A new slate of officers for
the Albany Ex-Students Asso-
ciation was elected at Home-
coming last week-end. During

tion selected Mrs. Ruby Par-
neil Moore as president for a
two-year term beginning this
fall. To serve with her are
John Earl Deal!, vice-president,
Mrs. Ross Perry, secretary,
and Mrs. W. D. Macon, treas-
urer.
Committee chairmen ap-
pointed at the same meeting
were Mrs. C. E. Jacobs, pub-
licity and newspaper; Mmes.
Ben Karl Carlile and Bill

homecoming game and will also
participate in the high school's

get-together, meetings, lunch-
eon and dance will be held ev-
ery other year.

ALBANY CHEST DRIVE
OPENED TUESDAY MORNING
This week Albany is witm ss
ing an annual miracle of devo
tlon to an ideal. It started
Tuesday morning when a crew
of more than 50 workers in the
general solicitations division
added their efforts to those of
the advance gift division In a
concerted one-week drive to
put the Albany Chest over the
top in its campaign for money
to fulfill obligations during
l!»fi5.
To complete the task of
raising the $7,950 budget In
seven days will require the best
efforts of all—In hard work on
the part of solicitors and In
the generosity of the commun-
ity as a whole.
During the campaign period
the citizenry is asked to bear
In mind that the Albany Chest
is a highly personal endeavor.
It may seem vast; it may seem
complicated. In reality, how-
a
neigh-
you ifiv
in great
ever, it i as simple
bor helping neighbor
ing a lift to ; omcom
need of II I-lance.
We lilllst ucceed in this
cumpai tn, but not, of course,
limply for a campaign victory
Itself. We must succeed be-
cause so many are depending
iipnii in for the care, guidance j
and hope provided as a result j
of personal contributions of
those of u? privileged to sup-
port the Albany Chest.
There is no experience In
community undertakings that
can bring the same pride of ac-
complishment, the same sense
of achievement, the same glow
of satisfaction, that is ours
as a community- when the
campaign Is over and the goal
has been reached
One gift works many won-
ders. Give the united all for
one
and one for all way!
