THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Armed Men Guard Luncheon When Community Fund Reports

By JOE COLLIER

Inside, several hundred of Indianapolis’ leading citizens are having a meal. Immediately outside, two uniformed men stand alertly with shooting hands on pistols in their side holsters. A strange setup at best, and doubly intriguing when you consider it happens in one of the best known downtown hotels at high noon. What is it? Only a report meeting of .the Indianapolis Community Fund drive. As they file into the luncheon, for

which they buy tickets, the team captains leave with accountants outside their cash and pledge receipts which are promptly totaled. The cash—there is many thousands of dollars of it each reporting day—is immediately transferred to a central accounting table. At this table are the guards of the Merchants Delivery Service. Inside, the meal progresses rapidly, considering the number of persons served and the irregularity

with which they have arrived. Outside the adding machines are

clicking, the results are being tabulated, the cash is accumulating.

By the time the speaking is finished, the machines have reached the day’s final total, have added it to the previously pledged and collected total and have, in their wierd mechanical way, found the percentage of the goal already raised. The armed guards pack up the cash in the box and seal it with a special press seal they carry around for such occasions. A tally sheet is sent to the speakers’ table inside. The guards leave with the money which they put in an armored car.

The results are announced, with cheers and promises of renewed activity from the workers. The guards take the money to Fund headquarters, where it is again audited. The luncheon meeting breaks up.

One more milestone has been reached and passed in the Indianapolis Community Fund drive for 1941. As this particular meeting ended the report was: $67,617.69 reported pledged and collected yesterday; $323,107.89 collected and pledged to date, whicn is 46.9 per cent of the goal of $688,500.

‘My Age? Can't

Remember, Sir

A MAN WHO couldn’t remember his age posed a “fine” problem for the conscription registrars at 1005 S. Meridian St. “I think I am around 35 years of age. I may be older or younger, I don’t know,” the man told the registrar. The registrar consulted other registrars and it was decided to register the man as “under 35” and place a notation on the card that the registrant wasn’t. sure of his age.
