 The program included an in- vocation by Rev. Jonathan Reed; welcome by Mrs. Maybelle Ward, acting director of the Neighborhcod

 A survey just completed by the Community and War Chests cov- ering c typical cross section of pub- lic opinion in Waterbury indicates that two people out of three believe that the Community and War Chests are actually helping to win the war.
 The survey was conducted by an outside research organization and covered factory workers, ofice workers, housewives, executives and others representing ali givers to the Community and War Chests. .
 The survey showed that the most important way the Chest helps win the war Is in keeping the home front strong. through it's health work, child welfare, family service and other activities. The importance of the War Relief Agencies in build- ing morale in Allied countries and furnishing medical supplies, cloth. ing and food to those countries was also recognized as tremendously ii11- portant. The War Chests help to members of the American armed forces was also recognized by those queAeioned, for the Chest includes the UsO.
 The survey indicated that opin- ion in waterbury is divided as tc which is more imports tant.-the work of the Chests 1n Allied countries or here in Waterbury. The tabula. ton showed an almost identical number who stated that gifts to the Chest should be used first tc take care Cf home needs as com pared with those who believe that people in war torn countries need help more than those at home.
