FOR COMMUNITY
CHEST AT ONCE
Assignments Drawn by Va
rious Committees Last
Night.
COOPERATION URGED
Committee Desires to Com
plete Work as Quickly
t as Possible Will
: Solicit All.
A meeting of committees of men
representing the Klks, I. O. O. F.
aud Masonic lodges, American Le
sion, Kiwunls, liotury and Active
Clubs, the Ministerial association,
the Umpqua Chiefs as well as a
committee of women from the
Business Woman's Club was held
at the Chumber of Commerce
rooms Inst night Tor tile purpose of
completing plans for this year's fi
nancial campaign for the Commun
ity Chest.
Glen McAllister, who wns select
ed as chairman of tills year's drlvo
presided. He explained to this
group of determined people that
the general committee of the Chest
had decided, after having tried the
plan of the Community Chest out
for two yours, to put the matter
of whether or -.not'" thin system,
which is rupldly becoming univers
al, should he continued In Iioso
burg, squarely up to them for their
endorsement or rejection.
He further stated that these or
ganizations had not only endorsed
Ihe Community Chest but had men
lo represent them ns solicitors for
tile dilve for funds.
V. T. Jackson pointed out that
the essential thing in nuttinir this
drive over successfully wns for
every man to make his appeals
strictly on a business biiBis and
stick to his district until every per
son within that district had buen
seen.
T. H. Nosa In talking ahout the
ocal relief explained that -thero
was a committee of three men who
composed uu emergency commit
tee. This cummlttce made Investi
gations of all uppuals for help
and suw that all worthy cases were
taken care or.j He utso said that
In no case did anyone receive cash
money; hut Instead was supplied
with ' iiecessltleii ' of living until
such time ns the recipients could
care for themselves. j i
, The fact that DiiiAigh the Com
munity Chest comriilttees Rose
burg had 'absolute control- of all
bcnefitling organizations was point
ed out hy E. A. Hi ll ton. the local
scout executive.' Each organiza
tion must function properly in or
der to receive any benefits from
the Chest.
The drive for funds will hcgln to
morrow morning. Tell teams re
presenting ns many civic organiza
tions will tako Ihe field. - Each
team. will ho given a certain dis
trict With instructions to not only
see the proprietor of the business
establishment but every employee.
Each person contributing will he
given a window card which he
should hang In h,ls residence win
dow so that when Ihe residential
section Is solicited he will not be
asked the second time.
After having observed the work
ings of the Community Chest for
two years the business men of
Roseburg are thoroughly satisfied
hat tiie system Is sound nnd lh.it
the principle Is right. They nre
ready to greet the solicitors who
are also business men and pny
their obliuatlons to mankind in a
satisfactory manner.
One question some Ihe asking
now Is "How mueh should I give?"
This Is an Important nuestlon and
should he given consideration. In
reaching a conclusion it should he
remembered that one Is making
Just one pledge, of support which is
