Mrs. Beatty Sparks Group in Chest Drive

to be turned over to the business
unit which handles professional
men. The residential unit quota
was lowered because of it, how
ever.
During the next two weeks Mrs.
Beatty will have her hands full
seeing that the last 20 percent of
their quota-$6l ,306-is raised
but after December l she doesn't
have any plans for full-time vol
unteer work.
II want to start relating myself
to my new community" she ex-
plains, but adds, II will also spend
some time getting out report on
the campaign for next years chair
man."
Recommendations
The most important item in her
report will be a suggestion that
her unit enlist 5000 volunteers
next year and begin getting them
in January instead of the spring
and summer when so many are
away.
"This year we have three times
as many volunteers as last and
still aren't through on time. If
they have 5000 next year they'll
finish on the dot and get their
quota" she predicts.
Heading committees for Mrs.
Beatty's unit are Mrs. Ezekiel
Stoddard, recruiting; Mrs. Maui
rice Hacke. advanced gifts; Mrs.
Oscar Chapman, programming;
Mrs. Theodore Wedel, training;
Mrs. Dalton Myers, public rela-
tions, and Mrs. Edward Keyes,
records.
Mrs. Beatty summed up her ex-
periences with the chest by say
ing. If had to pick out the
high light of my work here, it
would be all the wonderful friends
I have made. They've made it
easy and so has knowing that so
many hundreds of people are
counting on us raising our quota"
i Mrs. Beatty, herself, was
summed up for us by Mr.. Edward
u. Keyes. executive director of
the Community Chest Federation,
when he suggested. "Just tell
them all she's a human dynamo" !"

just meant the things like paint
ing the whole house"
While the moving was going or
there was also the problem OF
canning all the produce from a
half-acre of land the Beattys
farmed this summer.
This is another of those little
things Mrs. Beatty took care OF
while reporting to chest head
quarters every day at $3.50 and
staying with it until 5 or later.
A typical day for the residential
unit chairman goes something like
this:
Get up about 6, cook breakfast
drive to work with husband, re-
port to Washington Hotel head
quarters at $50, read mail, an
swer letters, check on drive prog
ress, work on report, atteno
strategy meeting, interview COM
mittee chairmen on problems, &c
over agenda for report lunch
check physical arrangements for
lunch, greet guests, speak at
lunch. after lunch go back and
tabulate new returns. go to M
street headquarters and check on
appeal letters going to unsolicited
apartment units, return to Wash
ington Hotel and make final tab
ulations for day, meet husband
$50, drive back to Vienna, cook
dinner etc.
And as if all this isn't enough
Mrs. Beatty is also vice president
of the Woman's Society of the
Metropolitan Memorial Methodist
Church and plans a monthly
educational program for them;
chairman of the Legislative Com
mittee of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers and chair
man of United Community
Services Committee studying
services for girls in Washington.
Fruits of Labor
The knowledge that she is doing
something worth while for other
people is all the inducement Mrs.
Beatty seems to need for adding
new jobs to her full schedule.
And every time she adds a new
job her husband is all for it..
I'VE both just like people and if
what I do with my time is for
other people, then my husband
wants me to do it," she said.
In the chest campaign her
greatest gratification-outside of
the fact that with the 15-day ex-
tension given workers to complete
their canvassing she now conf
IDENTIFY predicts that her unit will
go over the top by $20,000-is the
