The 1927 Community Chest campaign starts March 20, according to Hector Dodds, secretary of the Wilmette Community Chest Association, Inc., who requests workers are asked to volunteer and all others are requested to ·be at home ready to receive the volun:teer workers on that date. Regarding the work last year, Secretary Dodd says : "While Wilmette did well last year, we must do better this year. Several charities greatly need larger allotments. The Florida tornado and midwestern flood relief compel the Red Cross to ask for more. The rapidity growing good work of the Salvation Army, the Volunteers of America and desperate orphans of the Near East, make it imperative that all old subscribers give a little more for 1927 and that manv new subscribers start with this splen-did civic endeavor. "Ninety-seven percent of last year's subscripitions to the Community Chest were paid before the beginning of the last month of our chest. year. All budcret allotments to various charities have been paid in full. Unexpected increase in local charity needs means that ~11 of the remaining three percent of sttll due subscripti:)ns shall go to · .it~cr~,ase P o:-, tal delivery sen·ice will he in- the allotment of our local chanttes.
