E. B. Manning explained that
the returned funds from Associated
Charities to the Chest were an ac
cumulation for the period of years
for 1939, 1940 and 1941.
The Trustees decided to invest
approximately $5,000. of the Chest
reserve funds in Defense Bonds
and authorized the Treasurer to
make the purchase.
The annual meeting was then ad
journed and the regular Trustees
meeting was held.
Norman Scribner, Boy Scout Ex
ecutive, was a visitor at the meet
ign and was introduced to the
Trustees.

was held and they are as follows:
E H. Graves, President; W. H.

Committee V. E. McDowell and C.
W. Davis appeared before the
Trustees and made a request for
$500. to be used for necessary ex
penditures. After discussing the
request pro and con the Trustees
decided that the Committee should
approach other sources as Chest
funds were donated for charitable,
philanthropic and character build
ing work and there was a question
whether this money should be
used for other purposes. However,
the Chest will reconsider the re
quest if it is necessary.
The meeting then adjourned.
