Community Chest

Each time an appeal is made in Williams Lake to aid
some worthy charity, we wonder why the town doesn’t follow
the lead of other centres in the country and forma Community
Chest. Two years ago We editorially suggested the formation of
this centralized organization, and although the seed seemed
to fall on barren ground at that time, each year since a few
more people have started advoeating its establishment,

Just how does a Community Chest work?

Reduced to its simplest terms, the chest membership is
Made up of any citizens who are interested in helping to put
its principles into actual practise. Out of the membership,
committees are formed to evaluate the applications of charit-
able organizations that wish to participate in the distribution
of funds collected; to formulate a budget that it is felt the com-
munity can afford, and to annually stage a drive to collect the
necessary funds. F

To the average private citizen who is asked every month
or so to dip into his pocket for a contribution to various causes,
the Community Chest has several distinct advantages. In tha
first place he is ony asked once, instead of a number of times
annually, to dipinto the family treasury (exceptions to this are
those groups who refuse to participate in the Community Chest,
but prefer to carry-on individual campaigns). In the case of
charitable appeals of doubtful value, he can point out with all
fairness that if the Community Chest does not agree to placing
the appeal within the framework of its organization, he does
not feel justified in contributing. et

To the group of community workers who are continually

~ being called upon to do the footwork necessary for the present
multiple appeals, the Chest organization would emerge as an
opportunity to save the wear and tear on their time and bunions
by concentrating on one effort.

We believe the idea is worth considering. <

What Did Happen?

Whatever happened to the Village Hall rental question?

The last we heard of the Commissioners’ attempt to
Squeeze out $5 a meeting night from organizations using the
Village Hall, the letters of protest were quietly tabled with
the tacit understanding that ‘something would be done.’ We
could be wrong, but we believe that those protests are still
gathering dust and the hall rental is still in effect.

Whether the question is decided in favor of the various

oganizations, that is, cancelled; or if the.letters of protest are

to be ignored an

“What happened about the hall rental?” he wanted to know.
The flurry of indignation caused by its adoption had caught

his eye and he had been wondering ever since what the
eventual outcome was.

THIS WEEK’S CROSSWORD

From Another Viewpoint

“ELECTIONS

GRT UGLY”

Gn the Abbotsford-Sumas-Matsqui News)

Prior to the conclusion of thet

Alberta’s Premier Manning; con-

United States presidentiai election |ducting a fundamentalist revival tour

columnist Walter Lipman was moved
to remark:

“This has been an ugly campaign,
much too ugly. We haye heard the
president of the United States inti-
mate that the conqueror of Hitler is
soft about the Hitlerian racial and
religious doctrine. What, in heay-
en’s pame, has happened to us? What
have we done that our publie life
should be so defiled, so debased? One
of two fine men will be the next
president of the United States. Is it
not intolerable that on his way to
that high office he should have to
suffer the indignity of having to de-
fend, not his political beliefs, but the
very honor of his soul?” |

These were plain words, fortun-
ately spoken to the American people |
by a noted American.

Yet during the past week we in
Canada have come perilously close
to-some of the same. National leader
of the CCF party, M. J. Coldwell, in
Voicing criticism of Social Credit |
leader Solon Low, drew the ire of |
British Columbia’s Premier W. A. C. |
Bennett. Charges of smear and coun-
ter smear filled ‘the metropolitan
press. to no particular constructive
purpose.

in eastern Canada, was questioned by
The Financial Post on the purity of
his motives. Was he, that journal
wished to know, electioneering under
a cloak of religion?

With 1 drawing closer, it is to
be hoped our Canadian politicians
will take a lesson from the unpleas-
ant page on which the history of the
recent U.S. election is written. Issues.
not personalities, should occupy the
attention of voters. Politicians would
be well advised to raise their own
standards to the levol the ayerage
voters would prefer them.

Premier Manning's religious jun-
ket to the east is an unimportant
issue. If he neglects Alberta’s public
welfare in the process, the voters of
that province may be left to deal with
him. Mr. Bennett's personal opinion
of Mr. Coldwell is similarly irreley-
a

nt.
|. What Social Credit, or the -CCF,
or the Liberals, or the Conservatives
would do for Canada if entrusted
with power next year is the matter
of concern to Canadians.

The sooner the partisan enthusi-
asts conduct their public eppeals on
that principle the better Canadian

in

Averagetown,

Canada

If you live in an average Cana-
dian community, you can easily
see that it’s changing.

Everywhere you look, new
construction tells a story of
progress. Here, perhaps, is a
handsome new -store. There, 4
new bridge, office building,
power plant, highway, housing
project — or some other vital
development that makes life
better for all.

But do you know that many
of these developments are made
possible by a certain Key Man?
And can you guess who he is?

He's the typical life insur-
ance policyholder—represent-
ing millions of Canadians.

How can he do all this just
by owning life insurance?

Because a large part of his
premium dollars is- invested
for him in sound securities
which help finance many such
projects. Each year, more than
million life insurance dol-
rs are put to work in these
useful ways from coast to coast!

The life insurance policy-
holder is a helpful citizen in
another way. For the money he
puts aside for the future helps’
safeguard his family from ever
becoming a financial burden
to others.

AJL in all, he’s an asset to his
community and the nation!
