Easter Services Greatly
Enjoyed at Pine City

Pine City, April 14-tspecial to
The Gazette-Timesl-Our Easter
services we're carried out as had been
planned, regardless of the unfayor-
able weather both at Pine City and
the Alpine school house. The sing
ing at each service was greatly en-
joyed by all. Rev. ]. T. HOskins
preached an excellent discourse at
the morning service at Sand Hollow.
The basket dinner was up to date and
a large crowd was present to do JUS
tice to it. But even after everyone
had seemed to eat his fill, there WAS
much left over.
Everyone present seemed to be de-
lighted with all that took place and
the verdict of the Sand Hollow peo-
pie appears to be, ''let US have an
other basket dinner and social gath
ering sometime in May" The pastor
extends his thanks to those who help
ed to make the Easter services such
a fine success.

5. ARMY WILL SPEND
BUDGET IN OREGON

An analysis of the s2S4,00G bud
get to be raised in Oregon Rescue
Week, May l to 10 to provide for the
work laid out by the advisory boards
In convention in Portland, March II,
shows that every dollar Of the fund
is to be spent in Oregon in one or
the other Of the seventeen activities
that mark the service given by the
army to the state.
Following the WAR the demands
for service coming into the Salvation
Army headquarters, forced the ex-
pansion OF its efforts in the field and
made it imperative that the army
reach beyond the confines of the city
and attend to the pressing needs Of
communities in remote sections Of
the state. It's equipment was found
woefully inadequate by the state ad-
visory board and after the reports Of
the county boards had been received
and studied, II was found necessary
to authorize several large property
deals to assure the lassies that they
would have the institutions and
homes that would pemit them to
carry on their labor of sacrifice and
love.
For the purchase of the White
Shield home as the Oregon Salvation
Army rescue and maternity home
the budget provides $4,000 and for
the operation and maintainence Of
the home which annually cares for
approximately 200 girl mothers from
all corners of the state. $4,000 is pro-
vided.
For the purchase of the Bishop
Scott school in Yamhill county and
for fitting 1t up and opening II as a
boys and girls industrial and agricul-
tural school, home and farm for the
neglected kiddies Of Oregon, $4,000
is provided
To carry on the prison work, the
watching over destitute families left
without provider when the father
Is sent to the prison cell and the work
OF finding employment for and rehab-
iltating discharged prisoners, $1,000
is provided.
For annual Corps Budget and OPP
Grating expenses and for increasing
Salvation Army work in the virgin
territory of the smaller communities
Of the state, the largest part of the
Home Service Program for 1920,
$4,000 is provided.
A Salvation Army relief fund for
the poor families in the state Of Ore
gon and a fund for special emergen-
cies of $4,000 is provided.
A central building to cost 100000
and to be built upon the site now
