The Fifteenth Indianapolis Community Fund campaign, designed to meet the human needs of the city’s less fortunate for the next year, closes tomorrow night. Any failure to meet this absolute minimum goal of $727,217.00 means that the thirtysix Community Fund agencies providing the following services are threatened with a calamity:

Indianapolis can not lose interest in the most important investments that this 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.

Care of families where unemployment is not the major problem. Protection and care for stranded girls and women. Services for unemployed and part-time employed girls and women. War on delinquency.
