The community advisory board Of
the salvation Army makes the follow
ing explanation of its aim. purpose
and organizations:
Many calls have been made to the
office of the community advisory
board at 20 w. Government street.
asking for further particulars as to
what the community advisory board
really is; we. therefore, give this ex-
PLANTATION in full so that all persons in
terested may fully understand that the
advisory board is the Salvation army,
SO far as the welfare and relief Of To-
cal charity are concerned:
THE community advisory board Of
the Salvation Army is simply a COM
prehensive committee of responsible
citizens in every community which
represents the army and the public in
the practical solution of the more ag-
gravated welfare problems, seldom I'M
derstood by the mind unframed in the
scientific treatment of such cases. and
which provides the community's share
of Salvation Army maintenance.
The functions of the community adj
visory board are to discover and re-
port to the Salvation Army sucn cases
by ordinary methods.
ITO discover and report to the SaI-
walton Army emergency cases requir
ing removal to homes and institutions
other than locally provided, to coop
crate with the Salvation Army in re-
lieving such cases as listed above un-
der the direction of a Salvation Army
specialist.
\. L 4.g, &c
by and under advice of Salvation Ar
my specialists, but not requiring To-
cal treatment by a Salvationist
ITO undertake the raising of
funds within the community influ-
enced by the advisory board for the
maintenance of the Salvation Army
and to provide emergency funds for
the care of those cases which can
not be foreseen by the annual mainte-
nance budget of the Salvation Army.
THE Salvation Army will support
the advisory board in every way pos
sible and accepts it's responsibilities in
taking care of all such cases as men
toned above. 1t will also maintain a
service department to give instant at
tention to matters relating to local well
fare conditions reported to it by the
advisory board
"The community advisory board has
been generally adopted in "a states,
with state advisory boards completing
the organizations.
More than fifteen mnnunities have
now Salvation Army advisory boards,
consisting of leading bankers, mer-
chants. professional mon and women
and retired individuals of prominence.
The number of members of such
boards is nearly forty thousand. These
boards have been found to function
satisfactorily to the public and to the
army
The funds that are now being raised
in this community by the community
advisory board is the amount neces
sary for the Salvation Army to have
in it's Golfers so that It may continue
to give in the next twelve months the
same service as it has always given in
the past, as we'll as take care of all
the other work in our community con-
sidered necessary by the advisory
board
I'm giving to the advisory board, you
are giving to the Salvation Army as
you have always done in the past, and
we ask of you more than your usual
support so that we may give to our
community the benefits derived from
the extension of the Salvation Army
efforts into our country districts"
