'PrinceGeorges
.ChestAgencies
To Be Surveyed
Council Will Study
Effectiveness of g
County Groups

A survey of the operations Of
Prince Georges County's Com
munity Chest agencies will be un-
dertaken soon by the county Com
munity Chest and Planning Coun-
Gil, it was learned today.
The survey was decided on at
the first meeting of the Planning
Council in nearly a year, and
half. The meeting, held Thurs
day night at the University of
Maryland, was attended by repre-
sentatives of IL civic organiza-
tions.
Edward Di Bella, the organiza-
tons executive director, said the
survey will seek to ascertain in
the effectiveness of the work Of
the nine Chest agencies operating
in the county. In particular. the
council wants to find out whether
there are any areas not being
served adequately and to straight
en- out any possible overlapping
services, Mi. Di Bella said.
This is the first such study to
be undertaken in the county, ac-
cording to the Chest official. It
is also the first major project to
be undertaken by the Planning
Council since 1t was organized in
1916, he added.
"The Planning Council has been
kind of weak sister in its re-
lationship to the chest up to now"
Mr. Di Bella said. 1T hasn't been
used as it was intended-to make
the agencies stronger and more
useful. The members feel it should
be revitalized. We believe this
will be an important step In i'm
proving present welfare and
health services and making more
services available"
The council, which includes rep
resentatives of about 60 civic.
welfare, recreation and religious
groups, will hold another meeting
December 7 and pans to meet at
least every two or three months
in the future, the director said.
Ferdinand Grayson. assistant di-
rector of United Con. nunity Serv-
ices in Washington. has been in
vited to the December 7 meeting
to describe how the work of the
Capitals chest agencies is ap-
praised.
Although the planning council
as a whole has been largely mac
tive, several committees have met
frequently. Mr.. Di Bella pointed
out. These are the Family and
Child Welfare Committee. headed
by DR.. S. J. N. Sugar; health.
headed by Mayor Caesar L. Aiello
of Hyattsville: recreation, Mrs.
Clyde L. Everson. and research.
Dr.. Charles E. Hutchinson. Coun-
Gil chairman is Dr. Peter P. Leiins
professor of sociology at the Uni
versity of Marylad.
Early this year the council pub
lished the county's first directory
of health and welfare services.
A council study of the need OF
hospital care for low-income FAM
lilies led to ablishment of a
branch office of the Hospital Serv-
ice Agency.
The county Chest agencies, be-
sides the council Office itself and
the HSA, are the Boy and Girl
Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Catholic
Charities, Social Service League,
Young Mems Christian Association
and Boys Club.
