Pius For Commanity Chest Witt Be
Made At Mass Meeting Wed. Night
Plans for a Community Chest in
Farmville, or for one concerted drive
for funds each year instead of a mul
titude of campaigns for money, all of
Mw them being for worthy causes, were
discussed Wednesday night ait a
> ' meeting of representative citizens,
and will be continued next Wednes
day night at 8 o'clock at which time
interested citizens of'the town are
asked to assemble in a mass meeting
at the town hall.
Irvin Morgan, who presided at the
meeting Wednesday night after May
or Walter Jones had explained the
purpose of the gathering, appointed
John B. Lewis, Sam Bundy and Jones
as members of a committee which is
to make definite proposals and re
commendations at the forthcoming
meeting.
The town at present has a commit
tee that was named several years ago
to administer funds that were raised
in the U£JO drives. Morgan is the
head of that committee. Others who
have been serving with him are Cur
tis H. Flanagan, R. A. Joyner, Manly
Liles and C. M. Baylor.
Opinion has been expressed that
one central, concentrated drive for
funds, which, in turn, would be ad
ministered by a committee of respon
sible citizens, would be preferable to
the present system of having drive
on top of drive.
It is expected that the meeting
Wedeyadnn
Wednesday night will be well attend
