Statesman, Salem, Dec. 17, '67 (Sec. I) 5 Salem Joined United Giving 30 Years Ago; Leaders Still Active drive their divisions collected $210,000. Both men still participate in UGN activities. By 1963 many large West Coast cities were changing their united giving titles to United Good Neighbors.

That year the Salem program which in 1960 the first time, a single two-county drive was conducted. W. H. Hamilton was president of the first Community Chest organization. And Douglas McKay, who was later to be elected governor of Oregon and still later appointed U.S.

Secretary mitory room fixed up in the attic of Salem city hall to sleep the many transients who drifted through Salem in those depression era days. When the present-day heir to Salem's Community Chest organization, the Marion Polk United Good Neighbors, holds its report dinner Monday at 7 community's first united giving drive. That first drive was launched in October, 1937, over newspaper proclamations signed by Gov. Charles. H.

Martin urging the community to co-operate. 7 Agencies, $36,000 About $36,000 was raised to support seven agencies. They were Boy Scouts, YMCA, YWCA, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army and Hotel De Min-to. The last was a crude dor- ald Jones, Denver Young, Harold Tomlinson, Reynolds, Allen, Vernon Perry, W. W.

McKinney, John Steelhammer, Wheeler English, Roy Harland, Monroe Cheek and others. Many Worries Then The world was worried in 1937. War clouds were gathering. The Japanese-Chinese conflict was worsening. Lesser worries occupying the citizenry includes the whereabouts of the missing woman flyer, Amelia Earhart, and speculation over whether the invincible New York Yankees led by Joe DiMaggio, could beat the Giants in the World Series.

Unemployment was still a specter for many families. The rallying cry of the Community Chest was: "Our Responsibility is Our Neighbor's Need." Under this and similar banners citizens of this area in the past 30 years have raised more than $4.6 million as part of their responsibility to their neighbors in need. Briefs JOSEPH B. FELTON of Interior, was first campaign chairman. His widow, Mrs.

Ma-ble McKay, has been active in UGN drives for many years. Still in Action Herbert G. Barker, veteran Salem labor leader, and George L. Arbuckle, Salem businessman, were members of the 1937 nine-man executive board. Barker is currently a member of the UGN board.

So is Circuit Judge Joseph B. Felton who was a division team worker on that first drive. Rev. George H. Swift, now a retired Salem minister, was chairman of the 1937 speaker's bureau.

Charles A. Sprague, Statesman publisher and editor was chairman of the advance gifts committee. Sprague will be the speaker at next Monday night's UGN report dinner. Other men listed on workers' teams, and still active in the Salem community, include Tink-ham Gilbert, Gardner Knapp, Ralph Cooley, R. L.

at Prime Rib Riverside restaurant it will be revealed that approximately $350,000 was raised in this fall's campaign. This will help support .42 agencies. Consolidation Aim Purpose of the Community Chest program 30 years ago was to consolidate the individual annual drives being carried on by jsuch agencies as YMCA, Red I Cross, Salvation Army and Cath- olic Charities. I "Put all your begs in one askit," an enthusiastic speaker told a Community Chest kickoff meeting. Community Chest carried out its drives under that title unty the World War II year of 1943 when it joined forces with the Oregon War Chest in state wide campaigns to support the wartime United Services Organization (USO).

In 1954 the name was changed to United Fund. By that time the organization had grown to include a variety of child care, youth and social welfare agencies. Otto Wilson was first United Fund president and Elmer Berglund was the first UF campaign chairman. In that 1954 Debates in Secretary Race Likely A series of debates is expected between the two Republican candidates for secretary of state. At least House Speaker F.

F. Montgomery expects it. Montgomery, who is seeking the post held by Clay Myers, said he hopes to appear jointly with his opponent at least once a month until the May 28 primary. "I was delighted to hear that Myers has agreed to make joint appearances with me," Montgomery said. Myers said no arrangements have been made with Montgomery's office.

However, he didn't close the door to the idea. He said, "If I decide to run, I will be glad to discuss the subject." PLAZA GIFTS! DOWN J. K.
