Phoenix Boys
Clubs Included
In Chest Budget

Walter r. Bimson, chairman of
the 1851 Phoenix Community
Chest campaign, has reported that
if each of the 26 Chest agencies
conducted separate annual cam
paigns, the cost for each drive
would be from IS to 35 per cent
of the amount raised"
In no case does Community
Chest money supply 100 per cent
of a member agency's budget, he
said. The balance of each budget
is met in a number of ways, such
as endowments, financial gifts,
fees, etc. Fees are necessary for
some services because of operat-
ing costs, he said, yet person may
be served for nothing, only part,
or all of the fee, depending upon
his ability to pay.
without the Community Chest
funds, however," Bimson said,
"these services would not be avail
able at all, since Chest, money
comprises large percentage of
all agency operating budgets"
Boys Clubs of Phoenix and
Goodwill Industries of Arizona
were included as Chest agencies
only recently, and will benefit
from the campaign for the first
time this year.
The Chest campaign, which
started this week and ends Nov.
3rd, has goal of $427,5 SIT.

Cattle are fond of licking fresh
paint from fences, posts, gates.
exterior of barns, stanchions and
other parts of the stable. Cattle
frequently lick discarded cans,
buckets, and other containers con-
tanning fresh paint. AS most paint
contain lead it requires only a
small amount to cause fatal lead
poisoning. Sprays containing lead
arsenate and similar compounds
are also common sources of poison
ing. Special precautions should be
taken to keep cattle away from
public dumping grounds, as such
areas are often possible sources of
chemical poisoning. Be safe! Burn
