Behind Quote

Within sight of their S23 sos
goal in the Community Chest
and War Fund drive. civic lead
ers today urged a spirited "last
minute effort" on the part of
donors and canvassers alike. TO
complete the campaign this
weekend.
City Chairman Guy Verkler
revealed that generous re-
spone has been accorded all
workers in the drive, and cash
and pledges now on hand
amount to more than 1000, or
IS per cent of the total.
Verkler urged that donors
who feel their contribution was
not as generous as it might have
been, should contact the work
er who collected from them, or
leave an additional sum to the
credit of the Community Chest
at either Mount Clemens bank.
Similarly, persons who may
have been missed by reason of
absence from town or some 9TH
er cause, are asked to come for
ward with their contribution,
remembering that the once-a-
year Community Chest drive
avoids a number of appeals dur
ing the year.
