| Description: | President Dwight D. Eisenhower speaks, in an appeal to all America to support the nation-wide community chest campaign. President Eisenhower; "In every community of our land there are children who need help, adults who are sick in body and troubled in mind. Handicap people who want the chance to live normal useful lives. Lonely old folks who need comfort and kindness. These are the people who, in each town and city who are helped by the Community Campaign. United Community Campaigns hope to realize that total (two hundred eighty million dollars). This is a big undertaking but it is not too big for this great nation. I'm confidant that you will give generously to the volunteer workers who visits you in your home or your place of business. He will be speaking for man's humanity to man. He will be speaking for America". | |
