whose head offices are in its jurisdiction. The National Organization is
prepared to advise with the Chapters on such contributions and, when requested
by the Chapters, will be glad to assist them in securing adequate amounts
from such ae eorentone:

Where aceperehiene- baxe a aeatht or. ugane: of Seaksined ia bus: not the
head office in a given Chapter territory, such Chapter may solicit 'a contribu-
tion through. the branch office of the: corporation, but that Chapter should not
solicit the head office of the corporation for a contribution, nor. urge’ the
head.office to make allocations of the contribution. Experience has demonstrated
that undue or multiple solicitation or pressure from the National Organization
and several Chapters to secure contributions and the allocation of corporate:
contributions invariably produces an unfavorable impression with the contributor.

constitutes, in effect, an allocation of those larger contributions which must

should not itself initiate or urge allocations of contributions, and such
allocations will be made by the National Organization only when requested by
- the. SORE EIUSOR and in: egeqnlanee: weer ‘me GSutesoution indicated by the con-

urge a contributor to make, or to alter, the allocation of its contribution
because, if it urged an allocation in favor of ‘given Chapters, it would there-
by be proposing a reduction of allocations to other Chapters.
