SALVATION ARMY HOME
SERVICE DRIVE JULY 7-12
HOME SERVICE CAMPAIGN TO BE CONDUCTED
ONCE EACH YEAR FOR PURPOSE OF FL
NANCING INSTITUTION.

That the Salvation Army will main
tain contact with all of the return
ing soldiers and sailors, their rela-
tives and friends and all others who
need help, is the keynote of commun-
ication received by Chairman John G.
Brown of the Montana State Home
Service campaign from Commissioner
Thomas Estill, head of the western
department. With this program comes
marked change in the methods of
soliciting funds that witnesses the pas
sing of the "tambourine" and the sub
stitution Of the modern yearly Drive"
that will leave more than a quarter of
a million trained men and women
workers of the Salvation Army at lib
erty at all times to concentrate on
works of mercy upon a greatly in
creased scale. Speaking of the new
plan Commissioner Estill's statement
has the following to say:
because of it's work with the allied
troops in the war just ended, the Sal
walton Army has been favored by the
public with vast amount of "pop-
ularity" which to us means respon-
sibility. 1t is prevailing idea that
the Salvation Army did new thing
in a new way during the war. The
fact is that it did an old thing in an
old way, the difference being that we
were not so much observed and under
stood by the public when we toiled in
relief work at home as when our work
was extended to the war zone. The
inevitable penalty Of such popularity
with its consequent responsibility is
an extension of facilities.
eve shll not lose contact with the
young men we were glad to serve in
France, or with the parents, relatives
and friends who now have come to
know us in America. Millions of new
friends now turn to US for a continu-
alton of our service and it is our boun-
den duty to answer this call. We
have decided in striding forward, to
relieve the public of endless begging
and solicitation of funds, that was
necessary in the past, and to go forth
in one great effort each year, mean
time concentrating upon an expansion
of our relief work as typified by hun
dreds of rescue homes, orphanages,
hospitals, lodging houses for the poor,
day nurseries, infants shelters, indus
trial centers, free clinics and dispen-
saries, fresh air farms for the aged
and helpless, free employment bureaus,
departments for prison rescue work,
free ice and coal stations. These we
will maintain for the comfort and aid
of the American boys who fought in
the war, their families and relatives.
"The Salvation Army does not wish
the public to understand that this
change in its program in any way in
dicates or suggests that the slightest
responsibility for faithful efforts and
service is to be lifted from it's officers.
Far from it, the Salvationistts will
work harder than ever. The tasks
ahead will be greater and more diff
cult than ever. If the Salvation Army
did not feel grateful to the American
public for its support in past drives,
and if it did not appreciate to the
full all Of the wonderful kindnesses
that have been shown our cause be-
fore and since the war, we would not
ask for the money necessary to ex-
tend our facilities. As a matter of
fact, we fell sure that the public
wants and expects US to match up
with the existing need. In account
ing for every dollar we receive from
the public, we shall explain just what
is to be done with the funds request
ed for fighting home poverty and suf-
fering in the trenches of America"
