Citing several instances OF acute SUI

during the pest year, Mr.. Noyes urged
The workers to bring these facts about
the problems, with which Chest organ
isations are faced daily, graphically be-
fore potential subscribers to the Chest,

strace phrases Of suffering and distress

over by Carence A. AspinUaL, chair
man.
Quoting from President-elect Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, who is nephew OF
Frederic A. Delano, first president OF
the Washington Community Chest, Mr..
AspinWall said the President-elect has
joined in the welfare and Relief moDl-
lization of 1882 to the extent OF making
q talk about it over the radio during his
busy campaign days. Mr.. Roosevelt,
in that speech, sid, in part:
4 want TO tell you definitely and
clearly that it would be nothing short
OF calamity to have private SOCIAL and
relief work collapse at this time.
The splendid task Of private social
and charity agencies must not only be
kept up to its highest previous standard,
but must be increased during the
months to come I do not use the
weasel words ought to be- I use the
strong word must
II ask a definite self-denial on the
part of those who have more than the
actual necessities Of life, to share an
even greater part of their means with
those who so greatly need 1t today
Urges Self denial
I'VE know what self-denial is in time
OF the emergency Of war. / ask the
same seh-denial in time of an emer-
gency that is equally national and
equally dangerous to our future ex-
istence. Let us have the satisfaction in
the years to come Of knowing that we
have done our bit when the pinch was
hardest.
Let us realize that in this way we
can show our greatest patriot.Snl-that
In this way W. are saving TO-DAY, ana
saving tomorrow as well"
MI AspinWall also drew from the re-
marks of President Hoover's recent mes
sage to Government departments here,
quoting:
Il strongly request your active aid
and support in the coming campaign

the National Capital face is the greatest
in the history of this city. The burden
on the welfare and relief organizations
which have united their efforts through
the Community Chest is, therefore, the
heaviest in their experience.
These agencies bear the burden nor

plus the additional burdc,. created by
