$840,431 For
“Red Feather”
The 22 Red Feather Services
of the Community Chest and
the Red -Cross need $840,431
next year to continue serving a
growing Lancaster County popu
lation, the United Community
Campaign Joint Policy Commit
tee announced today This
amount will constitute the goal
of the United Community Cam
paign to be held in Lancaster
County frpm October Ist
through 26th and in the city,
from October Bth through 26th
The $840,431 is an increase of
$68,202 over the $772,229 goal
of the 1955 United Community
Campaign
Increased Demands
The Joint Policy Committee
stated that the Boards of the
Community Chest and the Red
Cross based their anticipated
needs on the increased demand
for services due to- the popula
tion growth in Lancaster County
and on the current rise in prices
Lancaster County population in
creased from 234,717 in the 1950
census to an official estimate of
248,296 as of April 1, 1954 If
this rate continues,- a popula
tion of over 280,000 is expected
by the 1960 census The net
population gam in 1955 based
on births over deaths was
the highest in the county’s his
tory and higher than the state
in general or neighboring coun
ties
The Community Chest and the
Red Cross will also find it more
expensive to serve this growing
number of persons, the Com
mittee declared. Food, clothing,
utilities, rent and insurance
costs are higher, and social
agencies can hardly hold the
line m meeting demands and
increased costs. The cost-of
livmg index has been steadily
rising each year, m April the
consumer price index in the
United States reached 114 9 per
cent of the 1947-1949 average.
We Have The Resources

Martin C Dellinger, Campaign
Chairman, stated today that a
look at Lancaster County shows
that we have the resources to
reach the goal. He cited the
fact that average hourly earn
ings for industrial employes in
Lancaster County have inci eased
from $llB in June of 1949 to
$1 69 in May, 1956 The Lancas
ter general business index made
a gam of 12 per cent from May
1955 to May 1956 He pointed
out that of the 183 standard

The world is a great place;
stand on any street corner and
watch the couples go by
metropolitan areas in the Unit
ed States, Lancaster County
ranks 85th in population, but
12th in the United States and
first in Pennsylvania in the
consumer spendable income per
household
“The amount of the goal was
arrived at after months of
analysis and conferences”, Del
linger stressed.
Problems Alone Grow Worse
He explained that the Com
munity Chest and the Red
Cross drew up their own bud
gets Each_ of the 22 Red Feath
er Services of the Community
Chest had to justify its budget
to three separate community
groups first, to its own Board
of Directors, then, to the Chest
Budget Committee, and finally,
to the Chest Board of Direc-
tors. The original requests of
the Red Feather 'Services
amounted to $742,667. This was
adjusted during the budget con
ferences to 656,973.
