Dear Public:
The Chest Drive has ended officially, but only one-third of
the s3’oßß for the Negro Districts have been raised. Our records
show the following reports:
District 28 5290.34 Liberty City—33 per cent of quota
District 29 —$273.60 Miami proper—ll percent of quota
District 30 —$171.10 Coconut Grove —57 per cent of quota
If you have not made your contribution to the Community
Chest, it is never too late to contribute as long as social prob
lems are evident. Give today. Everybody benefits. Everybody
Gives.
Again this Christmas the Miami Herold is sponsoring the
“Lend-A-Hand Fund”, a fund which makes it possible for per
sons who, because of financial reasons cannot provide Christ
mas gifts for themselves. If you want to give a gift to a needy
person or you are in need of gifts to make your Christmas
happy, call 2-4762, faiss Helen L. Fisher, Neighborhood Coun
cil Secretary.
The Neighborhood bounded by 20th Street, 21st Terrace,
6th Avenue and 6th Place cooperated well in the recent Com
munity Chest Campaign. The area was headed by the Neigh
borhood Secretary, Miss Helen Fisher. Miss Fisher reports that
the Block Councils in the urea assumed the attitude which is
basic for any community movement, and as a result of the
stimulus gained in the campaign these neighbors began to rea
lize the need for civic participation. This is a step forward in
Neighborhood Councling. It is the hope of the Secretary that
all neighborhoods begin to realize the many civic responsibili
ties and begin to do their share as citizens of a community.
Sincerely yours,
NEGRO SERVICE COUNCIL

The New Three
Feathers Gaining
Friends In Miami
The New Thre ft Feathers whis
key is gaining an enviable position
in the Miami Colored market accord
ing to a recent survey. The favor
able consumer response to this
quality product maybe accounted
for in the fact that the manufac
turers of The New Three Feathers
employ a number of Colored sales
men on their gtaff, notable among
whom is Herman T. Smith of the
New York office who is currently
working in Miami.
During World War II the New
Three Feathers whiskey company
made s ure that a sufficient quan
tity of their product was made
availably to retail outlets, so that
consumers were able to get an
abundant supply of ' this whiskey
most of the time. When the war
ended and other brands became plen
tiful ther e was a switch to gome at
them as is natural under the
American way of living.
The public tried drinking some of
the other brands were not as
plentiful a s The New Three Feath
ers during the war. Now since all
the brands have been tried the
pendulum is swinging back to The
New Three Feathers as indicated
by the sonsumer acceptance in the
Miami area.
, Another factor that is manifesting
itself in favor 6f The New Three
Feathers in the Miami area is the
fact that the Distributors are
carrying on an aggressive adver
tising campaign in the local Negro
newspapers featuring local person
alities.
