Of Budget.

Under the designation Of humanity
week. the period between October 81
and November 5, inclusive. will this
year be the dates on which the annual
budget of the Salvation Army will be
replenished in Great Falls. The cam
paign was agreed upon finally Monday
at the weekly luncheon Of the kiwanis
club. which sponsored the budget drive
in 1920 and will now take over the
work again.
On report of Lee Singer, the amount
of the budget was definitely fixed at
will be made, with an idea to obtaining
subscription Of 81 from every home.
It was explained to the club that 80
per cent Of the budget will be used for
local relief work, 10 per cent going
to Headquarters to meet interest
charges and taxes on the Great Falls
citadel.
Special Committee Named
Mr.. Singer is a member Of the Saliva
|tion Army's advisory board and has act
ed on Kiwanis committee in complies
ing preliminary work on the budget.
He named Samuel Weekes, Maurice
Handler, J.. p. Hughes, the Rev. Leo
L. Totten, James Jordan, Fred G. An
dretta. III. C. Pfeister and Ray Duggan
to act as a special committee for the
club during the campaign. Mr.. Weekes
will have charge of the general canvass
and W. p. Elwell will handle publicity
for the drive.
The absolute minimum which must
be raised for the budget this year is
and no member doubts that it will be
subscribed. The work Of the Salvation
Army is too well known to need any
explanation now, and I think that the
particular value of its activities this
year are universally recognized. It un-
doubtedly is true that in distributing
relief quicker action is obtained through
the Salvation Army than any other
agency. It is the institution looked to
for needed assistance in the field in
which it operates"
Canvass Whole City
Mr.. Singer said that heretofore the
greater portion of the arny's budget
has been raised between Park drive
and Sixth street, on Central avenue,
First avenue north and First avenue
south. This year, he asserted, there
will be a more equitable distribution.
President C. ]. Bresee announced that
a subscription of 81 would be expected
from each home in Great Falls. Can
vassers, equipped with credentials and
complete information as to disposition
of the amount raised. will call on each
householder l1s, in the city during the week.
This work will be in addition to can
vass of the business district. The
larger budget this year is principally
accounted for by the reduction of work
at the smelter and railroad shops, it
was stated.
Lester Lobe, president of the Helena
Kiwanis club. and Samuel Goodman,
also of Helena, were guests of Harry
Newman at the luncheon. Mr.. Lobe
stated that the Helena club has been
organized but six weeks and has not
yet attained its working stride, but that
the organization is interesting itself in
the welfare of disabled veterans sta
toned at Fort William Henry Harrison,
and in the proposed construction OF
highway through the Missouri river
canyon. Mr.. Lobe invited the Great
Falls club to attend the charter pres
entation to be held by the Helena club
November 10.
