Speaker From Community
Chest Makes Plea for
Larger Budget.

A resolution introduced by Frank p.
Leetch indorsing the action of the
American Civic Association in its cam
paign for the Identification of highways
in and about Washington was unani-
mously adopted by the Georgetown Citi-
zehs Association last night, meeting in
st. Johns Parish Hall.
Herbert Willet, jr., of the Community
Chest delivered a short address before
the association in which he stated that
this year larger appropriations would be
asked because Of the great necessity for
charity brought about by the unemploy-
ment situation. Mr.. Willet further
stated that the people knew very little
about the actual work done by the Com
munity Chest and he hoped that they
would become better acquainted by his
visits to local citizens associations.
Home Fund Increased.
An appropriation of SIS was voted for
the Aged Women'S Home this year in
stead of the customary $50. Mr.. Leetch,
who introduced the resolution, pointed
out that the sum which was used to
maintain the home was not SUFFICIENT
and that many times 1t was necessary
for wives to visit the home and help out
In business matters to assure the homes
existence
