Red Feather
adopted for
Var Chest Symbol

Historical significance is attached
to the Red feather symbol adopted
by Community Chest and Councils,
Inc. as a nationwide device to call
attention to the Victory War Chest
Fund campaigns. The feather will
be used for the first time in this
area during the October drive and
will represent the War Chest and
services of chest agencies.
For centuries. red feathers have
been used in different countries as
symbols Of valor and good deeds
done. The Black Prince decreed
that when one of his knights per-
formed an unusual feat of valor or
chivalry, a red plum should be
placed in his helmet.
The Magyars used them as SYM
bols Of courage, believing that with
them warriors could not fail. Many
Indian tribes used large eagle
feathers dyed vermillion to mark
their most fearless and mighty
braves.
