 The Salvation Army's Merry Christ mas to the poor and needy and unfor- tunate of which will be practical. Many are planning to make glad their friends with Christmas gifts of differ ent kinds and the home Is made mer- ry and happy by parents and chill dren and relatives far and near com I ing together. Songs and music and greetings fill the ears of those at home. | Loneliness, sorrow and trouble are forgotten. The clouds are driven back. Sunshine comes in and fills the home in Merry Christmas style. It com- l mences at the coal bin then travels to the kitchen, opens the pantry door, i jumps to the parlor, covers the center stands, finds it's way to the bedrooms, fills them with it's comfort and then it rushes to the kitchen stove and places a big turkey in the oven and prepares a great feast for the gathering and household.
 I wish to ask the good citizens of Nor wich to remember with the Salvation Army what the Master said about in- vitations to the feast, as follows: When you make feast, call the poor the maimed, the lame, the blind, an( then thou shalt be blessed Jesus alsC
 said: The poor ye have with you al
 ways Appeal to every good citize1
 for help so that every poor needy sou
 in this community will enjoy a req
 Merry Christmas In practical, heart felt way. I am confident that Nor
 wich will come to our help in a gen
 eropg ways. We are planning for 50 Tor 800 dinners. We need money chickens butter tea, sugar, coffee, ap
 pies, potatoes, celery, cranberries, nuts
 candies. All checks can be made t , the Salvation Army Inc, and. don , forget the kettles on the streets.
