When a wrong step or a twist of circumstance would have sent you down the ladder instead of up? There are thousands of men in Washington less fortunate than you who have .consistently gotten the wrong kind of “breaks.” The Com- munity Chest is their ray of hope—a means of getting started again—UP THE I2ADDER. This year the Community Chest faces a grave emergency. More thousands than ever before are in want—and every Washingtonian has a civic duty to perform and must perform it freely, fully, promptly. So we appeal to you to make this year’s contri- bution to the Chest a generous one © . . more generous even than you would have made it in a year of great prosperity. ~ Thousands will be saved from untold misery, if every gift is meas- ured by the need.
