Scope and content
Despite a hard day hitting the pavement, a smiling Alice McFadon turned over her filled out pledge cards and monies collected to Ethel Jones, one of the workers at the War Chest campaign headquarters. Mrs. McFadon was a volunteer solicitor in the October 1942 campaign. It was her job to go door to door to businesses asking for donations. The War Chest funded those charitable organizations related directly to the war. Tacoma's goal for 1942 was $365,000. (TNT 10/18/1942, pg. 1)
