. Coming Year
The goal for the 1945 campaign
of the Greensboro Community
and War chest has been
' set at $202,763.by the board of
directors, according to an announcement
from George E.
Perrin, president. Mr. Perrin
explained that this will be the
only campaign any of the 13
local and 19 national war relief
agencies will make in Greensboro
during the coming year.
Mrs. Julius W. Cone, chair
man of the budget committee
of the Community and War
chest, stated that $87,522, or
43c out of the dollar had been
allocated to the local agencies;
$80,650, or 40c to the war relief
and war aid agencies of the
national w arfuud; $8,158 or 4c
to administration which includes
year-round direction of t h e
chest, budgeting .accounting,
collection of pledges, and general
supervision of the agencies;
$3,000, or lVfcc for yearround
interpretation and public
relations; $5,000, or 2% for "
campaign expenses and $18,433 ,
* or 9 c for shrinkage to cover I
non-collection of pledges due to
death, induction into the armed
forces and people moving from
the city. '
Although the local agencies
requested a total of $101,340,
their allocations for next year
total $87,522, or an increase of
$3,814 over last year's appropriations.
Edwin F. Lucas, in
discussing the' budgets for the
local agencies, said that it was
the feeling of both the board of
the Community chest of which
he is chairman, and the Community
chest budget committee
that they should abide by the
decision of the budget committee
of the Community and War
chest, to hold the campaign goal
to around $200,000.
"This would not be possible,"
Mr. Lucas said, "if we granted
all * V, ,, -aaxa-l- -11 * *- - '

agencies. In a few instances, we I
authorized the expansion of pro- i
gram, such as the employment (
of a Negro Boy Scout executive, '
but in most cases the agencies i
will not be able to increase their 1
| staff or enlarge their programs 1
to any considerable extent. They
will, however, be able to do a (
satisfactory Job with the bud- '
' gets which have been approved." '
