Feather agencies, foster homes where they receive the love, affection
and care which is the right of every child.

How Many Will You Help?

The 1955 Annual Community Chest and Council’s Red
Feather Campaign, will commence October, 3rd, with an
appeal to the citizens of Greater Vancouver, fgr funds to
meet this year’s objective of $1,779,000, needed for the 54

agencies they represent.

These agencies throughout the
year offer a variety of services
which are aimed at helping people
regain their health and happiness.
To retain the highly skilled per-
sonnel needed and to provide
proper recreational centres to
carry on this work takes money
which can only be obtained
through donations from you the
public.

One Donation

One donation of twelve dollars
will ‘provide through these agen-
cies, 5% days of foster home care
to a child who has no home.
Twelve dollars will provide one
year of recreational activities for
a member of the Canadian Na-
tional Institute for the Blind. For
twelve dollars a Victorian Order
Nurse can make six visits to the
home of a diabetic who needs i-

sulin regularly.

Day in and day out these
agencies throughout the year carry
on their work of mercy.’ Their
research team at the Health
Centre for Children, for instance,
is doing outstanding pioneering
work in studying the causes of
improper breathing and lack of
oxygen in new born infants.

Mental Health Association, B.C.
Division, is furthering understand-
ing of sound mental health and

munity. "
