“Community And War Chest Campaign Opens Next Week … Always an extraordinary event for the two cities, this year's campaign for the Bangor-Brewer Community and War Chest is an effort that exceeds all the previous campaigns. This year we are at war--not alone the perennial war against under-privilege, ill health, poverty, and broken homes against which the Community Chest has always wrestled. Today our Nation–our Allies–are fighting for the maintenance of the life to which we've been accustomed–for our very existence. War makes this year's Community Chest the biggest philanthropic project Bangor and Brewer have ever had…Monday's Community and War Chest campaign will mean a one-time, single solicitation of contributions for 15 of our own organizations and institutions and for six of the relief and welfare organizations directly connected with the welfare of our own fighting men and for the relief and assistance of our Allies. Our Bangor and Brewer beneficiaries of the Community Chest are: For the care of health and children: Bangor Anti-Tuberulosis Association, Bangor District Nursing Association Women's Field Army for Control of Cancer, the Good Samaritan Home. For character building: the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., Bangor Hebrew Community Center. For the care of families and individual service: Brewer Community Service Council, Catholic Welfare Council, Family Welfare Society, Hebrew Welfare Society, Salvation Army, Travelers Aid Society. The six war relief agencies for which the Community Chest will this year solicit contributions are the United Service Organization (USO), the Navy Relief Society, the British War Relief, the Russian War Relief, the Greek War Relief, and the Polish War Relief.” (Source: Bangor Daily News, October 10, 1942)

How to use this poster. First paste this panel on cardboard. When stamp sales equal the purchase price of one item of clothing or equipment, cut out that item and thumbtack it in proper position on the soldier, using the fully-equipped smaller figure in the upper left as a guide. Continue until all the items are "paid for" and the soldier is fully equipped. The same poster and cut-outs may be used again and again. Use the thermometer to record progress toward any selected goal. To use it more than once strengthen it by pasting cardboard on the back, then make a small hole or slit at top and bottom. Take a piece of ribbon or string, half red and half white, put the white end through the top hole, the red end through the bottom hole. Tie ends together in back.

Important new instructions--revised July 1942. These new instructions are based on exhaustive research by technicians of OCD and the Chemical Warfare Service, U.S. Army. They represent changes now adopted also by British officials after careful analysis of the results of both this and the old method during actual air raids. Both American and British tests prove that a jet of water, as illustrated below, will knock out the fire bomb in less than one minute--before major fires can get started. Fire (not the bomb) is the chief danger, and a jet of water is the best weapon. Respect the fire bomb but do not fear it ... Post these instructions where they can be seen. Study them ... Understand them ... Memorize them ... Then you will be ready for any emergency.
