Miss Lawrie also said that the

Another recipient of the AUF
drive is the Community Chest. The
Chest is a cooperative organization
of citizens and social welfare
agencies which promotes the social
welfare and health of the com
munity by coordinating existing
programs of service, preventing
duplication, conducting research,
and dclevolping better public un

There is a Community Chest in

50 thousand population or greater.
The National Paralysis fund and
its 2,771 chapters are dedicated to
the conquest of the dreaded dis
ease. Medical, hospital, nursing
and physical therapy services are
made available to those stricken
with polio through the National
Foundation.
Thousands Stricken
More than 80 thousand Ameri
cans were stricken by infantile
paralysis during the five-year
period from 1943 through 1947.
Part of the AUF funds will go to
this life-saving organization.
American contributions have
helped 32 private Negro colleges
keep open during the pa.4 four
difficult years. In all likelihood,
these Negro colleges would have
been closed had it not been for the
United Negro College fund's ap
peal to the American people, an
appeal that has been answered.
These four organizations will
benetit from your contribution to
the AUF. When a solicitor calls on
you, don't pass the buck, give it.
