New York.-President Green, in
his first tour through the south in
the interests of the A. F. of L.
organization campaign there, is
making an unusually favorable
impression on conservative forces.
Both in Birmingham and Memphis
he was welcomed to the city by
mayors or the head of the city
council and in Memphis he was
the guest of business men at a
luncheon.
The press response, in the es-
timation of Paul Smith, head OF
the A. F. of L. southern organiza-
ton committee, has exceeded ex-
pectations. The Memphis Com
mercial Appeal, most influential
daily in its territory commended
Green in these terms: "The poll

second with $23,239,00O. Copra,
or cocoanut meat, was next with

How the Community Chest Helps
One of Series of Articles the Practical Benefits of
Cooperative Charity.
BY MRS. MARGARET FORD,

Executive Secretary, Travellers Aid Society
Of Washington, ID. Q.
Letters Of appreciation were sent re-
Gently to all those who asked the Com
munity Chest to give their contribu-
tons, or a part of them, to the Trav-
elers' Aid Society. 1t may be mag
ined, especially by those who lived
through the many years Of individual
drives, what real satisfaction was de-
rived from saying THANK you" in
stead Of please give"
When came to Washington three
years ago to take charge of the Trav-
elers' Aid Society, I was faced imme-
diately and for the first time in my
experience as a welfare executive with
the necessity for a drive for funds
My previous experience had been in
communities having community chests,
and was unprepared for the difference
the lack of one made in community.
Fortunately for me, and for the work,
the directors were familiar with money
raising methods-though thoroughly
tired of the job-and knew how to pro-
coed. That drive and the one the fol-
lowing year, with the constant and ex-
penslve follow-up work necessary to OBJ
tain the required budget, are experiences
I am glad to forget.
However, the elimination of this par
ticular phase of the work is but one
Of the many reasons why /, as an
executive, am thankful for the existence
Of Community Chest In washington.
In addition to bringing about an eco
nomical method Of raising the funds
and of saving the contributors the
everlasting appeals, 1t has given execu-
tives an opportunity to concentrate on
the social problems of their organiza-
tons and to learn more about other
welfare agencies in the community.
Also, through the various clubs and
committees of the Community Chest,
the directors, executives and STATS of
all agencies are becoming acquainted,
not only with each other, but with the
