the annual United Chest drive gets
under way next month?we can at least portray
some of the typical services performed
so tirelessly by some of these agencies. And
we can review our own position as citizens,
and as fortunate employees of one of this
area's most important industries, in relation
to the United Chest.
We might start with the premise?a premise
in which all God-fearing people believe
-that we ARE our brothers' keepers. We
might also soberly consider that the misfortunes
and disasters that have befallen
some of our fellow employees and their
families may also befall lis at any time. . .
and apply the Golden Rule to that picture!
In other words, we DO have the responsibility
to maintain the welfare of men,
women, and children in our communities
who through capricious or sudden misfortune
are barred from the opportunities to
adequately provide for their own life and
healthy development.
While many volunteer workers and others
contribute their time?a valuable commoditv
in itself?to the efforts of the United Chest

organization, their work would be in vain
without our contribution of financial help.
The rising costs of living with which we are
so familiar affect the budgets of the Salvation
Army, Boy Scout and Campfire Girls
Work, the Crippled Children Society, the
Laurens County Cancer Society, and all the
T 1
utner unuea L-nest agencies the same as our
own. It takes MONEY and lots of it to be
our brothers' keepers!
Nearly all of us can figure some way that
we can afford small monthly installments
once in a while on a new outboard motor,
television, or some other luxury. And monthly
contributions to the United Chest can be
arranged this year even more "painless"
than that. It can be arranged as a payroll
deduction.
And besides that?it's not a luxury!
The aid provided by United Chest agencies
to those that need it so badly would
never be regarded as anything but the direst
necessities in our lives?and there are probably
not many of us who manage our own
personal finances and budgets with the careful
scrutiny and frugality as those who will
manage the funds we contribute.
Let's keep thinking about this next month
when the solicitors in our departments here
at Clinton and Lydia see us about our contribution
to the United Chest.
