Pledges Big Contribution for

At least one hundred families OF the

in each OF them there will be a tur.
key.
q Contributions for the Thanksgiving
dinners that the missions In the city
are to give are coming In slowly but
surely. superintcndents report.
Turkey Not Likely.
II is extremely unlik ely that turkey
however. Present indications favor
roach pork or beef as the principal
dish.
Applications for aid are gradually
it is said. Fuel IL asked
for nearly as much as food. There Is
suffering among the old
people OF the neighborhoods In which
the missions are located, due to lack
OF FIRE. The nursery at the Gospel
will soon be running at its capacity IL
the cold weather continues, officials
believe.
The Salvation Army announces that
1t probably will be able to have
chicken as the chief attraction at ITS
Thanksgiving Day dinner, principally
for women and children. Men are not
to be refused a meal, but women and
children are especially invited.
More Men Ask Aid.
A decided increase In the number
of men applying at the missions Is
noted since the weather became cold.
The men who are now asking for aid
are working men.
Recently. not enough men to MI
positions were available, but now
there Is a surplus of men. Anyone de-
string to employ mon need only ask
at q mission to get any number he
wants. All trades and several pro-
LESSONS are represented.
The present Influx of men In due,
they say, to the discharging OF num-
bers OF men In plants all over the
country. Munitions are reported by
these men to be stored to the roofs
OF tho factories, there being no cars
to remove them. Until this condition
Is alieviated. II IL probable that the
missions will be called upon to sup.
plement the usually meager savings
of tho men.
