Chest Drive
Warming Up

The eleventh, annual campaign Of
the Omaha Community Chest will be
held from October 31st to November
9th, according to an announcement
made by w. f. Cozad, chairman Of
the 1933-34 campaign to raise funds
for the social welfare and relief
needs of Omaha.
Preliminary campaign group meet
ings have already started, Cozad said.
"The needs Of the 80 Community
Chest agencies will be as great du-
ring the next twelve months as they
have been during the past year."
said Cozad. "The fact must be en-
phasized that Federal Relief funds
are only available for relief of fam
lies suffering from unemployment.
These federal funds cannot be used
for cases Of dependency resulting
from illness, ~desertion, old age,
children without homes, community
health work, character building and
its Importance in keeping up comm
unity morale, and the many other OBJ
j~ectives Of a COMMUNICATIVE social
welfare program"
"The regular constructive work Of
the Community Chest and its many
agencies that was carried on before
the unemployment situation ever ex-
listed must be continued" Cozad add
ed. "There is a vital need for funds
to carry on this work"
"The Community Chest funds were
never adequate enough to carry the
great burden Of unemployment relief.
That is why Douglas County, through
Joint Emergency Service assisted in
this type Of relief work. The Federal
Government is not going to take over
the entire relief load Of Omaha. It
will depend, " elsewher, upon local
u to aid in family relief
