FIRST DONOR TO

Subscribes $40 to Com.

Rivefview township, was the first
donor to the fund that will be raised
that deserving welfare organizations
may continue their good deeds.
although ! am not resident OF
Bismarck, ! am heart and soul in
favor of the Community Chest. Per-
haps my little bit will help makee 1.-THE
campaign a success"
This is what Mr.. Bourgeois said to
G.. l.. Spear, a member of the cam.
paign committee, today as he handed
him a crisp ten dollar bank note.
The campaign will be officially
launched Thursday morning, Dec. 8,
and it is the expectation of the drive
committee that the quota will be
raised by Friday evening, when the
campaign has been scheduled to
close.
That farmer has set an example
for the citizens of Bismarck has
elated the chest officers. It brings
the spirit Of Christmas a little bit
closer to the hearts of those who
would bring Christmas happiness
and cheer during 1928 to all who are
depending upon the Community
Chest.
Contributions received early will
be most helpful, chest officials said

task is made just that much the
easier and provides for a more thor
