"Have a Heart" Is
Slogan for Chest
Contributors to Charity
Organization to Wear
Hearts on Lapels
"Have a Heart" will be the slo
gan of the 1939 campaign of the
Salem Community Chest.
This was the decision of the
Community Chest campaign com
mittee at its regular weekly
luncheon Monday noon at the
Quelle.
Last year the slogan was "A
Feather in Every Cap." The cam
paign was made colorful by the
distribution of red feathers, small
and large, to individuals and
firms. This year it will be equally
colorful due to the appearance of
red hearts throughout the city,
to be distributed on the same
basis.
The point is that any citizen
who "has a heart" will wear a
heart.
The campaign starts October 4.
The speaker's committee will ar
range preliminary schedules for
its speakers within the next few
days. Douglas McKay is campaign
chairman.
