Today in Interest of Work
Over West Florida.

The final master stroke in the Sal
walton Army Home Service drive was
doubtless made yesterday noon so far
as the local fight is concerned when
a brilliant band of workers descended
upon the plant of the Pensacola Ship
building company and through the
courtesy and with the cooperation of
the management of that big enter
prise, enthused and inspired the work
ers there and drew from them con-
tributions and pledges which will
doubtless aggregate the anticipated
$4,000 when all returns are checked
up.
The list of prominent workers in
cluded Captain j. n. Sweeney, head of
the plant; Capt. r. E. Bergren of the
local Corps. Salvation Army; Rebeka
Grosskopf, Clara B. FrenkIe Blanche
Sheppard, w. G. Green, Mary L. Green,
Edna Hoffman, Col. John l.. Hughes
Marjorie S. McEachern, Mrs. A. l..

Hervei, Miss Rheba Crawford, F. W.
Crenshaw, Mrs. c. B. Hervey. w. r.
Amos B. S. Hancock, and the Fort
Barrancas band of 25 pieces. The COM
cafeteria, after which, through the
courtesy of the company officials. every
department was thoroughly worked.
every division giving generously.
At the formal speech making and
entertainment Capt. Sweeney acted as
chairman and made the opening talk,
introducing Col. Hughes and Miss
Rheba Crawford. Miss Dodd. a hand
some Salvationist and charming sing
er, from New York, made a strong hit
with her voice, and her duet rendi-
ton of Salvation Lassie of Mine" to-
gether with one of the members of the
drive.
Miss Crawford spoke with her well
known persuasiveness. Born in the
ranks of the Salvation Army as the
daughter of one of its brigadier gem
erals she made the men of the ship
plant feel that she spoke with the au-
thority of genuine knowledge She de-
elared that the army is doing no diff
ferent work today than it has done
for SO years but that it took the war
and the service in France to awaken
the people to its merits. Miss Craw-
ford has the unassuming, but fascinat-
ing. personality that little bespeaks the
brifIiancy she manifests on the public
platform.
