SALVATION ARMY DRIVE
Campaign for the Home Service Fund
Under Way Next Week and
Local Work Arranged

A National Campaign for the
Home Service Fund of the Salvation
Army has the floor for all next week.
This noble institution which has done
such splendid service with our boys in
the army now needs $13,000,000.00 to
meet the tremendously increased de-
mands on its service in the United
States.
Why does the Salvation Army need
money again, so soon after the gift
of millions which this organization
shared with others in the United War
Campaign of last fall?
Not dollar of the funds received
by the Salvation Army from the gifts
of the American people to finance it's
war work either at home OF overseas
has been or can be diverted to the
manifold civilian activities of the or
ganization. 1t did receive large
sums of money through the generos-
ity of Americans. 1t has administer
ed and is administering that money
for the purposes intended by the Civ
ers and promised by the Salvation
Army. As to the faithfulness of the
stewardship, let the soldiers answer
any soldier you know. Ask them.
An officer of the Salvation Army
was in st. Johnsbury last week for
the purpose of interesting local peo-
pie who have worked in previous war
drives to organize for this campaign.
1t was the unanimous opinion of
those who were approached that ST..
Johnsbury should raise its share of
this fund. The work of the Saliva
ton Army during the war speaks for
itself. They need and deserve our
help. Are the people of st. Johnsbury
interested enough in this work to con-
tribute voluntarily without house
toulouse canvass? Arrangements
have been made so that every bank in
town will receive funds for the Sal
vation Army Fund from now until
and including May 26. Everyone who
is grateful to the Salvation Army for
the work they have done and are do
ing is asked to send or take to any
bank in st. Johnsbury any sum they
can give to this fund. Give any
amount. There should be several
500 gifts and very many of $50, $25,
$40. S., and 81.
st. Adams, Vermont, expects to
raise $7,50000 for this fund. Will
st. Johnsbury raise $5,00000 without
a personal canvass?
Let's try.
