were obliged to turn down ALA
pleas for assistance from families
in real need last year, while &C
cepting 1919.
The eight Chest-supported settle
ment houses can do nothing to ex-
pand STATS or facilities to care for
increasing numbers Of children ask
ing for admittance because Of in
sufficient funds, the director added.
He offered an estimate Of the
Children's Protective Association
that more than three times as many
children needed foster home care
last year than it could provide with
the amount budgeted, as well as q
declaration by officials Of the Catho-
lie Charities that families appeal
ing to THAT Chest member needed
three times the amount the Chest
was able to allot.
Might Eliminate Camping.
"Any considerable deficit might
dictate the necessity Of eliminating
as lump sum the camping pro-
gram, through which thousands Of
less privileged children lin this COM
munity now receive the health
building benefits Of a period at
summer camp" Mr.. Willett warned.
In announcing the extension at
yesterdays luncheon, General Chair
man Chauncey G. Parker, jr, de-
clared: .
THE coming week gives the OPP
portunity for workers who have not
finished their share of the campaign
to call upon every possible contrib
utor for whom they are responsible.
at gives contributors who have
not been reached the opportunity to
give as the call comes to them or to
bring their gifts to the campaign
headquarters at the Willard Hotel.
And it gives to the many who have
already given but are unwilling to
see the word inadequate" written
against the budgets Of 81 social
agencies for 1941, the opportunity to
add a further amount to the gifts
that they have already made.
"At the very beginning of solicit
tation we asked every last years
contributor to add at least so cents
to last years gift. That additional
amount as q supplementary cash
contribution during this next week
can easily spell the difference be-
tween adding to the number Of peo-
pie who can receive care~1n 194l or
refusing them the care that they so
much need"
Saw Failure Of Goal
He said campaign ofncials realized
after studying Mondays reports that
nothing short of a miracle" could
make the drive success within the
period originally set, and therefore
decided upon a one-week extension,
with report luncheons tomorrow and
Tuesday.
