enue is seriously i'll at the Mercy
Hospital in Baltimore.
The nurse who is looking after the
little chap says that the one thing
that interests him more than any
thing else is opening cards that are

the little fellow happy by taking
time to mail him card or two? His

Baltimore, Md.
In my wandering around town
this week all / can talk about-or
for that matter anyone else can talk
about-is the truly wonderful re-
suit of the 1949 Community Chest
Drive.
Asked to raise $92,746, the people
of Hagerstown and the rest of Wash
ington County responded by raising
$1O7198.65.
Realizing, perhaps, that money
would be little tighter this year
than it was last, the executive board
of the Community Chest, with the
full consent of the board of direc-
tors, decided that although $1,000
would be needed to properly finance
the work of the eleven agencies that
come under the Chest, they would
only ask the public to donate $92,-
600, taking the remaining $4,000
needed from the surplus fund of the
organization.
But they just didn't know the
people of Washington County,
through whose unbounded generos-
ity the surplus funds of the Com
munity Chest remain intact, as
a bulwark against the possibility that
the day might sometime come when
it would be physical impossibility
to raise an amount sufficient to care
for the needs.
Is it any wonder, then, that I am
continually mentioning in this
column that Washington County
any part of it, from Hagerstown to
the smallest village-is a wonder
full place in which to live and make
living.
John Baer, the general chairman
of the drive, and his co-chairman,
PAUL Shields, both deserve a world
of credit for the fine organization
job that they did. But every bit as
much credit is deserved by not only
every single volunteer worker who
took part in the drive, but also the
thousands of Washington County
folks whose donations were what
really counted. Some gave a dol
lar bill, some gave several hundreds
of dollars, but the big thing is that
everybody gave, to make Washing
ton County stand out above all other
counties in the nation.
We might criticize each other about
little things, we may fuss and fume
about our government and the high
cost of living, but when it comes to
sharing what we have with others
who need it, the good people of
Washington County are the tops.
I've travelled around good bit. |
and I've lived in many places, but
i can say, with all humbleness and
sincerity that l am mighty proud to
be a member of this great commun-
ity.
