D Junior Leaguers
Work S-Hour Days
For Chest Drive
Their Teams Developed
Block Book System.
To Insure Coveroge

If you drop into the Office of the
Junior League any afternoon
around 4 o'clock you're likely to
find the young women chatting over
the teacups.
You'd think it was just another
tea party unless you listened to
their talk Instead of clothes and
men and baby's formula these
Junior Leaguers are talking about
quotas, about bookkeeping, about
the best approach to a prospect.
For eight hours they have
tramped the streets, rung doorbells,
ventured into all kinds of homes
Now they have reports to make to
their team captains.
That's the daily routine of 79
members of the Junior League dur
ing the Community Chest campaign
Headed by Mrs. Laurence H. Green
chairman, and Mrs. B. Lowndes
Jackson, vice chairman, they have
set up their own Chest headquar-
tiers at their clubhouse, 200l Mas
sachusetts avenue NV.
Six Captains on An-Day Duty.
Six experienced team captains re-
main at their desks all day long
through the campaign so their
workers may reach them at any
time for advice or help. Before the
workers start out in the morning
they report to their team captains
for instructions and materials.
The team captains, all campaign
veterans, are Mrs. G. Rowland
Chase, Mrs. j. Francis Foy, Miss
Anne Carter Greene, Miss Eliza
beth Houghton, Miss Marion Shouse
and Mrs. Harry B. Slocum.
Starting with a single team the
league has expanded its Community
Chest work until now it's six teams
cover the entire Dupont-S Sheridan
Circle area of the Metropolitan
Unit.
When the house, house can
vass was adopted by the Chest the
league teams began the develop
ment and use of their black books. >
which are now used extensively
among other divisions of volunteers
Before the campaign opened each
team captain in the league checked
her territory personally, noting in
her BLACK book" all the building
her workers were to cover. Team
members were given similar books
containing the addresses of build
ings for which they were respon-
! sible
All Must Be Accounted For.
BY the end of the drive all ad-
dresses in the master books must be
accounted for, either with a pledge
or notation for future reference
This method, according to the
league, insures complete coverage
for the area and makes certain that
no more than one worker ap-
proaches any one prospect.
Last year the Junior League
division collected 1896 per cent OF
its quota, which amounted to sl8,-
258.35. This year their quota is s19.-

DIFFERENCES IN
SOVIET ADMINISTRATION

Editor The Times: May I
point out a slight error in the
recent discussion of the new
stand of the Soviet Union
Approximately one-fourth of the
members of the Supreme Soviet
are not members of the Commu-
nifty party. But this is a matter
of statistics rather than policy,
for. as in our own congress, the
vote does not follow party lines.
In ratifying the Soviet-Ger-
man non-aggression pact, the
non Communists support the
Communist administration, while
our Democratic congressman
often oppose a Democratic ad-
ministration. So, behind differ
ences is likeness, and behind like
nesses is difference.
