INDIANAPOLIS COMMUNITY FUND Mobilization For Human Needs (Through the courtesy of a friend , this announcement is published at no cost to the Communitu Fund)

T\o You Realize the great calamity now threatening the 38 agencies de--Ly pending upon the Community Fund for help for the year beginning November 1? Do you know that the goal fixed at $824,462.00 is the absolute minimum within which these agencies can function next year and survive to the credit of Indianapolis? Do you also know that before this goal was fixed the needs of these agencies for material relief —food, fuel, clothing —had been discounted to the last dollar that can be obtained from the Federal Government, the State, or the County? Do you fully understand that any failure to meet this absolute goal of minimum needs —HUMAN needs —is a confession that this town has lost its interest in the most important investment that any community can make —in the development of character and the elements of useful citizenship in its children, and in the human welfare of its orphan children and the aged —both men and women—who no longer have the strength nor the chance to earn even a loaf of bread? Do you know that this measure of the absolute needs of the worthy people of this town who need help was fixed by the Board of Directors of the Indianapolis Community Fund? These men and women are: Arthur V. Brown, Pres . J. W. Fesler Fred Hoke Nicholas H. Noyes Roy E. Adams J. J. Fitzgerald Wm. H. Insley Mrs. P. C. Reilly A. E. Baker Mortimer C. Furscott Edward A. Kahn Curtis H. Rottger Arthur R. Baxter Howard T. Griffith Hugh McK. Landon Almus G. Ruddell James F. Carroll Thsodore B. Griffith Zeo W. Leach Thos. D. Sheerin Mrs. Brandt C. Downey Wm. A. Hacker Walter C. Marmon Elmer W. Stout G. A. Efroymson Clifford L. Harrod Samuel Mueller Miss Gertrude Taggart Guy A. Wainwright C. C. Winegardner

DO YOU KNOW that the goal was set by the Board of Directors after a conference with the Budget Committee? Members of the Budget Committee are: J. \V. Fesler, Chairman Wm. H. Insley Roy E. Adams Samuel Mueller Mrs. James F. Carroll Almus G. Ruddell Dr. Stanley Coulter Thomas D. Sheerin Mrs. .1. J. Daniels Warrack Wallace Mrs. Brandt C. Downey Dr. R.

_ THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

The Budget Committee spends practically the entire month of December each year in a most careful study of the needs of every agency in the Fund before making allotments of money raised in the preceding campaign. Has any citizen of Indianapolis—man or woman—any right to turn his back on such needs or quit until the needs are met? Unless these needs are met now we will pay more. For a town must take care of its social obligations or pay the price later, including a penalty. This emergency is as dire for Indianapolis as any emergency in the Federal government today. t For three years the Community Fund has made life possible.for thousands of our own citizens. This year we must make life not only possible but worth living. Have you done your*part—your full share? Have you subscribed to the extent of your ability? Have you satisfied your conscience in this matter? If not, telephone Riley 2406, Indianapolis Community Fund, and someone will call at your home or office within 15 minutes. Do it NOW!
