Sidewalk Campaign
To Begin Today for
Savings Bond Sales

The first peacetime campaign of
the United States Savings Bonds
Division to defeat imitation by urg-
ing purchase of savings bonds will
assume more personal note be-
tween now and July 4, when the
drive ends, as 1900 expert volun-
teer statesmen launch this week a
word of mouth" publicity cam
paign throughout the city.
The expert statesmen, veterans of
the seven War Bond campaigns and
the Victory Loan drive of last win
ter, today will begin to buttonhole
friends, acquaintances and strang-
ers on the street and talk bonds" +"
according to Wilmer J. Waller,
chairman of the District drive.
These bond takers" will supple
ment the intensive newspaper, ra-
dio and advertising campaign which
began Thursday to preach the wis
dom of the Nations continued sub
scription in United States Savings
Bonds as a means of overcoming
the forces of imitation.
Meanwhile, Mr. Waller reported
the campaign was getting off to a
flying start as sponsors of publicity
stepped up support of the cam
paign. He called for a continued
sustained effort so that every
District citizen will clearly under
stand the need for investment in
Savings Bonds"
Mr.. Waller pointed out that our
country's need for Savings Bond
money is as urgent today as dur
ing the war. Not only do Savings
Bonds help fight imitation and the
rising cost of living, but they are
likewise instrumental in admin
istering to the needs OF our vet
erans, he said. Mr. Waller con-
tinued:
THE Savings Bonds of today are
the same old War Bond of yester-
day. They pay the same rate OF
interest and have the same matur-
ity date. Savings Bonds may be
bought conveniently-at post offices

The combining of fund-raising
activities of Community Chests in
the vicinity of Washington spells
the end of "Balkanization" of local
welfare activities. DR.. Elmer L.
Kayser, dean of students at George
Washington University, told the in
augural luncheon of the Community
Chest Federation, National Capital
area, yesterday.
He spoke in the Presidential Room
of the Hotel Statler before an audi
ence of representatives of member
groups of six area Chests-now
pledged to work together for the
welfare of 100000 persons in the
Capital and surrounding area.
Such a meeting would have been
highly revolutionary 20 years ago."
DR.. Kayser declared, explaining that
fashioned parochialism had
blocked cooperation between well
fare groups in the past. To-day,
we can no longer be accused of
'Balkanizing' human need" he said.
Cites Removal of Boundaries.
A similar note was struck by an
other speaker at the luncheon, Ralph
H. Blanchard of New York, execu-
tive administrator of Community
Chests and Councils, Inc. The war
years taught Chest workers that
human need has no boundary
lines" and that where welfare prob
lens are concerned, a city cannot be
disasssociated from it's surrounding
area, he asserted.
Numerous other cities. including
Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit and Los
Angeles, have successfully co-ordi-
mated their Community Chest activi-
ties on area lines, he said.
'The Chest movement" Mr.. Blan-
chard continued, goes into the post
war period in relatively the strong
est position in its history" His re-
marks were broadcast locally over
station WMAL.
Speakers pointed out that welfare
groups throughout the Capital re-
gion had worked together during
the war through the Community
War Fund and that the new fedora
ton might be viewed as a peace
time development of the War Fund.
