The Community Chest campaign
went over the million dollar mark to-
day. with the soliciting army of 5000
volunteers presenting an over-the-week-
end report of 800 760.
The official grand total announced
at the CONCLUSION Of today'S report
meeting at the Willard Hotel was ST.
O42,6 Campaign Chairman Frank
J. Hogan announced this sum will take
care Of the needs of the 90 Chest agen-
cieS only through July II next.
Commends Solicitors.
Newbold Noyes, president of the
Community Chest, who had been pre-
vented from attending previous cam
palgn luncheons because of illness,
commended the solicitors for their in
tenSlve devotion to duty in the face Of
this years campaign difficulties.
If the drive fails to attain the goal
of 81 100000 during the three remain
ing days OF the campaign, Mr.. Moves
said, it will not be because of the fail
ure of the canvasSerS to do a thorough
Job. If the workers sometimes feel dis
couraged over the tagging returns, he
said, tney should turn their thoughts
TO the tremendous service they are rem
dering to the entire community.
If you will continue to work through
to the end with the same faithfulress
and thoroughness that you have mani
tested SO far" Mr.. Moves said. ANY
failure Of the campaign will lie with
the city as a whole. not with you"

Asks InstalIment Pledges
Chairman Hogan pointed out that
larger mstallment pledges instead of
lesser cash gifts would aid materially
in putting the drive across the goal lino
by Wednesday-last day of the cam
paign.
Strange as it seems" he said I'VE
are getting too much cash and not
sufficiently large pledges. Our task is
to bring home to the contributor the
fact that he is giving not to one organ
ization but to a group of so individual
agencies. Each of these, but for the
Community Chest, would be knocking
at his door some time during the year
with a request for help.
If contributors will Just realize they
are giving TO so organizations and that
their pledge is payable throughout the
year I am sure We can get more and
larger contributions.
Need Is Undoubted.
Nobody can doubt the need that ex-
lists. Our orphanages. our hospitals,
our homes for the aged. our INDECENT
sick and crippled and our families who
are outside the pale Of Government re-
lief are all eloquent arguments as to
why the Chest goal must be reached.
Our failure to keep pace with last
year means only one thing. The people
of Washington have not been awakened
to the real need that exists and if We
can get before them in no uncertain
terms the necessity for the work of the
Community Chest agencies I am certain
Washington will respond"
