THIS WEEK Note: Musical Scores to Each Picture Are Specially Selected by, Slischa Guterson. m 11 A. M. to 11 P. M. Survey of Workings of Plan in East Made. REPORT IS SUBMITTED THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST . 1, 1920 Rct. Mr. Handler Declares Irives Are Avoided and Number of Givers to Charity Increased. The economic value of the com munity chest system as worked out in some eastern cities, both to the public and the organizations that re reive the funds and bestow benevo lence is shown by the report which Rev. J. J. Handsaker has submitted to Mayor Baker. When the com munity chest idea was being investi gated several months ago, Mayor Baker ascertained that Rev. J. J. Handsaker was then on a trip cast and asked him to investigate the operation of the method in some cities of. the same class as Portland. This was done thoroughly by viss to Rochester, Cleveland and Detroit. The report is deemed of special import ance to the council of the Portland community chest by reason of the data as to the operations, of other cities and broad observations and ex perience of the meq who head some of the most successful organizations of the kind in the country. Harry P. Wareheim, secretary and manager of the Rochester chest, was found particularly well informed, having been a former secretary of the Young-, Men's Christian association loaned to manage the war chest cam paign which later developed the com munity chest as its successor. fiiorse Eastman is president and under his direction Mr. Wareheim has visited practically every city in the United States which has made either a not able success or failure of its com munity chest. Rev. Mr. Handsaker suggests that Mr "Wft-eheim b iu vited to visit Portland. 11S Drives Avoided1. "While recognizing that this move ment saves a multiplicity of drives." says the report, "still none "of these campaigns was put over on this neg ative proposition. However, the city of Rochester reports US drives avoid ed in two years. One man who thought the war chest a good opportunity for raising money fraudulently is now in the state penitientiary as a result of prosecution begun by the chest au thorities. Every community reports a large increase in the number of givers from year to year. A few years ago 6000 persons supported the Cleveland charities. This year 125 000 are contributing.

Shortly after the Cleveland campaign, the chest approved two building cam paigns, one for the Salvation Army and one for the Boy Scouts. The com - munity did not take kindly to these two campaigns nor to the action of the chest in approving them, as the community understood that no fur ther appeals would be made during the year. All three secretaries stated that this is one of their unsolved problems but they expected to sr've it. as they have ma iv other d ff i cilties. Confidence of Givers Stimulated. "The confidence of the givers has been stimulated by the low over head of the campaigns. Rochester's overhead of 2.7 per cent for tow years is taken care of by private contribu tions. Cleveland reports less than 1 per cent, all paid by intere&t on bank balances. Detroit is educating the public to the idea that expense is necessary and that it should be met as other expenses are met. "Summing up the relation to the giver, I find that it has greatly in creased the habit of giving, the num ber of givers, and the amount raised. Many report actual pleasure in giv ing, a sensation to which they were strangers under the old system. "Among the benefits to those who receive this fund is that they are able to use 100 per cent of their power in pulling their load, and do pot have to spend from 10 to 50 per cent of it in an effort to attract favorable attention from a reluctant community."
