Medford's Community Chest And 17
War Agencies Coming To You For
Funds ... Now They've Been
Unified Into One Big FUND ...
Here's the Story!
Wherever the Jap or Nazi boot hat marched, it has crushed under its
heel the homes, the food, the bodies, the hopes, the souls of men, women
and children
These men, women, and children are our friends, our allies, and. it is
inconceivable that we would not extend them all possible help. It is in
conceivable too that we would not help American . fighting men who
have gone forth to bring freedom back to the world, and the families
these men have left behind them.
This we have done. Agencies have been formed to provide aid to our
friends, our own fighting men here and across the world, and the needy
here on the home front. -
. There were many of these agencies; there had to be. They all had to '
come to you for money and your heart could say "no" to none. But it
was confusing. ,
Eliminating the Confusion
Now, in order to eliminate that confusion, a very sensible thing has been
done, Seventeen national war relief agencies have been combined with
Med ford's Community Chest into one campaign, into the National War,
Fund. You give to this unified fund, and you have given to 17 agencies. '
You give once, for all these!
The National War Fund now combined with OUR Community Chest,
is officially endorsed by the President. It has the backing of the Gov
eminent as an improvement over the old confusing way of raising
money. It permits you to budget your; wartime giving more easily. It
makes sense. . -
Yet it does not intrude upon the autonomy of any of these agencies.
The USO, China Relief, British War Relief, and all the others will be
left under their present efficient and experienced direction. They will
be freed from the task of raising money, and have time to devote full
time to their good works, and you will not have to dig down so often,
that your pocket becomes frayed at the edges.
; ...... . . ... , . ....
Round the World and at Home
The money you give will work round the world. It will also go to work right in your
own neighborhood; for the National War Fund appeal ha been combined with that
of our own local agencies of the Medford Community Chest Part of it will be used for
the families of men in the service, for the children of parents at war work, for the
social services needed to keep a community at war healthy and efficient.
