Show i THE CITIZEN 16 THE MAN ABOUT TOWN of those who so willingly word for this worthy cause. It has been stated, and it cannot be denied, that there art at least 15.000 families that could contribute to the Community Chest Of course some are able to and should contribute more than others. Take however, 15,000 families as a basis, they could be capitulated as follows: TALKS ABOUT THE COMMUNITY CHEST The" drive is over and everyone who worked and everyone who contributed is entitled to the praise and appreciation of the community for the effort made toward the success of this most worthy enterprise. The thought lias been in my mind for some time however, that there must be some way in which the great burden upon the workers could be lessened and the work more evenly and equitably distributed over a far greater period of time and I believe with far greater results. There are some points in the organization of the enterprise which I do not believe are thoroughly understood by many of its supporters. Each and every contributor is entitled to a voice or vote in the management of the Chest. Each contributor irrespective of the amount of his contribution is entitled to a vote for the selection of a Board of Directors. Whether he exercises this right or not rests entirely with the person himself. What I want to impress is that the directorate is not a self perpetuating body. They have, because of their great interest in the work, given of their time, their money and their effort to accomplish their objective, and the thanks and appreciation of the entire community is due and should be whole heartedly extended to them. This article, therefore, must not be considered in any sense a criticism, in the slightest degree, but rather an honest effort to suggest a plan, tending to lighten the burden ivHiii HOTEL New house SALT LAKE CIT.

It would then, allowing this deduction, work out as follows: 4000 4000 1600 2400 12000 ' at $25 $100,000 at $2H80,000 - at $10 16,000 at $5 12,000 $208,000 This doesnt seem on the face, to be too high a mark to shoot at. Now, does it? How are we to reach this number of people. Surely we cant do it in a weeks time. Thats a physical impossibility unlesl you have an army of workers. We can see then that if we distribute 12,000 over a period of a year we have 1000 per month, or about 40 a day excluding Sunday. I believe there were about 600 workers during the last drive. Divide these in squads and we have 12 squads, divisions or whatever name you want to call them, of 50 people iu each squad. Each of these squads can be assigned one month of the year to work. Each member of the squad therefore has only one person a day to enlist as a member of the Chest, with dues payable as decided upon; Or perhaps better, keep the entire army of 600 intact and each one can and will pledge. 2 new members a month. Then have the new members pledge one additional member and see how fast the plan will gather momentum and how quickly you will exceed .anything that has ever been done in this line in the community. There are eighteen organizations in the Community Chest Budget. A $25 membership means a little less than $1.50 to each charity, a $20 membership about $1.10 to each, a $10 membership about 55c and a $5 membership about 25c to each charity for a years contribution. In effect the plan contemplates an organization functioning the entire' year. Not a drive under pressure. Not a fight against last minute obstacles that often do arise but a highly efficient organization with a defi nite and effective plan and a definite goal to reach in a definite time. Who will do this organizing? The answer is apparent, and the officials of the Community Chest will agree: the women, with the men standing behind and helping and assisting, but always in the background. I could name dozens of women admirably fitted, who, I believe, would gladly give their time and effort to accomplish some such plan as this. Mind you, I do not attempt to say this is the plan in detail that should be adopted. It is merely a skeleton of what in my opinion, should be perfected. I would like to hear the opinion of women like Mrs. Lynn Thompson, Mrs. Clem Schramm, Mrs. Edgar A. Bering, Mrs. Daniel Alexander, Mrs. H. Boss Brown, Mrs. Gibson A. Berry, Mrs. Fred E. Smith, Mrs. H. C. Goodrich, and the many, many other women who have shown a remarkable interest in this work, and if they agree in the main with the plan as outlined, I will feel sure of its success.
