The Telenews Daily - Truman Spurs Charity Drive 03:18:12 President Truman at microphone, speaks (SOF): “Fellow Americans, we’re on the eve of a typically American campaign, a peace campaign, that will enlist during October the energies of a million and a half volunteer workers. They are setting out to raise some $185 million dollars to meet community needs thru the familiar Red Feather services of the Community Chests. These services are many & varied. They include among others: child care, recreation & character development activities for boys & girls; counseling & help to families in time of trouble; healing for those who are sick in body or in mind; care & companionship for the aged. This year Red Feather campaigns in many cities will include the USO - the United Service Organizations. USO has been reactivated at my request as an essential element to our National Security. Let us remember that the USO is still a home away from home for more than a million and a half young men & women in our Armed Forces. Coordinated Fund Raising Appeal; 1949;
