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.
