FUND AND CHEST
 QUOTA, $525,67l
Concerted Effort Planned to Reach Every Employe
 of War Plants

sherman II. Perry, director of the l946 campaign of the Combined War Fund and Community Chest of Wa terbury, Inc, today expressed the belief that Waterbury residents would give their whole hearted sup- port to the l045 drive because they realize the importance of the work of Community Chest and War Fund agencies at home and abroad"
 Pointing out that goal of $525, ,67l, must be reached, this year If the work of the War Fund and Com. munity Chest is to continue, Mir Perry asserted the $456,S2l raised last year fell far short of the goal of $528, ,454.
 A concerted effort will be made this year to reach every employe of the local war plants, MT. Perry de- clared, and plant organizations are already being SC tup through labor management committees to conduct solicitations.
 A much better response to the 1945 appeal was predicted by MT. Perry, who pointed out that many factory workers had been given an opportunity to see the work of Chest agencies first hand by taking part in some of the many "Come-and- See" tours conducted by the Chest since early spring.
 "These people," he said, "do not need to be told about the work of the War Fund and Chest services. They have seen what is being done -and they are telling their friends, relatives and co-workers.'
