Show Smoot Asks Southeast S. L. for Greater Community Chest Supvdrt Sugar House and Holladay Salt Lake City's most popular . and most pleasant residential areas still are inseparably linked industrially and "livelihood-wise" with thteir parent city. And with respect to health and welfare activities, the tie is ever more close. Those were the opinions voiced voic-ed today by Wendell Smoot, well-known Salt. Lake banker and resident of Holladay, in a plea for expanded suport from the two residential areas for the Community Chest of Salt Lake County. Long active in Community Chest enterprise and a booster of the "human welfare progress" pro-gress" engendered by the work of the 23 Red Feather agencies of the chest, Mr. Smoot averred that the interest of the more and more numerous residents of Sugar House and Holladay "demands "de-mands that tlie Red Feather receive re-ceive from them the same moral and - financial support rendered in Salt Lake City proper." Human Welfare Must Progress Vital, dynamic human health and welfare and character building services for Sugar House, Holladay and Salt Lake are the essentials rounding out the picture in the expanding industrial in-dustrial and business scene of the area, Mr. Smoot stated. "As thoughtful residents mindful of the fact that all aspects must be built simultaneously to realize I the ideal community, we must I recognize that human welfare must progress in equal measure with economic growth. "There is no satisfaction in the business o r industrial achievement that ignores the needs of its people and there is no satisfaction in giving only partial support to the Red Feather Feath-er agencies of the Community Chest, the agencies which see to it that we are not ignoring the needs of our people," said Mr. Smoot. Community Chest Needs Year-Round Support "Partial support we give once a year. That is the occasion of the fall fund drives of the Community Com-munity Chest. But it needs more than that: the year-round support sup-port of our communities. The Chest benefits everyone indirectly indi-rectly checking the spread of crime, social unrest, disease and deterioration of family life. It serves four out of ten families udirectly..attlifiagency of the area itself, with skillful, efficient effi-cient action unmistakeably declaring de-claring to those less fortunate that the community IS interested inter-ested in their welfare. "Everybody Benefits" ! "In addition, the Community; Chest of Salt Lake County is an efiective, capable organization created, financed and controlled by free residents, "Through it, as. the Chest slogan says, 'everybody 'every-body benefits,' " he said.
