CHEST REPORTS The Portland and Multnomah county Community Chest has raised more than 25 million dollars for voluntary health, welfare and recreation services in this area and has grown from a subscriber membership of some 6 thousand to more than 100,000, according .to the 1950 an– nual report just released. The Red Feather agencies spent a total of $3,147,083.69 in 1950 of which 60 per cent of the money came from fees, earn· ings, interest from endowments and tax sources. The chest, which finances operat· ing deficits only, provided 39.6 per cent of the total agency funds or $1,246,297.02 last year. 1 A printed annual report listing complete breakdown of chest allocations wil.l. be mailed widely in the community and copies are avaiable on request. The major share of chest monies went into support of youth citizenship train– ing and character-building programs and to child care programs for dependent and homeless babies and children, rehabilita· tion of delinquents and care of unmarried mothers. Frank E. McCaslin, president of the Oregon-Portland Cement company, was re-elected to a second term as president of the Portland and Multnomah county com– munity chest at the annual meeting.

AID TO RURAL CHURCHES One of the best ways for a large city congregation to aid our rural churches in the South is to help send Sunday school teachers to summer training institutes. Another way is to help those boards or agencies of our church that provides Sun– day school lesson material. The survey of 570 churches in 17 rural counties in the South shows that the Sun– day school is almost entirely a layman's task. The minister does not usually super– vise it, and very seldom attends. This S\,lrvey contains 104 pages giving descriptions of many churches and Sun· day st:hools. The Rural Department, Drew INERGROUP RELATIONS Purpose: I. To evaluate intergroup relations in Oregon. 2.
