Half Community Chest drive continues with $8600 in today’s gifts
Plans to press on until the full $17,500 Community Chest goal are announced by Major E. S. Helbor, chairman. By 2:30 this afternoon $8,600 had been received as solicitors reported mixed success and several last year donors lowered or did not donate. The parade and pep meeting at Central School boosted morale while detour work and a legal injunction over a temporary bridge near East End dominated local planning.
