$7,000 Goal Set
For Chest Drive
In Dexter Area
DEXTER — The first Dexter
United Community Chest Drive
this fall will aim for a goal of
$7,000, it was announced this
week. Organizers of the newly-
formed Chest describe the campaign goal as "adequate to answer needs, but modest considering the 'once-for-all' nature
of the drive."
According to spokesmen for
the board of directors,., the
Community Chest in Dexter was
formed to make for a fair distribution of charity money collected in the school district, and to
end the nuisance of many small
solicitations.
John Hoey, head of the budget committee, working with his
committee members, has studied the requests for funds from
member agencies, along with
figures of past collections in the j
community, in arriving at the
goal.
Dates for the drive will be set
to coincide with other United
Fund and Community Chest
drives throughout the county.
Among member agencies of
the Dexter United Community
Chest are tlie Michigan United
Fund, with its 32 agencies, the
Red Cross, and the Scouts.
In coming weeks, a complete
listing of agencies participating
in the drive and benefiting from
it wUl be published.
DEXTER — Members of the
Campaign Committee of the
Dexter United Community
Chest will gather this Friday,
August 16, at the home of their
chairman, Mrs. Clifford Poppenger, for a luncheon and planning session. According to
Mrs. Poppenger, it is hoped that
definite plans for action in the
forthcoming drive will be formulated at the meeting.
Martin Berdit, of the Michigan United Fund, will be present at the meeting to offer advice. •'      _
- MEANWHILE, OBLIVIOUS TO ALL THOUGHTS OF
SCHOOL, the young fry of Dexter go on about their vac_u-
tion-time pleasures. Shown above, Chuck Hale and Jerry
Peters, are shown at the edge of town working their thumbs
for a hitch out to Portage. Prospects for a ride on the motor
scooter looked sjim indeed . . hut chances are good that by
the time the photographer got back to the hot Reporter
•shop, to slave away at his job for the afternoon, Chuck and
Jerry were already enjoying the cool water 'at .Portage.

chapter of the O.E.S. will hold
