The enthusiasm which has prevailed among those active in the plans gives promise that the drive will be a record one. Many features · have been ·arranged for the dinner, one of these being a talk by Dr. Allen D. Albert, who has handled more than twenty successful Community Chest drives in large cities. Dr. Albert's promotional ability is well known as is indicated by the fact that he has been named a member of the organization which is promoting the Chicago World's Fair to be held in 1933. Also, Dr. Albert, being a resident of the north shore, knows the pulse of Wilmette and his talk should be of particular interest to everybody. y....._ wo....

There will be ·a demonstration of clever salesmanship by some of the workers which will include the important business of ringing doorbells and walking away with subscriptions. But that is not all. There will be motion pictures depicting the actual work of the Arden Shore association, the Infant \Velfare Society and other Chest beneficiaries. Those who find working for a worthy charity creates an appetite will be weJI taken care of by Fred Miller of the Central cafeteria who will serve the repast at cost. Those in charge of the big drive urgently request those who haven·t already made their reservations for the dinner to do so at once to the Community Chest headquarters. phone Wilmette 63. or in the evenings to Miss Leah M.
