SECOND CHEST CAMPAIGN SET FOR MARCH 4-9 Office Opened In Hotel Ben Lomond; Eubank Retained Preparations were begun today for the second annual campaign of the community chest of Ogden, according to announcement of George S. Eccles, president of the chest. Campaign headquarters have been opened in the directory room of the chamber of commerce in the Hotel Ben Lomond. Tentative plans for the campaign contemplate that general solicitation will be made from March 4 to 9 to raise a budget of an amount that will meet the actual needs of the various participating agencies. EXCELLENT SHAPE. The board of directors of the chest met Monday night in special session. The third quarterly audit report of Scoffield, Wells and Baxter was presented and showed the chest to be in excellent condition, with no irregularities. By a report that was submitted by the executive secretary, it was indicated that uncollected pledges of last year will approximate less than five per cent of the total amount pledged a year ago, which it was said indicates the enthusiasm and complete co-operation of the public in the operation of the community chest during its first year. EXPENSE LOW. It was brought out by President Eccles that the total expenses of operating the chest, including administration expense, office equipment, rent, supplies, and cost of collecting pledges, will amount to only five per cent of total pledged amount. The board of directors confirmed the reappointment of Carlyle C. Eubank, as executive secretary of the chest. NIMS SELECTED CHAIRMAN OF CHEST DRIVE Committees To Be Formed In Campaign For Funds The selection of L. W. Nims as general chairman to head the Ogden Community Chest campaign for funds this year was announced today at chest headquarters in the Ben Lomond hotel by George S. Eccles, president of the chest. Immediate organization of the various committees which will function under Mr. Nims’ leadership will be made, Mr. Eccles said. In accepting the chairmanship of the campaign Mr. Nims said: “I do so with the full understanding of the great importance of this appeol for 1935 chest funds. The appeal for 1935 chest funds. The appad deserves the support of everyone able to contribute their support. As a community, too, we must realize that the need for social service is now greater than ever before and we should, therefore, lend our help.” “Federal relief,” Mr. Nims said, “however patterned and executed cannot take care of the entire need of the community in answering its requirements. Filling this gap is the obligation of the community itself and is a function and responsibility so well acknowledged and discharged int eh past by the seven agencies of the chest which will participate in the funds which are raised. I feel sure Ogden will rise to the occasion of its full support,” he said. REPORTS SHOW CHEST AMOUNT NEAR $20,000 Howell Urges Rotarians and Others To Give Liberally Announcement that $19,871.64 in cash and pledges had been gathered for the community chest fund was made this noon at the Ogden Rotary club luncheon, attended by many of the community chest workers. Many other contributions have not been reported and for two days more the drive will be continued to obtain a total of $35,000 for the chest. Various division reports were submitted at the meeting in the Hotel Ben Lomond. FROM PUBLIC OFFICES The police and fire department members have subscribed 100 per cent, according to announcement made, $888.16 being the total reported from city employes, $304.98 from county and $761.23 from federal. The roll call was directed by David Romney, vice chairman of the community chest drive committee. Attorney James A. Howell was the principal speaker. He urged Rotarians, as well as others to give liberally to the work, saying that the men had long left the charity work to women, but should assume their share of the responsibilities. He said the community chest work is “a fundamental responsibility of the entire community.” Commendation of the agencies listed for community chest funds was given by the speaker, who detailed many of the accomplishments of the seven welfare and charity organizations. George Eccles, chairman of the drive, in a brief talk said that “we feel the community chest drive is going over very satisfactorily.” TRIBUTE PAID Rotary President Gus Wright, presiding at the meeting, announced the death of Rotarian George Quilian, whom he described as “one of the best Rotarians I have ever known.

Guy Cardon district governor of Rotary, was a visitor at the session this noon. TO BUILD CHARACTER TO HELP THE NEEDY COMMUNITY CHEST YEAR REQUIRED FOR LAUNCHING CHEST SYSTEM Ogden Welfare Plan Will Be Built Thoroughly, Avers Andrews While the community chest plan for relief and welfare organization subscriptions has been adopted by the Ogden chamber of commerce, the mechanics of founding it are so complex that the plan will not get into operation before January 1 1935. This announcement was made this morning by Chairman J. H. Andrews, following a meeting of the chest committee. FAILURES CITED He pointed ou that community chest plans which have failed have done so largely because of faulty organization and declared the committee is anxious to avoid any such difficulty. It will therefore be necessary, Mr. Andrews said, for various charity and welfare organizations of the city to carry out their independent drives for funds for 1934, as usual. In the meantime the committee is writing to the community chest council for model constitutions and by-laws and other necessary information. Later, the committee decided, it expects to invite representatives of the various charities which would be qualified to participate in the chest plan to meet with it. Other members of Mr. Andrews’ group are D. S. Romney, C.H. B. Seybert, W. Karl Hopkins and Ralph Nye. Secretary E. J. Fjeldsted of the chamber met with them. The group today announced that it has added F. W. Meyer, secretary and auditor for the Ogden Union Railway and Depot company, who has had community chest experience elsewhere, to the committee.
