corum.
Too bad. in a way. for there have
always been a lot Of picturesque
stunts in connection with the Sal

there Is one distinct advantage. no
body will be approached twice. And
the Salvation Army made such o
place for itself in our hearts DUR
ing the war that everybody wants
to contribute his-or her-bit and
there should be no difficulty in
raising the necessary funds.
Flower and and candy booths are
being maintained at the horse
