Community Chest
Is Mighty Asset

When President Truman of-
fically announced total victory
over the Japanese the nation
embarked on a two day period
of celebration. Victory over the
Japs meant that the horrors of
war were a thing of the past.
It meant that our boys would
soon be home to stay and that
families all over the world
would suffer no more the
agony of fear for the safety of
loved ones fighting in the far
reaches of the Pacific. But the
official proclamation of the
long awaited V-J day did not
mean the cessation of hostili-
ties against the homefront
problems of the care of the
sick and needy, Child Welfare,
Care of the Aged and the vari-
ous other social problems
which it is our civic duty to
combat with our understand-
ing and dollars! That's why we
must give more generously
than ever before to our local
community chest fund!

Your local community chest
performs a mighty civic func-
tion in which you can well be
proud of taking part. It
mothers those agencies its funds
in the names of Liberty, Justice
and Equality in order that
there may be a dearth of suf-
fering among the oppressed
and needy of this great nation.

You can't possibly give to a
better cause than that of your
local community chest. Your
contribution to the current
community chest drive will
provide medical attention in
the form of visiting nurses,
hospitals and clinics to your
less fortunate neighbor. It will
provide recreation and guid-
ance to children who are sadly
underprivileged and who
would never know the real
joys of childhood if the Y. W.
C. A., the Legal Aid Society,
Community Centers and the
Children's Aid Society. Your
dollars will do all these things!
They will go to the homes of
the aged and infirm and pro-
vide comfort, cheer and conso-
lation to motherless children in
the form of homes and guid-
ance. They will combat racial
prejudice and intolerance, but,
best of all, they will give you
the right to walk down your
street with a clear conscience
and a justifiable pride in the
knowing that you have done
your part in eliminating suffer-
ing and want in your own com-
munity!

Mothering numerous subsid-
iary agencies, the community
chest seeks your support, year-
ly, in order that you may give
to many worthwhile causes
through the medium of a single
contribution. Your community
chest fund eliminates the neces-
sity of numerous drives for op-
erating funds by many agen-
cies by covering their financial
needs through one all-out cam-
paign the success of which is
entirely up to you.

You were generous in war-
now is your chance to be gener-
ous in victory. Help abolish
needless suffering and misery
by digging down deep and giv-
ing more generously than you
ever did before to the current
community chest fund.

MISS TURNER GIVES
BOOK TO LIBRARY

We wish to thank Miss Ruby
Turner for her thoughtfulness
in donating a book to the li-
brary. The book is entitled,
''Sands of the Desert,'' by
Helen A. Carey.

The following quotation
gives an idea of the contents
of the book:
''Against a lurid background
in the wonderous beauty of
Africa, this swift-moving, ex-
otic tale of wild adventure and
tempestuous love throbs with
the primitive passion of desert
and jungle.''

Miss Turner is a resident of
Slater, and a former employee
of the Preparation Department.
She was among those who re-
ceived a scholarship from the
Slater Community Association
and attended the Opportunity
School held at Columbia Col-
lege, July 8th through August
4th.

OUR FAITH

Men say that hope will never
die
In hearts that have the will
to try;
They claim the flame of faith
is there
In men who keep it bright
by prayer;
And fame would bear them out,
it seems
For great men sacred keep
their dreams!

Oh, often have I heard it said
That opportunity is dead;
And this is true in cases where
The will to do is never there.
But men who dare for stars to
grope
Will reach the heights by
toil and hope!
- By Russell Doyle

tion our good supply of maga-
zines, which we believe will
prove helpful to both the
faculty and pupils. Our library
subscribes for practically
every magazine indexed in the
''Abridged Readers' Guide,'' a-long
with a number of others.
These magazines are filed for
reference, and should be quite
a boon for those working on re-
search themes or anything else
requiring material gleaned
from a number of sources.
Since periodicals carry the lat-
est word on current topics, it
is hoped that everyone will
take advantage of the splendid
magazine service we have to
offer.

The Community Library
stands ready to serve the school
in every way possible, and it is
hope that the combined facili-
ties of the school and Commun-
ity Libraries will give our
pupils the supplementary ma-
terials needed to round out a
successful year's work.

Howard.

The large and beautiful
floral offerings were a tribute
to the esteem in which Mr. Ly-
brand was held.

The sympathy of this entire
community is extended the Ly-
brand family in their bereave-
ment.

To be seventy years young
is sometimes more cheerful and
hopeful than to be forty years
old.
