COMMUNITY CHEST
FUND IS REALIZED
$3.50 Budget Over-Sub-
scribed by $50 in Final
Figures Reported

After a determined effort to that
end, the goal of the first Vance Coun-
ty Community Chest has been reach
ed and the amount has rseen slightly
over-subscribed, it was said today by
Sam Afford, secretary and treasurer
Of the fund. The mark set was SIS $50
and newest tabulations show a total
of of $1,000, he said.
Delay in reaching the full quota was
occasioned by the necessity of some
contributors . hearing from outside
home offices. The largest single con-
tribution reported to the amount was
$3.50 underwritten by the County OF
Vance.
Eight different causes, besides tn
allotment for overhead expenses, will
share in the distribution of the fund
first disbursements from which have
already been made. Mr.. Afford said
payments would ice made to all agen-
cies quarterly, and that each would
receive one-fourth of the allotment. If
there is a shrinkage that cuts the
fund down in the end, the short pay
ments necessitated as a result Of that
will come in the last distribution.
The secretary said that approximate
ly go percent of the total amount had
been paid in cash at or about the time
the gift was made, and he believed
most of the remainder would be good

The ministers appealed to any one
having knowledge of the property to
report it to Rev. T. J. Whitehead, pas
