Procope, Minister of Finland, who was in New York, sald Please accept my deepest con- | dolence in the great loss you have | sustained through Newbold Noyes'| death.” Eugene Meyer, publisher of the Washington Post, telegraphed The Star from New York “Permit me to express to the offl- | eials and staff of your paper my heartfelt sympathy on your great| loss in the passing of your distin-| guished associate, Newbold Noyes.| I was happy to find myself asso- ciated with him in work in the community interest. He was always | intelligent, constructive and effective in the part he actively contributed to discussions and decisions.” Among messages of condolence reaching The Star was one from | George P. Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, and former publisher of the Washington Times Clvic Work Praised. From Herbert L. Willett, jr., tor of the Community Chest, came & letter expressing his own senti- ments and those of officers and trus- tees of the Chest. Mr. Willett said “Newbold Noyes had a unique place in the social welfare activities of Washington. He helped to organ- 1ze the Community Chest; he was an outstanding volunteer solicitor in the campaigns; he was chairman of the Advanced Gifts Unit, chair- man of the fifth campaign, and president of the Chest in 1933-4. In | every one of these capacities he made an outstanding contribution | and the imprint of his personality is found in many phases of the present Chest program. “For years he was an active mem- ber of the Executive Committee, | regular in attendance and effective in his presentation and advocacy | of the principles for which the Chest | stands. When he differed he was | forceful, but fair and considerate of another point of view. Always | he insisted upon the utmost candor and openness in the conduct of Com- munity Chest affairs. Unstinting in Help. “Perhaps it was as the man we could always reach by telephone, in his office. or at home. when we needed counsel or help on some spe- | cific problem, the man who was quick and decisive in his thinking and unstinting in his help, that Mr. | Noyes will be especlally missed. * * * “He believed in social work, not as a sentimental and emotional | expression of sympathy for peo-| ple in need, but as a humane and intelligent way of helping| fellow men to meet the problems | which were too heavy for them tol earry alone. He was a constant in- eentive to give our best in order that Washington might benefit from a great variety of services, ably and generously administered. The city will be the poorer without him and 1 feel that we who knew him and worked so much with him share in & very real sense with all of you in feeling a deep, irreparable loss.” direc- Services af Arlington Held for Gen.
