Mckay Will Direct
Government Offices
For Chest Campaign

President Eisenhower has des-
ignated Interior Secretary Nc
Kay to direct Government
participation in the Community
Chest Fund drive next fall and
has called on Federal employees
for the fullest measure of sup
port and assistance"
In a statement issued late yes
terday, the President told the
heads of all agencies:
For the fall Red Feather
Campaign for the Community
Chest Federation and the United
Defense Fund-USO in the Ma
tional Capital Area, I have ap-
proved the appointment of the
Honorable Douglas Mckay, Sec
rotary of the Interior, as Chair
man for the Government Unit.
Support Urged.
II ask that you give him your
fullest measure of support and
assistance. All persons in au-
thority in the Federal and Dis
trict Government, I am sure, will
extend their. complete co-opera-
ton to this important charitable
appeal. Such cooperation would
logically include the assumption
of equitable unit goals, the eff
fective solicitation of all en-
ployes and the setting up of an
adequate collection method for
the convenience of those who
wish to make contributions on
an. installment basis.
I'm the National Capital area
the Community Chest Fedora
ton unites six Community
Chests and more than 100 Red
Feather agencies in one feder-
ated campaign to provide local
health, welfare and recfeational
programs which are so vital to
the building of a healthy.
strong and safer community in
which to live, work and play.
USO Included.
Included in the Red Feather
Campaign this year will be the
appeal of the United Defense
Fund which includes, among
others, the USO-USO Camp
Shows and United Community
Defense Services. These pro-
grams are essential to the
morale and happiness of our
men and women of the Armed
Forces both at home and over
seas.
1T is my hope that all Off
Gals and employees will be given
the opportunity to contribute
and that they will do so gener-
ously, mindful of the fact that
this is one appeal for the yearly
support of over 100 Red Feather
agency programs and the UDF-
USO. When you give-give your
fair share to support these
worthwhile services for a full
year."

Safety
Notes
By Bill. GIBB

eHeleased By The kWpD In
The Interest Of Public safety.l
George Washington and his little
Ratchet were angelic when COM
pared to some of our modern-day,
rascally youngsters with their BIB
guns. When the kids can't find a
bird to shoot, they turn the guns on
each other.
Growing boys all want a gun
and the BIB is ideally suited for
training them in the proper use
Of firearms. However, the parents
need to assume the responsibility
of seeing that their child receives
correct instruction. The new type
Of BIB gun that works under high
compression is as dangerous as q
% rifle.
FoIlwing are some Of the seafety
rules recommended by Colts Mfg.
Co. in its manual On Handgun
Use" If you're interested in tar.
get or defense shooting, you might
write to Hartford, Conn.,, for the
handbook.
~. Never point a gun, loaded
or unloaded. at anyone unless you
expect to shoot.
ca. Never ask If gun is unload.
ed. Look for yourself with finger
off the trigger and gun pointed
away from everyone.
60. Never practice swapping OF
| dry-firing except at place pro.
vided for it and then only after
q rigid inspection of the weapon
a.. Use only standard loads fol-
which the gun is designed. Keep
the gun clean.
(5). Never leave a loaded CUR
lying about where someone may
pick it up.
CO.. Never shoot at objects which
| may cause the bullet to ricochet
or glance. Fire only on an ap,
proved range.
The above are some of the rules
suggested by the Colt Co. They
| are also recommended by all
| other organizations whose work
brings its members in contact with
firearms.
Teach your children to shoot and
learn to handle a gun yourself. II

are followed. Contact the local pis.

IKE AND DUTCH QUEEN

Queen Juliana of The Netherlands was reportedly
considerably rufed recently by what she considered
cool reception at the White House, given her suggestion
that President Eisenhower take the lead in worldwide
refugeeetting program Diplomats expressed the belief
that may be time before the rufed feathers of
Juliana smoothed again.
The American Ambassador at The Hague trying to
correct the Queens impression sought to deliver per-
sona letter from President Eisenhower to her on several
occasions after she had made her proposal Obviously
pqued the lack of support the proposal received the
Queen became practically inaccessible to the American
Ambassador.
The result was that the White House released the
text of the letter before it delivered to the Dutch
Queen Dutch newspapers printed the letter the Queen
presumably saw there Ambassador Seden Chaplin de-
cided at this uncture that his best would be to
deliver the letter to the Foreign Ministry Obviously there
point in his delivering letter person which had
already appeared in the press So the Ambassador let the
Foreign Ministry worry about delivering the letter to the
Queen.
All of which, we suggest, presents rather trifling
