Show On the Winning Side Three lusty cheers are in order For Forthe Forthe Forthe the first time in five years the Salt Lake Community Chest drive has gone over the top According to V W. A. A Huckins president president president dent of the Chest the fund now stands at which is some 70 more than the money needed to carry carryon on the Chests Chest's varied and vital health and welfare services in the county during this year The final push to get the drive over the top lop was given by a special committee of or business men headed by W. W V. V J. J OConnor O'Connor and Orval V. W. Adams Their work with a number of business firms and others succeeded in closing a gap of some by y which the Chest was short at the close of the drive Putting the Chest over over the top is something more than preventing a a. a crippling crippling crippling crip crip- pling curtailment of important health and welfare services which would otherwise otherwise otherwise other other- wise have been necessary There is an important morale factor involved too After four years of failing to make snake the grade many Chest leaders and volunteers were becoming rather discouraged There was almost a tendency to go into a campaign convinced that the goal couldn't be reached Likewise contributors contributors contributors con con- were encouraged to anticipate failure and put off giving or cut down the size of the requested contribution The whole thing tended to develop a defeatist attitude in the community relative relative relative rela rela- tive to the Chest But now thanks to a wonderful job of solicitation and leadership all through the regular phase of the campaign and the concluding top the special drive were we're on the winning side again We Ve will have victory back of us when we go into the campaign next fall And that will be an inspiration to all which ought to make it easier to put the drive for 1953 over |
