Dear Mr. Rogers: On the eve of this, our Community Chest canfpaign for 1931, may take occasion express my interest in the high type of service carried on by the five agencies of the Chest and my commendation and endorsement of the and timebusiness-like method of soliciting, caring for and distributing funds. At a time like the present, it is more important than ever that we adequately support and maintain our welfare agencies--the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and the Social Service League, well knowing that during the coming winter their resources will be sorely taxed.

The character building work and training of the Boy Scouts and the Y. M. similarly are services which should be carried on without interruption or hindrance from lack of funds. I believe the citizens of Jacksonville, recognizing this need for funds, the intelligent manner of caring for and expending them, and the splendid and necessary work carried on by these five agencies will rally to the call for funds. beyond here Sincerely, CHARLES RAY GRUNY.
