Members of the Kiwanis club at
their luncheon today were given
many of the details of the operation
of the Community Chest as it is now
being' used in many cities of Con-
necticut to take cars of various char- 1
itios. Both Bridgeport and New Ha- '
ven have had success with the.r
“chests." An attempt may be made
in Norwaik. in the near future. to
organise a "chest" along similar
lines. To get the details of the
"chest" the Kiwanis club had as its
principal speaker today Harry C.5
Knight, Vice President and General
Manager or the Southern New Eng-9
land Telephone company. who is at»!
so an ardent Kiwanian. i
