SALVATION ARMY HOME
SERVICE APPEAL

In connection with the Salvation
Army Home Service appeal, May 10 tt
20, which will be put on in Jackson
county, as everywhere else in the
United States, it is stated by those
in charge of this work that no cause
has ever received such universal en-
dorsement as this one has. Franklin
D. Oliver, National Commander of the
American Legion, recently said in Bir
mingham that he believed every ex
service man would be glad to lend his
assistance to the raising Of the funds
Grand Exalted Ruler Raine, of the
Elks. wrote a letter to every lodge,
asking them to help in this cause for
humanity. City Chairman Mr.. McVea
Young, is in receipt Of a copy of let
ter written by Jas. Fl. Maurer, Presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Federation
of Labor, in which he said:
every sincere person must feel
that any organization which can man
age it's business so well and render
such devoted service to humanity as
the Salvation Army rendered during
the war; upon the comparatively small
sum of money they had to use, merits
confidence and support" We all
know that our modern industrial con-
ditions make for great wastage of
human life and strews the lower
stratas of society with human wreck
age. The Salvation Army devotes it's
time to rescuing these poor souls from
unlivable conditions and I suppose no
one will ever know, on this earth, the
magnitude of the service rendered or
the vast number of poor folks who
have been lifted out of the very gut
ter and placed on their feet again.
"The Salvation Army merits our
appreciation and support. 1t is always |
ready to help the under dog. and |
am for it,
Among those asked to lend their
HSiP ~ hiAhiAo thS appear q ouCCCSb
in Pascagoula are Lieut. o. E.
Rolls, Lieut.. Guy Dean, Mrs. Guy
Dean, Major l.. e. Cox, with C. G.
Scott, editor of the Chronicle, county
publicity director; Mr. j. Bounds,
Moss Point, county treasurer; j. D.
Mcintosh, county chairman; Mr.. H. p.
chairman speakers; Mrs.
K. w. Burnham, Moss Point, chairman
Women's Committee, with Mr.. Young,
as stated, chairman in Pascagoua
and it is hoped that everybody will
take pride in lending support to the
cause of the Salvation Army, which
makes this Annual Appeal now in
stead of the old way of taking over
half the workers time securing f.
nances.
