Dear Facujty. Membery, |

May I paraphrase the old English slogan, "There will always be an England"
with "There will always be an America and an England," Home and neighbor are
the warp and the woof of American virility and democratic hospitality, We
recognize the needs of our neighbors and we unfailingly respond to these needs
founded upon helpful services

The Community Chest idea is founded upon the principles of democracye Fach
of us give to a fund where all beneficiaries are aggregated and one single driwe
is made, . For some of these activities it is thinkable that we would have no con#
tribution; for others we give annually. A budget has been made and I am enclosing
it herewith to show you the beneficiaries of the plane

The Lawrence, Kansas Community Chest Campaign is to be inaugurated on
October 29, 50 and 31. The Community Chest is an incorporated body authorized
under the Laws of Kansas with a constitution and by-laws, The officers are
Mr..George Lowman, Prof. JeOe. Jones, Messrs. Ruben Fox, FeC, Whipple and
Charles Louke Ag

The total budget for Lawrence this year is $7546~¢00, The Christmas Pros
gram and the Fourth of July Celebration are listed separately and are not incore’
porated in the financial estimates on this statements; rather, there will be a
perforated card attached, The giving of funds for these two items will be
entirely optional. |

You ean see by the list enclosed that the KeU. "Y.M." and "YW." are not
included, The executives stated that it was their hbpe next year to have these ©
two hill organizations includede The Red Cross does not wish to be ORANG
I understand their organization is opposed to such an arrangement.

Doubtless you have been reading of the Kansas City, utecours Community
Chest Campaign, and have noted the splendid response they have been making te a
worthy cause There will be no pressure exerted here in Lawrence on anybody by
anyones In fact, we desire you to give only as your @onscience and your pocketbook
dictate. Chancel lor Malott has approved the Community Chest drive here on the ——
