Chest Reports
From Solicitors
Due Wednesday

John E. Allen, Community
Chest drive leader, today re-
minded all solicitors of the dead
line, October 81, at which time
solicitors are supposed to have
completed their contacts and
turned in their money to Mrs.
B. S. Hamersly, Chest secretary.
With the help Of 100 per cent
donations from five more Farm
vile businesses, the Chest drive
has gone just over the $4,000
mark. approximately half of the
1852 Chest quota. Joining Safe
way Store and Gordon's Trans
fer as 100 Per Cent Employee
Divers are Owen-Sanford,
Ruth's Beauty Salon, Southern
Hardware, Discount Furniture
Store and Gray's Drug Store.
Allen, commenting on the
Chest drive to date, said, 1--WE
don't know right now whether to
be discouraged or encouraged.
We will know definitely where
we stand on Wednesday, provid-
ed all solicitors have their re-
ports turned in. I urge all work.
ers to try and make their con-
facts by Wednesday and turn in
their money to Mrs. Hamersly."
Mrs. Adelaide Edwards, head
of all residential solicitation, re-
ported, Il have talked with all
the chairmen from the various
districts, and from all reports,
the residential work sounds very
encouraging. I feel confident
that each district will either
reach or go over its quota
With the $4,000 already re-
ceived, an additional $1,000 is
needed to reach the Chest quota
Of sci ,69l. This is the highest
Community Chest goal ever and
is due mainly to the establish
ment Of blood bank program
for Prince Edward county, which
will require about $500.
