Notbing but the personal service of thousands of devoted men and women can accomplish the upbuilding of health, of stamina and of char- acter.in these Iess-chance children of thenation. These devoted groups of men.and woffen'represent US- they -represent our social obligations-they MUST be maintained in their tasks. We can- noDt retreat f rom, these. obligations that WE have established. One cern- muiy nur sepreventà more crime than a, doen, policemen-eBy Scout troop will prevent more evil a dozen years from now than twenty ýpqlice courts.* ~These*,wards of the nation's heart-those who are hapidicapped at the beginning, those who meet misfortune or become diséouraged,on the. journey, are not the only beneficiaries of your help., Their's is the glad- nes fa hac ti if ,bt nTHEIR upbuilding the whole nation i :s strengthened. And, over -ail thisi,there, is a great spiritual return to those:,wýho H1ELP,, but of a thankful heart, that the burden ulpon the heavy laden may be.,ightened; that the feet of children may be set..uon th,! sure paths ofbealthi, of self-reliance and of happiness. In this giving, and receiving the nation grows stronger and its. face is set toward a brighter future. To you who are able and have not been left on the wayside-.to you we say that. your T1iink-sgiviflg this year will be far happier when you have said to yourself; "What is the MOST that I can contribute during the yeartotethe charitable an'd -soeial srvice a5gencies ha&t ake niy home town cf Wilmette and my nationl a better place in which to live?" -HENRY FOWLER, President, WILMETTE COMMUNITY CHEST, Ine.
