XVIII., NO. 24 WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, MARCH 1, 1929 PRESIDENT ORNER TO Organization Ready for Bia Fund Campaign Sunday, March 7, Now Complete By Hector Dodds BE CANDIDATE AGAIN (Pesident, Wilmette Community Chest Association) . The Wilmette Community Chest campaign budget for 1929 contemplates a fund of $35,000. This increase ·over the 1928 budget figure is attributable to a general increase in the various allotments to beneficiaries. There is, for instance, a large increase in the allotment to the Wilmette Local Charities fund which calls for a contribution of $5,000 in 1929 as against $2,500 in 1928, and $600 in 1926. One-half of the 1929 Local Charities allotment, or $2,500, will go toward establishing a revolving hospital loan fund to be made available to deserving families in the village who would rather die than accept charity, yet for whom a loan would provide adeQuate hospital care. I ncreaae for Scouts The Wilmette Boy Scout organization will benefit by an increase from $1,900 in 1928, to $3,750 in 1929 .. Infant Welfare and Arden Shore come in for allotments of $7,500 each, during the current year. The other beneficiaries will receive allotments identical with those made in 1928, with the exception of the East Relief. the fund for which is curtailed from $1,800 to $1,000 in view of the fact that its wo.-k is nearing completion.
