(AN EDITORIAL) ITH less than 48 hours to go, Indianapolis’ United War Fund still is hundreds of thousands of dollars
short of its goal.
That goal is not just an arbitrary figure, ‘set down as something that might be nice to have. It is the carefully planned, sharply trimmed budget of vital services to this community for a whole year. It is the smallest
amount of money on which the job ahead can be done.
If7it ia not reached, part of that job won't be done. : Campaign workers, busy with a thousand other war- + time duties, have made a tireless and valiant effort” to cover the city. It was a wise move to extend the time for solicitation until they can complete this tremendous task, under the handicaps of wartime manpower shortages. In any event, this drive must not fail.
