MANY CONTRIBUTE
TO OFUND FOR CAMP

The appeal of the Salvation Army
for donations of SIS to cover the ex-
penses of a poor boy or girl to the
Fresh Air Camp for a two weeks out
ing is meeting with ready response.
according to Rudolph Jose. chairman
of the citizens committee engaged in
a campaign to raise the $4,000 yearly
budget 81.
The Salvation Army's mail fur
nishes an interesting, study in human
nature, says Brigadier David Stitt,
local commander. Many contributions
are anonymous one, two or five
dollar bill inclosed in an envelope.
Where letters accompany the dona-
tion they are always most sympa-
thetic of the good work the Army is
doing.
From the widow of G. A. r. Off
cer," was the line penned by a shak-
ing hand and pinned to a bill. One
letter received with substantial
contribution was written on hos
pital stationery. will you kindly re-
quest prayer for me in your meeting
| that / may be healed" was the con-
tributor's plea.
Another wrote: Kindly accept this
SIidil contrlDutlon lor your CdHipdiSu II
fund. l wish that it might be 5000
instead of So, but this is all I can
manage now"
The contributions received are said
by the citizens committee to be most
satisfactory. but the wish was ex
pressed that a larger number of per-
sons might make their contributions
at this time without waiting for some
one to make personal solicitation.
Checks should be mailed to head
quarters. 607 l. street northwest, and
made payable to the Salvation Army.

There will certainly be a great

Freight will not be discharged
in those yards at which con-

will be unloaded at the Ben

There may be difficulty and de-

through the streets will not be
as easy as in normal times.
Stores are taking on extra en-
ployes, but so many firms and
shops are reaching out for extra
labor that already a shortage is
felt in men and women qualified
