To Spotlight

Seattle and the other communities of King County this week will honor thousands of its Good Neighbors—the volunteer campaign workers of the Community Chest who are giving up much of their personal time and effort to campaign from door to door on behalf of the 37 local Red Feather welfare and health services.

High point of the tribute will come Wednesday, Oct. 15, when the Community Chest designates its Report Luncheon as Ladies' Day, and turns the spotlight on the neighborhood volunteers.

The ranks of Community Chest campaign volunteers in neighborhoods, plants and offices throughout the county had grown to 12,000 as compared to the 8,500 workers who began the drive, as the countywide appeal rounded out its first week of solicitation.

Throughout the city and county citizens from every walk of life were proudly wearing their Red Feathers, either as volunteers or contributors to the great community undertaking.

Labor unions swung their full support behind the drive, and in plants and offices representatives of labor joined the representatives of management as co-chairmen of their individual firm campaigns.

The theme of the Ladies' Day meeting will be "Talking Through Your Hats," and all of the 350 women at the meeting will wear Red Feathers in their hats, symbolizing the service of the local welfare and health services and serving as a tribute to community leadership and achievement.

The meeting will be highlighted by a hat style show which will be judged by Mayor Devin, Nat. Rogers, Chest president, and Irving S. Smith, campaign chairman.

Chairman of the meeting will be Mrs. W. Walter Williams, past general of the Neighborhood Division.

Seated at the head table will be former past generals Mrs. W. T. Thompson, Miss Olive Kerry, Mrs. Floris Nagelvoort, Mrs. Robert M. Jones, Mrs. Forest Goodfellow, Mrs. Frederick Burwell, Mrs. Henry B. Owen, and Mrs. Joseph Mulder.

When a progress report on the first week of solicitation is called for, the spotlight will be shifted to the leaders of the different areas of the city in order to honor their volunteer solicitors. The leaders thus honored will be:

Community Spirit Is Remarkable,
Gratifying, Says Tony Allasina

In a fine example of community spirit and cooperation, the business district of the Jackson Street area reported 156% of its quota in the Community Chest campaign at the first report luncheon held at the Olympic Hotel yesterday, five days after the campaign started.

The area, which includes the businesses and residences located approximately between 5th and 12th Avenues and Yesler and Dearborn Streets and which is officially known as Section 10 of the downtown division in the Chest drive, was one of the first sections to report a high percentage of its quota.

"The record of this district is remarkable and gratifying," said Tony Allasina, lieutenant general for the section. "It shows that we have a group of people down here who are second to none when it comes to community pride and an interest in things which are worthwhile. The campaign has only just started and we know that our solicitors have many people to see. We hope to exceed this amount by a great deal before the drive ends October 27."
