THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thimd&y, April 9, 1959 On Sound Ground Th«* ('brookIr afnvrs that th^ action tak- by a jrroup of almut fifty ('Hnton citizens at a meetinjr Tuesday mormnjr in adopting a resolution to continue the annual oampaifm for funds for the Community ('best is sound from several standpoints. The meetinjr was called to determine whether to have one campaign spnosored by the Community ('best or many drives for funds. It was pointed out that several agen cies now affiliated with the Community ('best would withdraw in the near fdture. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that support for the one campaign would l>e given, anil that individual drives are looked upon with disfavor. The only exception that gained any sup port was the campaign for the March of Dimes, which continues its own drive. ^ . While passing the resolution to continue with the one main campaign in Clinton, it was stated that if those interested in agen cies not affiliated with the Community Chest desired to push such programs, it was their prerogative. But it was evident that such moves would receive little support in the community, especially from business houses and industrial firms. The Chronicle feels that from every prac tical standpoint support for the Community Chest and its one campaign for its agencies was well taken. It will eliminate the neces sity fur conducting about one solicitation each month during the year. People of the community would soon tire of such a situa tion and workers and contributors would re fuse to support several of the many cam paigns. That is a natural reaction when the public "gets fed up" with almost continuous drives for funds. And any agency that with draws from the Clinton Community Chest will find the going pretty rough.
