PENN YAN, Sept. 23 The board of directors of the Yates County Community Chest has announced they will not conduct a fund raising campaign for 1958. Chest President E. Jeffrey Nichol said failure this year in securing a person or persons to assume the responsibility of campaign chairman was one reason for the decision.

He added that it was forced by a "general apathy evidence in the attitude of the people of the community toward this cause." Nichol pointed out that over the past few years, the lessing interest on the part of the community has been evidenced by a decrease in funds collected, and the fact that seven major fund-raising efforts are not members of the Community Chest. The directors voted that funds in the treasury at the present time will be used to satisfy outstanding obligations and the remaining distributed to participating organizations on the same pro-rata basis used during the past year.
