Salvation Army Pots Are Boil

Army and Navy Club

The Salvation Army in this city is
e~ndeavorfng to secure funds in order
to make Christmas a cheerful and hap
py n for many of the poor families
in Perth Amboy. They have had their
kettles on the streets for the past two
days and have collected in that time
over SIC, which is much better than
they made by h a means last ear
The collections in the various boxes
distributed around in the stores and
lodges OF the city have not yet been
counted but AdJutant Stubs expects
a large sun from that source.
II is the plan this year to feed at
least fifty families and IL will not be
done the same rs formerly. Instead
OF having them all gather in one big
place, baskets with a complete dinner
In them will be distributed the day
before Christmas to tho most needy
families in the city. The army also
expects to rave a Christmas tree cele-
bration for the children who other
wise would not have the pleasure OF
having n tree of their own.
The Salvation Army has rooms for
sixty-fve men, which are taken nearly
all the time. There is only a moderate
charge for the rooms and men in uni
form are given quarters free of charge.
They have had over five hundred men
In either the army or nav room there
at one time or another.
Plans are o being formulated to
convert the two stores ON the first
floor of the army building into recrea-
ton and reading rooms for the men
and also have n smoking room for
them. This plan will probably be car
ried out in the near future and thus
the army will have a place TO enter
tain the many men who visit the
building and have their rooms there.
h Salvation Army will be glad to
receive donations of any eatables, but
they request that all such be sent to
the building or those who cannot send
provisions a send n check TO Adju-
