YOU has been adopted as the key
note of the campaign. In Mont
gomery county "they'' will be the
many children and adults who look
to Chest-supported agencies here
for recreation, opportunity and the
solution of their troubles.
Montgomery county agencies
which in 1941 will depend upon
money contributed through the
Washington Chest are the Boy
Scouts, the Girl Scouts, and the
Social Service League of Montgom-
cry county.
Service figures for 1910 show
that 679 boys enjoyed membership
in Boy Scout troops, and AL girls
in the Girl Scouts. Through the
Social Service League, ITO famil-
les were aided, and PIG children
were given shelter in foster homes.
That women volunteers will be
in the front ranks in the drive to
obtain support for human welfare
in the county is seen from the fact
that out of the 157 workers who
have so far enlisted, 1913 are
women.

chairmen, is nearest to completing
