Eldora Community Chest falls short of goal
The Eldora Chest drive raised about 4000 of a 6500 goal amid 600 donors giving mostly small gifts. Ward receipts totaled 676, 584, 552, and 674 with business calls adding 1192 before house-to-house efforts. Chairman Lester Ose praised the campaign but cited donation amounts as the shortfall, and cleanup work may add 300 to 400 more. The committee plans to wind up the campaign with agency cuts based on requests versus funds raised.
