on October 10 and finished by
October 20. Lewis said. 1t will
be between these dates that the
employee conferences will be
scheduled.
The businessmen were inform
ed that the Is Community Chest
agencies showed a need for and
requested S22.6O0 for their pro-
grams in the com in G year.
Against this need, the Chest
Budget and Admissions commit
tee has had to make a 10 per
cent reduction to every agency
because, based on past Chest ap-
peals. that is what the commit
tee feels is all that will be
raised" Lewis said.
Agencies Cut
Against the $22.659 the agen-
cies asked, the Chest has bud
geted Sl9.573. The difference be-
tween the needs and the budgeted
total can be bridged by ade-
quate giving in the employees
group. Lewis said. Against the
needs of l3 community agencies,
many in the employee group
have contributed only pocket
money without the chance to
stretch their giving over a long
period through payroll deduc-
tons, he added.
DR.. F. G. Landlord, Jr., Chest
president, endorsed the payroll
appeal to the business men,
emphasizing I III at Community
Chest giving annually enhances
or detracts from the reputation
of a community. II also hope,
each of us will emphasize the
community element in the
drive. We are to great extent
helping each other when we give
to the Chest" DR.. Landlord said.
