question and-ansWer booklet, the

Bureau will meet for the last time
tonight before beginning their in
tensive series OF campaign talks.
The meeting is called for $50 pm.
In the E Street Y. w. C. A.

tions most frequently asked at the
meetings they address and will be
instructed on answers as outlined In
Information Please"
Among the questions listed in the
leaflet are Does anyone actually
spend their money!" and "Why are
suburban agencies in the Chest?"
To the first question the answer,
as revealed in the leaflet, explains
that each agency has q volunteer
board of responsible citizens who ask
the Chest for an ltemiZed budget
The Budget Committee of the Chest,
it is explained, studies and compares
the budget requests and apportions
money for the necessary expendi-
lures. Then, during the year, it
confers with the agencies, studies
the monthly reports of expenditures
and makes necessary adjustments.
Inclusion of Suburbs.
AS to the inclusion of suburban
agencies in the Chest, the leaf1et
answers with this explanation:
Disease, crime, social ills and
social needs do not pay any atten-
tion to political boundaries. All
greater Washington is inter-related
by the fact that so many thousands
of its people work in the District,
but live outside. So it is wise to
join forces as fully as possible in
protecting all the people from the
problems that are largely common
to us all"

teers will be get-together of area
