A high sense of civic duty as • well as sunshine, lovely trees and culture and leisure make Winter Park the unique community we know and love. Are you doing1 your part to help maintain a high civic standard by contributing to the WINTER PARK COMMUNITY FUND FOR 1945 Winter Park's leading citizens, many of them seasonal residents, are men and women of conscience and neighborly responsibility. They have cheerfully taken on their shoulders the task of keeping Winter Park's standards high for young and old, rich and poor. They have carefully buclgetted the needs of eight important philanthropic undertakings as requiring a quota of $10,400. The only question is: shall we give them 100 per cent, support in our community projects by making our contributions all in one drive, or must we fall back on the old humiliating and endless method of begging a little at a time for each good cause ? No one will hesitate in choosing this com- bined budgeted quota drive, especially if he has ever served as a solicitor to go around his town hat in hand. Let the words Of our civic leaders on the needs of such health and welfare agency tell the story and stir our people to generous contributions: • The WELFARE ASSOCIATION, feeding and care of sick and poor: "Even in these days of prosperity for most of us we have 120 applications a month for aid. Each appeal is professionally checked before any financial help is given." R. F: Leedy, President Welfare Association. Budget $ 6,000.00 HEALTH CENTER, checking of disease among adults and children.
