Their Need Is Great
As we lead about, or listen to, the daily reports of
desti action and havoc on the battlefronts of the world, it
becomes relatively easy for us to grow calloused to the carnage
and misery of war. Details of large scale operations and descrip-
tions of the performance of men and machines in battle naturally
are of such consuming interest that we tend to overlook the
human distress and suffering which accompanies every battle
and follows in the wake of every bombing.
We who live in comparative safety can scarcely
visualize the destruction, the physical suffering and the spiritual
torture to which millions of people have been subjected.
Because we are thus removed, and because our lot has
been much lighter than has their’s, ours is the privilege and duty
to lend a helping hand to those millions who cannot help them-
selves.
Shortly now, in every community, an appeal will be
made for funds for the War Chest, an organization formed by a
group of humanitarian people and sanctioned by our Govern-
ment. Its primary purpose is to collect and dispense money for
the alleviation of human suffering in war torn countries. But in
addition to this worthy cause the organization will also solicit
funds for the USO, an agency which has proved itself to be an
indispensable morale builder among our fighting men here and
abroad.
As a rule, the War Chest drive runs concurrently with
local campaigns for Community Chest, Welfare League, or
United Charities funds. For years these great organizations have
served useful and essential purposes in their respective com-
munities, supplying the needs of charitable and character build-
ing institutions which rehabilitate unfortunate people. These
organizations are faced with higher operating costs, just as we
are in the average American home. But their needs are as great
as ever; their cause is as worthy as ever.
Certainly, our support with time and money of such
a righteous cause as these combined organizations represent is
a genuine contribution to the war effort and at the same time a
noble gesture to suffering humanity.
