of the operating costs of 1872 Red
Feather agencies. An additional
$906,000 is sought to continue USO
activities for the final year.
One of the main detectives Of
Community Chests is to assure
a good start in life for all chill
dren. Red Feather youth agen-
cies universally strive to pre-
pare the boys and girls of today
for their responsibilities as citi-
zens of tomorrow.
To carry out this objective, Phila-
delphia, for example, will allot the
largest percentage of its campaign
funds, more than 20 per cent, to its
Red Feather youth recreation serv-
ices and another II per cent to it's
child care agencies. Last year, the
city's 80 Red Feather youth agen-
cies served more than 1874 boys
and girls and provided 183, 1898 days
in camps.

Red Feather Flown as Symbol
In Social Service Fund Drives
Badge Is Beacon
OfHope To Sick,
Weary, Homeless

For centuries the red feath-
er has been accepted as a badge
of courage and generosity.
Robin Hood awarded red feath-
ers to his followers for heroic
and generous deeds; outstand-
ing Indian braves often were
the recipients of red feather
awards for feats of valor and
acts of kindness.
This year, in cities throughout the
United States, the Red Feather will
mean hope for the sick, homeless
and friendless. Community Chests of
the country have adopted the Red
Feather to designate services to or
phans, the aged, the blind, crippled
children and the sick.
In previous years the welfare fund
raising organizations from coast to
coast have been known by a vari-
ETY. of names and their symbols
have been many and varied In 1916,
for the first time, practically all of
them are known as Community
Chests and all fly the Red Feather.
Many Join Movement.
Last year, $40 cities in the coun-
try raised close to a quarter billion
dollars through community fund
raising campaigns. These cities
each conducted single campaign to
raise funds to support multiple well
fare agencies.
1t was in Cleveland, Ohio,
that the Community Chest plan
was born in 1913. A group of
Cleveland business men, aware
of the many fund drives held
each year and of the vast sums
spent annually to raise money
for welfare purposes, evolved
a plan to budget the city's well
fare needs and to hold one cam
paign annually to obtain the
money to meet these needs.
Before Cleveland held the first
Community Chest campaign, 5000
persons were contributing money
