sendee in Chester and vicinity, and
It was a personal letter from him
which was responsible for a large
meeting at which it was decided to
raise the $41,000.
"In his letter. Governor Sproul
said: 'Community sen-ice has demon
strated that it is a {timely,
vital, practical, successful and very
urgently-needed movement for the
better Americanization of both
native and foreign-born, for improv
ing the conditions of life, labor and
leisure, for uniting all kinds of peo

for applying to the present problems

"In order to stop profiteering on
the part of taxicab operators whose 1
machines are not equipped with tax-;

some of the taxi men at _the pres
