Symbols Suggested
For Community Ches'
Emblem Contest
Prizes Of 500, $50
And SIS Will Go
To Winners

The Community Chest today
opened a SITS prize competition for
design of an official Chest emblem
by suggesting to the public certain
American qualities which might be
symbolized in designs submitted.
The Washingtonian who submits
the winning insignia will receive
800. Second place carries an award
Of $50 and third $25. The competi-
tion-open to all would-be artists OF
high school age and above-will
close April 30.
Coleman Jennings, president OF
the Chest, said his organizations
new insignia might we'll emphasize
the American way of meeting prob
lens Of the less fortunate, through
voluntary support of agencies which
take voluntary responsibility for
community welfare.
Symbols Suggested.
H. L. Rust, jr,, chairman of the
Judging Committee, suggested more
specifically that designs could in
clude symbols for the following:
Democracy-Since the Chest is
governed by board upon which
member agencies and the publics
contributors are equally represented.
Tolerance-Since all races, creeds
and economic groups are united
under the Chest.
Generosity-The Chest enables
the strong to help the weak.
Neighborliness-The old-fashioned
sentiment in the form of modern
institution.
Justice-Through careful investi-
cation of agency aid to the needy
and by distributing the burden of
giving over a greater number of
contributors.
Co-operation-Of the 81 member
agencies and the thousands of citi-
pens who work with the Chest.
Inspiration for Designs.
Mr.. Jennings pointed out that
less abstract inspiration for emblem
designs may be found in the Chests
round of daily work, which stretches
from the realm of infancy to old
age
Helpless babies are protected to
Insure their health and future hap
piness,' he said. Young children
are given recreation and training
to cOunteract pressure of modern
city living, young people find outlet
for their energies. men and women
are helped to preserve or rebuild
secure homes, old people find peace
and comfort"
Contestants may get more de-
tailed information of activities con-
Quoted by Chest agencies from the
organizations public information
headquarters, 1912 Eleventh street
NV.
The winning emblem will be used
on Community Chest stationery and
probably on the buttons of volun-
teers and for poster display. Among
the judges are the following:
c. Powell Minnigerode, director of
the Corcoran Art Gallery; David
Finley. director of the National Art
Gallery; c. K. Bergman, staff car
toonist of The Star; George Lohr
commercial artist: Mr.. Jennings
and Herbert L. Willett, jr.. director
OF the Chest. Their decision will be
final.
The prize money has been donated
by a private individual.

By ETHEL M. TROY

Can one read the newspapers
today without realizing that the
country is heading into a program
OF great military expansion, if only
as measure of defense? To sup
port this program taxes must be
greatly increased.
Of all types of property, life in
surance has been most gently
handled by the tax-gatherers thru
the years, because it is dedicated
to the care of widows and orphans
and of old men and women, a
sacred trust which may not be en-
dangered.
Basically, the Federal Estate
Tax, the Gift Tax and the State
Inheritance Tax are imposed at
the time of transfer. By the rela-
lively simple methods of life in
surance these transfers are re-
duced to a minimum. The figure
of $4,000 of life insurance which
is exempt from the Federal Estate
Tax probably will be reduced, it
being recognized that at per cent
this amount will provide an income
of $1,000 yearly which is consid-
cred the minimum income neces-
sary to maintain an American
family.
Another basic principle of taxa
ton is that the Income Tax, the
Gift Tax and the Federal Estate
Tax all are administered at gradu-
ated rates. For instance, a man
with a yearly income of $4,000
pays a larger tax than ten men
with incomes of $4,000 each. Life
insurance lends itself easily to
reasonable division of property.
A third characteristic Of taxa
ton is that certain types of invest
ments are accorded favorable
treatment, life insurance being so
favored, as already pointed out.
In it's relation to taxes, life in
surance is workable, logical and in
no conflict with government. Its
operations are simple and funda-
mental, now and always.

Health Dept.
Issues Warning
To VacatiOnists
Safe Outdoor Spots Marked
By PIacards Showing That
They Have Been Okayed

Campers and other outdoor va.
cationists were warned to seel
spots marked as safe by placards
of the State Health Department
that agency announced this week
Inspectors of the department have
placed such signs at numerous va
cation resorts and camping sites
which have met with their ap-
prevail, it was stated.
The Health Department state
ment follows:
"When we go hiking, camping.
fishing or enjoy any other outdoor
pleasures, we join large family,
50 to speak, for which such neces-
sites as safe drinking water,
properly handled foods, and toilet
facilities, must be provided. We
are so accustomed to these things
that we take it for granted we will
find them wherever we go. You
may be surprised to find out that
special precautions are taken by
the State Department of Health,
not only to see that such necessi-
ties are provided, but that they are
adequately safeguarded.
"Just use your eyes, when you
start your trip, and you can tell
whether the place you are heading
for meets Health Department re-
quirements. If you are looking
for a place with safe drinking
water, for a picnic, quick lunch,
an overnight stay or for a cool
swim in a clean carefully operated
pool, don't stop until you see the
placard bearing the seal of the
State of Maryland showing that
the place has been duly inspected
and that it meets the sanitary re-
quirements. This placard repre-
sents a permit which must be re-
newed each year before the place
may be opened for the season.
"To be duly certified. each camp
must comply with prescribed regu-
lations with regard to water sup
ply, toilet facilities, and the dis
posal Of sewage, garbage and other
waste; the protection of foods sold
on the premises from spoilage and
from contamination by flies or
otherwise; sources of supply and
methods Of handling milk, cream
and ice cream; and the general
cleanliness of buildings and
grounds.
"And here's a pointer for those
who swim: A safe swimming pool
is very difficult to maintain and
requires special engineering at
