Cheer Plan
For Needy

At least twenty or thirty needy
children Of Salem between the
ages of six and ten are going to
have a taste of Christmas Joy due
to plans made last night by mem
bers of the Tri l. club, a business
girls organization which met for
supper at the Y. w. G. A. Plans
were laid and committees appoint
ed to arrange for a Christmas tree
and a holiday frolic in the Y. W.
G. A. rooms on Friday, December
23. Written invitations will be
sent to about thirty children of
needy families of the city. In Sc
curing the names the club will
WORK through Associated Cnarl-
ties.
Automobiles will be secured to
call for the children at their
homes at about o'clock in the
evening and they will be escorted
home at about 10 o'clock in like
manner. The automobile ride
alone would be treat to most.
In the association parlor will be
a Christmas tree, bright with tin
sci and lights, and on it will be
three gifts for each child-a bag
of candy and nuts, a toy and a
pair of serviceable stockings
There will be Santa Claus to dis
tribute the packages.
Money to finance the party will
be supplied by members Of the Tri
l. club, but they are not selfish
in the desire to help and II any
one wishes to make it possible
for one more child to have mer-
ry Christmas, donations shoult
be left at the Y. w. G. A. office,
addressed to the Tri L club. Miss
Gladys Sargent is president Of the
organization and Miss Edna New
berry, secretary.

Boy Scouts Would
Use Salem School;
Board to Consider

Failing to have quorum the
Salem school board did not hold
its regular meeting at the high
school last night. Consequently it
failed to hear an appeal for the
Boy Scouts who wish to use the
Lincoln school as meeting place.
"The boys will take good care of
the building and it will help US a
great deal If you'll permit them to
meet there" Frederick Schmidt,
of the scout council, told Directors
Walter Winslow and DR.. Fl. Fl.
Olinger, the only two board mem
bers who we're present last night.
No official action was taken
but, 1t was indicated, the board
probably will act favorably on Mr..
Schmidt's request. Boy Scouts ac-
tivities in connection with the
schools of other cities have been
very much worth while, it Is said.
The actual weight of the hu-
man brain or the size of the head
is no sign OF special intelligence.

help FOR
CITY NEEDY
REQUESTED
Salvation Army De-
clare That Larger
Number Than Usual
Need Xmas Cheer

The Salvation Army Of this city
would like to draw attention to the
fact that this season there are a
larger number than usual of poor
families in need, who are looking
to the Army for help, and more
ready and liberal response to the
present appeal must be made il all
these families are to receive the
usual Christmas fare provided.
Over fifty cases have already
been Investigated and must be re-
lieved, but unfortunately the
funds raised so far are decidedly
below the mark.
1t is the wish of the Army to
help all who come, and while not
wishing to minimize the amount
of good done by other organiza-
tions, they find that the mapority
Of the outside poor feel more free
dom in applying to the Army for
help.
Over so years have been spent
by the Salvation Army in this
work, and the public can therefore
have confidence that the best
methods are employed and the
most possible amount of good done.
No amount will be spent in any Of
the state institutions, but the re-
lief will be directly for deserving
families.
