List Beneficiaries It was, decided by the budget coin- mittee of the Chest that the fol- lowing agencies shall participate ini the Chest funds this year: Wilmnette Welfare board. Arden Shore Reat Camp. Infant Welf are society. American Red Cross. Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts. Salwation AMmy. Volunteers off Amnrca. Illinois Children's Home and Aid society. Owiiûg to. the tragically destitute condition of a large number of Wil- mette families, and the fact that ini the village are numbers of others on the borderland of want, it was stipu- lated that the Wilmette Welfare board shall"be a preferred beneflcsary, to receive - irst aid, thus insuring that a generous proportion of the funds pledged by the villagers will be di- rected to meet urgent and strictly local needs. A quick. aggressive and thorough canvass of the entire village has been planned,. to the end that the work may be completed by December 2 and the money released on its mission *of aIle- viating human distress. among our own neighbors and. friends.
