almost insuperable makes this, for me,
a great age to live in. 1 thank my
God l have been spared to live in this
age, to see the spirit with which men
are fighting the adyersities of life and
to see men emerge courageous and VIC

The Job at hand calls for "consecra-
ton Of hearts, minds and spirits Mr..
Moves told the group.
Then" he said, I'VE cannot fail and
We will not fail. We must impress upon
the people who can give that they must
not pinch their gifts, that they must
multiply those gifts.
ii we don't perform the task that is
before us l hesitate to say what will
happen to us. But I know that if We
don't GET the Community Chest over
this year We VIII have on our hands a
group of sullcn, demoraIzed and pau
porized citizens whose mood will be
ugly
Campaign Is Noble Task.
Justice ODonOghue pointed TO the
Community Chest campaign as a noble
task"
1t may be colossal one. too" he
said. but never before has there been
such need of doing a task such as this
and doing it well Millions are in want
and desperate throughout the country.
Thousands are in dire need right here
in Washington. But those are Just fig
ureS. You must get the picture The
terrific crash has brought the American
people down TO their knees. It is the
worst calamity that has ever befallen
them. You must go forth united, to save
suffering humanity. Let the word fail
ure be foreign 10 your minds-yol must
succeed"
Mr.. Street declared that a great deal
depends on tie Metropolitan Unit.
which this year, as in past years, has
the lob Of reaching into every nook
and Granny Of the Capital to seek out
those who want to help IN the Chests
work.
He also explained the new system of
solicitation, paying tribute to Mrs.
Charles A. Goldsmith. w,o worked out
the cents a day plan of giving.
Many Willing to Give
There are many" he said, who
would give a luncheon a day to a friend
in need There are others who would
Jump at the chance to give a quart
of milk a day to some child in need
Of the milk S nOurishmeDt. There are
still others who would not miss the
money if they gave the cost OF a pack
of cigarettes a day. Yet If you total 1t
up you Will find that W such giving
the people Of WashingtsM will be per-
forming a real service tO@ard saving the
distressed humanity Of the Capital dur
ing the coming year.
Understand. too. that every cent
given to the Chest is spent right here
in Washington by the So Chest or
CARNATIONS"
NJ. Graham in brief talk, con-
graduated the unit on the large turn
out. which overhoWed into the halls
and balconies Of the ball room OF the
MayfoNCr He pointed to the Chest
as the most economical agency Tor
doing the welfare and relief work OF
the city. ana declared;
Before we had the Chest We had
as many campaigns az We had or2anl-
cations. The business men we're being
constantly pestared With requests tCr
money for this and that. And there
were always tickets TO buy. Now, there
is a business administration when
costs only a fraction CT what the ad-
mini=trat;on Of charities cost before
the Chest came.
Gives All Opportunity.
THE lob Of this unit is to see that
every person in washington has an
opportuniav to answer the appeal OF
humanity by a gift TO the Community
Chest this year" Mr.. Rust said. We
are going to conduct a hOuSe-to-hOlse
of1ce-tO-0ffice. aDarament-tO-ap apartment
and stOre-tO-StOre campaign. taxing
particular pains to see every person III
eyerv establishment visited. We are
using the how many pennies day
plan and we intend to solicit, not only
The heads of the household, but any
household employees or members OF the
family at any particular address, be-
cause we fee! that anybody, man.
woman or child, who has any KIND OF
a lob Or home or income can AFFORD
40 give at least one penny a Gay 1or
the aid Of the Thousands who nave an
solutely nothing. :, 49,,
We are greatly encouraged by the
large number Of people who have VoIun-
taorcd to give up their time TO the cam
paipn this wear. We feel that we lace
difficult task. but on the other hand. we
have twice as many people to handIe
that task as we had last year, We nave
for the most part a veteran organization
made up of workers who have peen Oh
the firing line in previous campaigns
we are better organized than ever pc
fore; and we have the best campalgh
organization background from the
standpoint of advance publicity in the
history of the Washington Community
Chest.
I personally believe that the citizenry
of WASHINGTON is thoroughly aroused to
the deSpe.a.o need that COn+rontS the
CITY this year. and l believe that cur
citizenship will respond to that need
through the Community Chest.
The fate Of the Metropolitan Unit Is
in YOUR hands Its success will be
measured by the number Of dollars 1t
brings in during the campaign and that
number depends entirely on your loyal,
answering devotion to a cause that we
can readily believe is holy
The meeting concluded with the show
inc of the Community Chest picture,
The Inner Voice.
