Community Chest

1910 Campaign
Increase Of $44,457 Over
Last Year. New Worker
Added To Travel Society

Increased generosity of Commu.
nifty Chest givers during the past
campaign will be reflected in in
creased benefits in terms Of human
welfare, beginning with the new
year, 1941, a report by the Chest
budget committee made clear at
the December meeting of the board
of trustees.
Chest campaign results, accord
ing to the latest audit, exceed
those of the previous year by $44,-
457. The total now stands at 216,-
016 pledges for $685. 4S, or 98.41
per cent of the 100000 goal.
Protection for more children In
Montgomery county will be made
possible through increased alloca-
ton to the Montgomery County
Social Service League for the pur-
pose of making home placements
services available to at least six
additional children, it was reported
by the budget unit.
Rehabilitation and building back
To self-support of more families
will be made possible through the
Social Service League of Prince
Georges County, by the addition of
case-work services. For services
and relief to families struck by
misfortune a sum of $500 has been
added to the budget of the Catholic
Charities of Prince Georges.
Indirect benefits will also accrue
to residents of suburban communi-
ties through increases in the
agency services which raise the
level Of human welfare throughout
the entire metropolitan area of the
nations capital, it was revealed in
the report read by Col. w. o.
Tufts, chairman of the budget
group.
"In connection with the defense
program, there are literally thou
sands of people coming to Wash
ington, some with jobs, some with
out, some with jobs but insufficient
funds to finance themselves until
payday" Colonel Tufts pointed
out in his recommendations.
ITO help prevent actual suffering
We have added a worker to the
budget of the Travellers Aid Soci-
ETY., as well as additional relief
funds. In many instances the
clients refund to the agency for all
advances after becoming estab-
lished on a job. Thus some of the
money renders multiple service and
amplifies it's usefulness"
Other outstanding increases will
cover additional child protection
and placement opportunities in the
Children's Protective Association
and the Catholic Charities. Chill
dren convalescing from serious
Illnesses in Chest-supported Homes
will have the further benefit of a
special nurse to meet calls through
out the night, as well as additional
follow-up supervision after they
return home. Children now known
to be roaming the streets with dis
astrous results to their health and
well-being will have the construc-
tive attention of workers added to
the staff of Chest settlements serv-
inc congested areas.
