Jennings, president of the Chest,
pointed out today.
Campaign results to date total
81, SOL 62o.73, nearly 20 per cent be-
low the minimum needed to carry
on the activities of the Chests SO
agencies.
To assure the purchase during
the coming year Of hospital care for
sick and injured people who will be
unable to pay for their own care"
Mr.. Jennings explained. the Chest
must set aside more than 1856 900.
II such deficit we're concentrated
in the family welfare field, it would
wipe out large portion of the
services of the Chest-supported
agencies who answer the calls for
aid from families faced with trouble
and disaster during a single year.
IF this amount were Subtracted
from our family welfare service
budget. We should have to say no
to many families like the one We
read about the other day in news
paper columns, in which an infant
and another small child were
burned seriously in a fire that de-
stroyed practically all the personal
belongings of one small home"
Need Continues.
Such crises will continue to be
common occurrences despite the in
crease in employment. Mr.. Jennings
said for the beneflt Of tagging

The apparent increase in pros

spending with charitable aid in
many similar tragedies that will
continue TO occur among families
with small or marginal incomes"
he reminded.
the main cause of financial need OF
nearly one-third of the families ap-
plying to the Chest-supported Fam
lily Service Association during De-
cember and January of last winter.
Another third were the large fam
lilies with irregular or inadequate in
comes, families in which the slight
est increase Of expense or loss Of
work through bad weather usually
meant inability to buy food or pay
the rent.
Washington is the greatest capi-
tai in the world today" Mr.. Jennings
declared. 1T is at peace. 1t Is pros
porous. Could anything give greater
satisfaction to the enemies of de-
rnocracy than the sight of the Cap
ital City of the United States neg
lecting its own people and weaken
ing the morale on the home 'front.'"
