Is an important sum in terms Of
human welfare services, Coleman
Jennings, president of the Chest
pointed out today.
Campaign results to date tota
s1,601 ,62073. nearly 20 per cent be-
low the minimum needed to carry
on the activities Of the Chests Sc
AGENCIES
To assure the purchase durine
the coming year Of hospital care fol-
sick and injured people who will be
unable to pay for their own care,
Mr.. Jennings explained, the Chest
must set aside more than 1855 900
If such deficit were concentrated
in the family welfare field. it woulc
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 benefit of tagging
givers.
The apparent increase in pros
perity does not relieve the COM
munity of its responsibility for re-
spending with charitable aid in
many similar tragedies that will
continue to occur among families
with small or marginal incomes"
he reminded.
According to records, illness was
the main cause of financial need OF
nearly one-third of the families ap-
plying to the Chest-supported Fam
lly 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 ti,eworld today" Mr.. Jennings
declared at is at peace. It is pros
porous. Could anything give greater
satisfaction to the enemies of de-
mocracy than the sight of the Cap
ttal City of the United States neg
lecting its own people and weaken
ing the morale on the home front?"
Meanwhile. the more than 10000
volunteer workers carrying on the
campaign continued today to make
a final drive to bring in the needed
sum by tomorrow's meeting, sched-
uled last week after it was found
necessary to extend the drive beyond
Thursday. Canvassing is expected
to continue until late hour tonight.
