ASKS CITIZENS BACK RED FEATHER DRIVE My Fellow Citizens: Once again let the people of Oshawa live up to their reputation of generosity and concern for the needs of oth- ers, Time and time again we have proved our desire to make our community a fine place in which to live and bring up our families by our response to the appeal of the Community Chest, Some 22 local agen- cies -- two more than last year -- ask our help for worthwhile projects for the young and the old, the sick, the destitute, the handi- capped, and those unable to stand up to life without a helping hand. These agen- cies come to us for assist- ance and encouragement every day, and they give it on our behalf. The Greater Oshawa Com- munity Chest deserves the: support of each of us, Let us respond quickly and gener- ously to the needs of those Jess fortunate than our- selves. Through one contri- bution we can help many otiers to lead a happy, use- ful life. COL.
