APPROVE EARLY CLOSING
Greek Citizens Say ClOe's Suggest on
 To Prevent Attacks Is Right Idea

George Martzekos and George Lekos, Greek citizens of Birming- ham, say the advice of Commissioner W. B. Cloe that keepers of small shops in suburban and obscure neigh borhoods would do well to close earlier, allow less liberties in the stores and bank their money earlier in the day, has been much discussed by the foreign born population and is concurred in by nearly all.
 Following the last ax murder, Com missioner Cloe, through the news papers, advised the newcomers and foreigners to offer less inducement to thugs by keeping strangers from go- ing behind the counters, letting it be seen that their cash takings are sent early to the bank and, above all, that they close their stores early.
 Neglect of these precautions, MT. Cloe said, constitute the lure of the murderous thieves who have at- tackled nearly a score of these shop keepers in the past three years, kill ing most of them, women as well as men.
 The foreign population has 'been seriously discussing the commission CTS advice and, it is said, many are preparing to modify their former ways of doing business along per sOnal safety lines,

tFRYE NAMED HEAD. . OF SCHOOL GROUP
Banker Made Responsible For Interesting School Children
 In>Community Chest

John II. Frye has been appointed chairman of special committee which will devise ways and means of interesting the public school chtl- ,dren of Birmingham in the Com munity Chest campaign, which be- gins December 8, according to an .nouncement Monday of Carson Adams, campaign chairman, at luncheon attended by representatives, of civic organizations, Community Chest directors and officers. Mem bers of Mir Frye's committee are: Mrs. Joseph McLester, P. Y. whitman and w. D. Mitchell.
 Plans were laid at Mondays luncheon for participation in the campaign of practically every civic body in Birmingham. Enthusiastic response met the announcement of Community Chest officers regarding details of the program, which pro- vides for the consolidation of some 32 campaigns for 32 charitable insti- tutfons and welfare agencies into one campaign, to be conducted once each year with the united weight of the community behind it.
 W. V. M Robertson, IT,, chairman of the Community club committee, which originally advanced the Com munity Chest plan for Birmingham and made the preliminary investiga- ton of it's workings in other cities. reviewed the various steps by which the Community Chest movement has progressed since it's inception to the present date. He pointed out that 175 civic organizations and philan- thropies had elected by ballot the present directing board of 24 men and women, eight of whom will serve for three years, eight for two years n nd oh nTln
 Adams Explains Plan
 Carson Adams, campaign chairman, pointed out that the Community Chest idea was not new one, that the plan was now successfully operated nati, O., was now preparing for it's ninth consecutive campaign. The Community Chest movement, he said, was revival of the united war drive of 1918, when all forces pooled their resources in one concerted campaign on behalf of all war activities. He rredicted that the same spirit of CO., operation would be manifested in the present effort and declared he felt no apprehension as to Birmingham's response.
 Crawford Johnson, president of the permanent Community Chest organi- zation, outlined a plan for the par ticipation of civic bodies in the active work of solicitation. Approval was voiced by representatives of several organizations.
 Oscar Wells declared that he had at first viewed with some misgivings the Community Chest plan, and had written to a dozen bankers in diff ferent cities to ascertain their atti- tude toward it. Approval was so unanimous and the reasons assigned so convincing that his early objec- tions had been dissipated, he said.
 He pointed out that the Community Chest plan saved time to workers by uniting many drives in one and per- mitted welfare agencies to give all their time to welfare work instead of part of it to money solicitation that the territory could be more thor oughly covered by placing one large force in the field; and that a stand ardization of activity among welfare agencies followed the adoption of the plan.
