The opening Of the Community Chest
campaign November 20 will send out
through the city more than 5000 volun-
teer workers. including 120 speakers who
will ask Washington citizens to assist
their less fortunate fellows.
Every one OF the workers, Frank J.
Hogan, campaign chairman. pointed out
last night, contributes financially to the
support of the Chest well as giving
freely of time and energy.
Pleading for utmost consideration OF
these volunteer workers, Mr.. Hogan re-
called that the workers will operate in
their own communities so that requests
for contributions will come for the most
part, from friends and neighbors.
Are Workers. Not Statesmen.
These volunteers are not statesmen
striving to sell some article OF mer-
chandise," Mr. Hogan said. They are
earnest. sincere people who realize the
wonderful program of welfare work ac-
complished by the Community Chest
agencies and who are anxious to pre-
sent to their friends and neighbors an
opportunity to have a part in that WORK
which they themselves know does SO
much good.
Every one of these workers has the
courage Of his own convictions. Each
has subscribed literally to the fund Tor
support of Chest agencies. This Is IN
addition to the long. long hours OF
valuable time that they devote to TINS
cause, and going even further than
that most of them contribute additional
sums for the meals which are neces-
sary part Of their report luncheonS."
