SALVATION ARMY FUND S8,00O SHORT Personal Canvass May Be Made to Finish
 Drive

The local Salvation Army drive that Is going on here now has re- ceived s2.0oo already, but there still remains sSoOo more on the quota to be raised.
 Although no canvasses have been made yet, as the officials in charge believed that the business man would send in his donation without the talk ing up of his time in canvassing, It is probable that & personal canvass will be started in order to rush the drive to a finish.
 The campaign of the Salvation Army was started last summer, but was discontinued when they were asked to quit so that fund could he raised to help the unemployed. At the time the drive was discontinued only about half of the s2o,ooo had been raised.
