Tt would telp combat the growing dangers of inflation. Mr. Drew said in an address that savings proportionate to those outlined for the United States Government by the Hoover Commission could be made by Ottawa without inter- fering with necessary services and defence expenditures. Mr. Drew was attending the open- ing of the first Saskatchewan school of Young Progressive Con- servatives. "It is time the people who run | insurance companies and banks, and | those who depend upon them, asked | the Government to check inflation | and preserve thé value of the dol- lag," he said. | were more | load. Don Allman, Rev. John K. Moffat, [Toronto Pastor Tells Canvassers Of Responsibility "Don't forget you are making a personal effort for people who need your help. Unless we do this and continue to do this we could lose the freedom we have treasured--our democratic way of life," Rev. W. J.

President, was the in a campaign to raise $102,500 in Oshawa's tenth Red Feather Community Chest drive. Canvassers were asked this | year to increase the total by 20 per | cent in order .o provide funds for | the sixteen benevolent organiza- | tions which are, to a degree, de-| pendent - Upon the Community Chest. City Has Great Potentialities Oshawa had concentrated in it, | said Dr. Johnson, who has been a | former Lieutenant Governor of the Kiwanis Club, potentialities and | powers contained by few other cities | in the country: It has literally "put | Canada on wheels". However, des- pite its prosperity and wealth, it contained many people who were poor; it contained many people who | were physically unable to look after | themselves and who needed help; it provided this year by William By | opening gun ! cor tained many people who centained, above all, thousands and ! thcusands of boys and girls. It was to assist all i+ these three categor ies that the oranizations aided by the Community Chest did their work. A lot of people needed a strong arm in time of need and it was just such organizations as the sixteen who were there to provide it. "What you are doing", the speak- er, whose Irish birth was betrayed by a soft brogue, said "is providing ainmunition for the 16 agencies who are working on the front line in the war against poverty, disease and misfortune--the enemies of this city and the people in it. "If you don't supply the ammu- nition these agencies will not be able to carry on, and failure will result." Warns of Timorous Approach Canvassers were told by Dr. Johnston that they should not be timorous in their approach to po- tential donors. Firstly they were expected--the people of the com- munity had been prepared by a "barrage of publicity". They should bz: confident and prepared to sell themselves firstly on the idea be- kind the Community Chest. If they dia this there was little doubt that they would sell the people they ap- proached. ? "After all you are not asking any favours for yourself", Dr. Johnston declared. "You are giving people a chance to do something for them- selves. What about the bells which ring in Heaven when you give these people a chance to be generous. No one, after all, can be generous and not get some reward from that ocher world about which we know so little. Christ, remember, was at His best and His highest when he was giving Himself. It is that fact of giving that we. particularly re- member about Him". Nothing was so wonderful in this world as giving and canvassers, in their approach to people were only asking for causes which were Worthy. "You may save somebody's soul by giving him the opportunity to display a little generosity. It is not beyond the bounds of reason", the speaker said. Get Right to Work Dr. Johnson advised against pro- crastination or delay. He advised his liseners to get right to work. The deeper implication of the Community Chest lay in the fact that people were being asked to give. There was a world struggle. in progress today between the forces of democracy and those of commu- nism. The trend in the national life of governments over the past 15 | people were robbed completely of | didn't even have the freedom to practice charity. It was not at all| teat such things could happen | good. | Not For Themselves Campaign Manager Murray John- ston said that the problem this! year was to increase the "take" by twenty per cent. Remember, he warned the canvassers, that when you go out you are not ask- ing for yourselves. No one derived anything in the way of money from the campaign except the agencies but the individual can- vassers and officials did derive a lot in the way of human contacts. The Greater Oshawa Community Chest was getting larger and better and easier to organize every year Mr Johnston said. That was be- cause a certain measure of educa- tion was being achieved.
