Chest Pledges Reach

Final Meeting
Choirmon Predicts
1000 Success When
Sector Work Is Ended

Pledges totaling sl.866, ,89124, or
SO "a per cent of the s2.OOO,00O quota
for 1910. were reported today at the
final campaign luncheon of the
Community Chest at the Willard
Hotel.
Chauncey G. Parker. jr., campaign
chairman. expressed gratitude for
this generous response from the peo-
pie of the District and declared the
army of volunteer workers would
continue "mopping up their sectors
until the closing audit on Decem-
ber s.
He predicted that the entire quota
would be raised.
Il think" the chairman said, "the
fact that the people of Washington
were willing to lay on the line close
to $2000.000 is wonderful thing
We can fairly claim that the cam
paign is success
The Government Unit, reporting
$748,41834, achieved 97.8 per cent
Of its quota. the largest percentage
Brig Gen. Frank T. Hines, chair
man of that unit. said the entire
quota would be pledged when all the
returns are in.
As campaign officials anxiously
awaited results of today's meeting,
they reported that. according to
latest results from 81 cities having
welfare goals of $5000OO or over
Washington before the reports today
was at the bottom of the list if the
amount raised in comparison to last
years results is considered-and
only one step from the bottom if
percentage of goal reached is the
basis for comparison.
Partial reports trickling in during
the week of post have
resulted in small percentage gains
in three or four of the soliciting
units.
That citizens are being aroused
to an awareness of the emergency
seems likely from additional gifts
that they are now beginning to mail
or bring in person to Community
Chest headquarters. Campaign
Chairman Chauncey G.. Parker, jr.
said before the meeting.
Mr.. Parker emphasized that
pledges and cash contributions
would be accepted either at the
Chest campaign headquarters on
the second floor of the Willard
which will be open through next
Monday, or at any time at the
Chests vear-round headquarters at
1101 M street NV.
The Chest received a letter to-
day from Helen w. Harris. a teach
er at Banneker Junior High School
with $l25 money order and a
letter explaining that the money
had been raised by her civics class
'in its effort to show its civic
mindedness and its understanding
in the current campaign"
Added Gift Honors Baby.
A IS addition to a gift already
pledged was made by Mr.. and Mrs
Julius Goldstein in honor of their
new daughter, Joan.

advised that an increase of 1925 will
be made in the original pledge
