Lady MacLehose said that the third and fourth campaigns of the Chest,

as recorded in the Annual Report, successfully exceeded their goals and it

was also pleasing to note that the estimated numbers of donors had increased

each year.

"Indeed, in the third campaign, over 300,000 persons and firms gave,

while in the recent appeal, the number increased dramatically to nearly 600,000,"

she said.

She expressed her profound appreciation to everyone who had in any

way whatsoever contributed time or money to the success of the Community Chest's

campaign.
