 H. N. Hummer, field representative of the Salvation Army has been in town for the past few days working in conjunction with the local Salvation Army community advisory board in preparation for the commencement of the solicitation of funds which is to start Monday, April 16 and continue throughout the week. The drive for funds has been carried on each year and will be the only drive which the Salvation Army will conduct this year. For several years, Plainville has had a permanent community advisory board, composed of s. s. Gwillim, A. A. Mcleod, c. w. Bartlett, First Seectman w. J. Johnson, J. N. Me- Kernan, w l.. Cafferty, c. R. Sher- man, M. J. Lamb and C. A. Bedford.
 The board has full chhrge of the annual drive for funds and in addi- tion to this, it investigates all cases | in Plainville which call for the serv- ices of the army, and these are re- ported to the nearest corps. Many cases have been cared for in the past years by the Salvation Army and the interest shown by the popu- lace Ill former years is sure to be re- peated again this year. It is quite likely that the American Legion and the Ladies' Auxiliary of that order will again cooperate with the advisory board to make this drive a success. Tn past years, these two organizations have been the main factors in put ting the drive over the top.
