CHEST COLLECTS
ALL BUT S16,15
Poole Declares Record
of SO Per Cent Is One of
Best in Country.

Only $175ls595 of the million and q
half dollars subscribed to the Com
munity Chest for the year yet remains
to be collected the Federal-American
National Bank, treasurer of the chest,
announced through its president. John
Poole, in a statement made public
todaT.
Subscriptions for the year totaled
$l,4s7, 86626. Collections up to No
vember were 81 1871. Practical
" all that remains the Community
Chest expects to collect except where
collection would work a hardship. as in
the case of contributors who since sub
scribing have been impoverished by ILL
ness or DEATH
Collection Record Good.
'The Community Chest record Of 88
per cent collected in 10 months Is one
OF the best collection records of any
Community Chest in the country" said
Mr.. Poole. With the payments which
will be made during the last two months
of the year We expect to bring Wash
ington up to one of the highest COL
lection records of any Community
Chest In the country--a record match
ing the record of success in our first
campaign last January and which we
expect to equal in our campaign for
the year 1880. which will be held jan
uary 81 to February 5.
Every penny which has been sub
scribed will be needed. Appropriations
to member organizations have been
larger than had been anticipated be-
cause of emergencies which have de-
uykNf
could not be predicted with complete
accuracy when the budgets were first
made up In the Autumn of 1928. More
over, any balance available from actual
current expense needs will be required
to reduce as much as possible deficits
due to the inadequate financing of
member organizations in past years: so
that interest charges on borrowing
which were necessary for many of our
member organizations may be reduced
and the money which otherwise would
be spent in these charges released for
active service.
Chest Expenses Low.
Community Chest operating and
campaign expenses for the first 10
months of the year have been only 81
per cent of the amount subscribed
expenses, 5.370.45; subscriptions, ST.
4S1,Sb6.26. we nope TO De able 10 keep
the operating and campaign expense
very close to our estimate OF per
cent of the subscriptions, as compared
with from IS to 20 per cent, the aver
age cost of raising money for the So
member organizations before the Com
munity Chest was formed"
The interest of the Community Chest
in ex-service men in whose honor
Armistice day will be celebrated on No

which were mailed to 1852 subscribers
on November /. On these bills is
printed this statement: Freely they
