CG WOULD END ‘DRIVES’ Officers, Budget Committee and By-laws to Be De- cided on March 16 Plans for the organization of a Community Chest, to furnish funds for all welfare societies of the city | through a central organization, were | announced today by the Association of Commerce, following a meeting last Friday. Decision to try the plan here was reached after nearly a year of in- vestigation hy _a committee composed af Judge A. M. Christianson, Miss Mary Cashel and Dr. H. A. Brandes. The committee communicated with cities the size of Bismarck all over the United States to ascertain how the Community Chest plan has fune- tioned and what benefits could be obtained from such a plan. Replies showed enthusiasm over the project and, after working ‘out details of the matter, the committee made a favorable report to ithe bi of directors of the Association. Important Project Sentiment at group meetings held earlier this year to determine the vities project for the year 1927 as favorable to the Community Chest plan, many members including the project as the most important to be carried out this year. The idea of the community chest is to co-ordinate all welfare and relief agencies of the city, to finance them by,ome campaign, putting an end to the “numerous “drives” conducted every year previously by individual | organizations. To determine the amount to be al- lowed each organization under the chest plan, a budget committee, con- | ing of five business and profes- | sional men, will be chosen to decide the amount to be allotted each or- ganization taking part in this project. Agencies Approve Plan All organizations deciding to come in under the Community Chest will be required to submit a budget of proposed expenditures for the year and amounts used in past years and must agree to abide by the decisions, of the committee as to the amount to be allowed, Agencies which already have an- nounced their willingness to accede to the plan are the Red Cross, the Sal- Army, Boys Welfare Work, le Band, Women's Community » the Boy Scouts and the Humane Society. At 4 meeting to be heJd the evening of March 16 at the Assocation of Com- merce rooms, the officers of the Com- munity Chest, including the budget committee, will be chosen and by-laws will be formulated, Invitations to attend the meeting will be extended to the public in gen- eral and to the various organizations which usually take part in “drives” : the service clubs and lodges. At this meeting, a date for the chest drive will be set, SINCLAIR ON TRIAL TODAY FOR CONTEMPT Appears in Court on Indict- ment as Result. of Refusal to Answer Questions Washington, March 7—(#)-—Anoth- er of the many Segal Prosecutions that budded from the sente oil in- vestigation came to fruition today when Harry F.

G. Sorlie as an incident to the better seed movement. The proclamation des- signates the week of March 6 to 12 as “seed preparation week”. and points out that seed of good var- iety, free from foul seeds, shrivel- ed kernels and disease, is most vigorous in germination and of- fers better prospects of w profit. able crop, The leading work in the campaign will be done by extension workers from the schools of agriculture and by the county agents, who will he agsisted by various local organiza- tions. The plan of procedute is to have the local grovp organize r-cet- ings of farmers during the week, at which time the county agents or ex- tension workers will“give demonstra- tions in how to treat seed grain so a: to prevent grain smut on the crops. “Farmers are losing about $15. 000,000 a year in the rane from smut losses,” said E, man of University Farm. “The greater part of this loss ean easily be prevented by treating the seed before planting. It was decided to hold this smut r~evention week at this particular time in order to re- mind the farmers that now is the time to treat their seed, so that it will be; ready by seeding time.” Besides the four colleges, other agencies are cooperating in the drive.! They include the Duluth Board of; Trade, and seven railroads. Goodwill Plane Is Slightly Damaged in - Fall.
