or child in our community help that
they so greatly need"
None of us could face Thanks
giving Day with a happy heart and
an easy conscience if we let them
down." he asserted.
Hope for the success of the cam
paign was seen by Chest Director
Herbert L Wiliett, jr., in the fact
that some 5000 givers of the 190,-
900 who contributed last year are
still to be heard from.
Its big job for our volunteers
this matter of seeing every giver
to whom they have been assigned" I"
he pointed out. Several repeat
calls are often necessary even to
find the prospective giver at home.
Some whom we know to be gen.
erous givers are out of town so that
it may be a matter Of weeks before
they will return or before their re-
sponse ran be obtained by mail"
When the campaign committee
set the goal at $4,000 900 they did it
with the one fact in mind that it
was a reasonable goal. and one that
it is entirely possible for WASH
ington to reach, Mr.. Willett declared.
above all, we know that 81 100000
is the least sum which will enable
Community Chest agencies to con-
tinue all the multiple daily services
which are so necessary to the well
fare of all of us in this community"
he sad.
Reminders of the "Give-And Be
Thankful You Can" campaign in the
form of displays and posters are on
view in more than 40 Government
Office buildings as well as number
of business firms.
Through the cooperation of the
Police Department, the slogan, to-
gether with the dates of the cam
paign, and the insignia of the heart
with the giver's feather, appear in
sidewalk stencils
Small boxed insertions in display
advertising through the cooperation
of department stores and other busi-
ness firms daily repeat the slogan.
Outstanding among the displays
in Government buildings is the
lighted diorama of a Community
Chest Cup Regatta" in the lobby of
the Veterans Administration Build
ing. Each of the 30 divisions of the
Chest campaign into which the 5000
employees of the Veterans Admin
istration are divided is represented
by a sailboat racing over a course.
The diorama is the work of May
c. Clark of the graphic section,
budget and statistical division.
