 s"We are all set and ready to go," said Alfred NJ.

 To Lead Women Workers
 Mrs. G. M. Lathem, whose work as head of the women's organization of the Community Chest last year, proved so successful, has been persuaded by the leaders of the second annual appeal to again assume the leadership of the women workers in this years appeal, according to announcement Saturday by Alfred Nj. Shook, Jr., chairman of the second annual appeal activities.
 Donald Conner, vice president of the Avondale Mills, chairman of the board of stewards of the First Methodist church and one of the leading men of Birmingham in civic and business af- fairs, is also a great enthusiast for the cause of the Community Chest. Just what it means is expressed 'by MT. Conner in the following statement.
 Most of the troubles of this world come because people do not know each other. When soldiers stand side by side in the trenches, enlisted in a fight for the right, friendships form without re- gard to class, creed or race, and so when all the people of community la- bor shoulder to shoulder for the com mon cause of helping to bear and share each others burdens, there comes a new understanding. The spirit of love and toleration crowd out selfishness and misunderstanding.
 "This is one reason why l favor a Community Chest filled with commun- ity dollars secured by community ef- forts for the care of our community problems
 Ministers of practically every de- nomination of Birmingham have agreed to devote a part of their sermon Sun day, as we'll as the next Sunday, to the cause of the Community Chest, and in some of the churches the cause will be presented by one of the fOur-minute speakers making up the committee of which Dr. Percy H. Woodall is chair man.
