determined by their past expenditures and serv- ice they are rendering. In other words instead of the hit and miss plan of charitable administration which has been the practice in Birmingham in former years, there will be well co ordinanted plan of solicitation and administration, which will be sup ported by united citizenship. Plans efforts and the wasteful duplication of activity. The whole community will share the responsibility. In the approaching drive. every man, and woman in the city will be asked to give their part, share based on their earning power. Those who give will do so in the knowledge that they are ono of thousands who are ac- cepting the same responsibility for the needy. who through misfortune of birth or circumstances are unable to bear their share of the worlds burdens.
 Those at the head of the Com munity Chest campaign in Birming- ham are pointing out that this re- sponsibility in every community gravitates toward those whose shoul- ders are strong. whose hearts are whole and whose heads are clear, that 1t Is a responsibility which can not be denied or evaded. If society is to progress. They are confident that Birmingham will meet the test.
