The Star is not fearful that the people of Seattle will not give to the community chest. It knows that the community chest idea, rather than constant individual collections for this charity and that, has “sold it- self” too well to the public. The thing The Siar does fear is that individual subscribers to the fund will not give ENOUGH. One day’s pay from every one is the quota set by those in charge. That isn’t excessive.

Of course, if you buy apples by the box, the cost is less, considerably less. More than $30 a year seems consider- able to pay for the joy of eating one fine Washington apple every day. é .
