Go and See

AS an important preliminary to
the opening of the annual Commu-
nifty Chest campaign, thirty-eight of
the sixty-seven agencies which par
ticipate in the work of alleviating
suffering and distress in Washington
this week are beginning a series of
"at homes" to which all residents of
the Capital are invited.
Nearly every citizen who has a
proper concept of his place in the
community, of his rights and obli-
cations, has some intimate knowl-
edge of the work being done by one
or more of these agencies. But there
are few who realize what is being
done in the broad field of public well
fare and character-building by all
the many private agencies which are
included in the Chest. In the past
this has led to misunderstanding
which have hurt alike the agencies,
the community, and the doubling
citizen. There have been skeptics
who honestly doubt the necessity for
the inclusion of certain types of Or
ganizations in the general fund.
The series of open houses which is
now under way will prove revealing
to such as these, just as it will prove
an inspiration to others who may be
tempted by sense of personal Sc
curity to take the work of these or
ganizations for granted.
A visit to any of the agencies with
which one is not familiar is a prac-
tical lesson in citizenship and civic
responsibility. AS further aid, the
volunteer motor corps offers free
transportation to all who are unable
to make arrangements of their own
to visit the organizations and insti-
tutionS.
Surely any one who has any doubts,
or any one who does not know of the
work actually being carried on with
the assistance of his Community
Chest, owes it to himself as well as
to his fellow men to make one or
more of these visits. The time will
be well spent, for each visit, touching
upon different phases Of the prob
lens confronting the people with
whom he lives, offers different type
of interest.
GO and See." The event is an eye
opener.
