Dollar 1t Needs For Its
Work at Home
| w. o. Saunders, chairman of the Sal
lvation Army Home Service Campaign
in Pasquotank announces that there
will be no drive" The campaign is
from Monday, May 19. to Monday, May
!26. TN conducting this campaign for
the Salvation Army in this county,
says Chairman Saunders, 81 am not
going to put on "drive." No one will
be driven into giving anything for the
Salvation Army. Rather, I shall sound
a call for contributions for this noble
organization which served American
soldiers and humanity so valiantly in
the war. I believe the people of Pas
quotank have only to know that the
Salvation Army wants their help and
that help will be forthcmoing in gener-
Gus measure. I trust that no one will
wait for the week of May 1926, but
will make their contributions at once.
1 would like to see seve1 al S25 subscrip
tions and not less than 100 $40 sub
scriptions within the next few days
which would provide for Pasquotank's7
iouota with a margin to spare. Let's
do this and show our genuine appre-
lciation of the one war work organiza-
ton that is coming home without
lknocker" Checks should be made pay
Iable to H. G. Kramer, Treasurer and
forwarded to W. o. Saunders, Chair
man.
. Like the 100000 American boys
whom it served so gloriously in the
trenches of France, the Salvation Army
lis coming back from overseas, ready
to put aside it's khaki uniform of war
! service, don againg the "Civvies" and
embark once more on it's normal peace
: time activities.
And, Just like those doughboys, the

3 war victorious and with citations for
e bravery, decorations for gallantry un-
E der fire and golden chevrons indica-
: tive Of honorably won wounds on its
arm. The victory which the Saliva
Y ton Army has won is victory over
d the obstacles that lay before 1t In Its
Y purpose of efficient service Of the fight
n ers Of Pershing's army. Its citations
it are the thanks, cheers and prayers Of
= 100000 doughboys. Its wound stripes
if are rightfully golden of hue, for they
