Community Chest
Work Is Explained
Agency Safeguards Interests of
Both Contributing Public and
Member Organizations.

Wallets on a string -collections
for trumped-up causes-and other
practical jokes will catch 'some
people off-guard today
April /, however, is not the only
day on which people are tricked.
Many people are duped all dur
ing the year by fake charities, Mr..
Frank S. Letter, President of the
Hagerstown and Washington County
Community Chest, declared today.
Zone responsible authority estimates
that innocent givers throw away at
least $100,000,00O each year to
fraudulent philanthropic appeals
throughout the country" Mr.. Letter
said.
Locally, the Community Chest
method of financing health and vel
fare programs safeguards the inter
ests of both the contributing public
and legitimate social service organ
izations," Mr. Letter added.
The Community Chest plan pro-
tects the public by conducting one
big campaign in Hagerstown &
Washington County each year in
stead of ten small ones. This re-
duces campaign costs; conserves the
time and efforts of volunteers; and
enables staff members in the agen-
cies to devote their time to health
and welfare service instead of money
raising.
The agencies benefit from the
Community Chest because they are
assured of regular budgeted in
come for an entire year, instead of
being forced to exist on "hand to
mouth" basis, which was often the
case when they conducted separate
appeals before joining the Chest.
Protection is provided also for those
services, vital to the health and well
fare of the community, the officers of
which would find it difficult to raise
their own funds, because of the con-
fidential nature of their work, or
because they have less emotional ap-
peal than other organizations.
The public reaps additional bene-
fits from the Chest plan by having
the assurance that contributions
will be used to support only approved
agencies which have proved their
value to the community. All Red
Feather services must meet certain
standards before they can become
member agencies of the Chest. Fur
thermore, the Chest eliminates dup
locations of the same services by
several organizations.

For a long time, to the aver

WHEREAS, the President of

WHEREAS, in these days of
International tensions, when

based upon a small nucleus of
Regulars and a citizen reserve,
consisting of the National
Guard and the Organized Re-

gency, and
WHEREAS, it is obvious that
the strong citizen forces re :
CURED by the American plan

defense of this Nation by as
sisting and encouraging their
employees to join the reserve
components of our Armed

to make some sacrifice to in

against personal financial loss
by reason of their participation
in essential instruction periods,
drills and training encamp-

Around Town With
The Editor

l hope the day will come when
the government of these United
States will be strong enough to han
die its labor troubles without first
disrupting the economy of the ma
ton, and second, without having to
go to the courts in order to get a
union official to observe the law of
the land.
We set a poor example to the
rest of the world, of democracy in
action, when we allow one man to
literally thumb his nose at the Con-
gress of the United States.
l understand that the Charter
Commission will hold a meeting
next week, at which final action
will be taken regarding a proposed
new Charter for the City of Hag-
erstown. l sincerely hope that be-
fore these gentlemen commit the
taxpayers of Hagerstown to the
expense of a special election, that
they get, not an unofficial opinion
from the States Attorney General,
but an official, legal ruling from
him on State Senator Nc Laughlin's
Bill passed at the last session of the
State Legislature, which authorized
the appointment of the Commission.
In my opinion, if a complete new
Charter is voted on it will be
overwhelmingly defeated, and a
lot of money will be wasted. But
believe, after having read Senator
McLaughlin's Bill very carefully,
that the Charter Commission has
the power to -
l. Recommend amendments to
the present Charter.
2. Recommend a simple recodifi-
cation of the present Charter.
3. Recommend a complete new
Charter.
4. Recommend that no action be
taken at all.
AS l read it, the only specific or
der in Senator McLaughlin's Bill is,
that if the Charter Commission rec
oommends any action regarding
the present charter, then their
recommendations must be placed be-
fore the voters of Hagerstown in
the form of a referendum, exactly
as recommended by the Charter
Commission.
/ believe that if a few, important
amendments to the Charter are pre-
scented to the voters, some, if not all
of them will be adopted, but as
said in the beginning, don't think
there is a possibility of the voters
of Hagerstown accepting complete
new Charter, for the simple reason
that some would object to some
sections of it, and others to others.
My congratulations to Lett e
Brothers on the magnificent Easter
window in their store last week. "A
beautifully simple representation of
the church sanctuary with the wor-
shippers in the pews, it was an in
spiration to everyone who saw it.
