 The Salvation Army today began its annual campaign in Plainville for funds with which to carry on its general welfare work. The appeal has not fixed any definite quota, but generous response Is hoped for in this one campaign made by the or ganization during the year. The ap- peal IS under the direction of the following local committee: Frank T. Wheeler. chairman: A. A. Macleod, treasurer: G. II. Bartlett. s. s. Civil linn. Rowland F. Hoerle. J. F.. Mel son. C. II. Newton. D. C. Peck, C. R. I Sherman. First Selectman James Simpson, Henry Trumbull, and w. E. Vincent.
 A toulouse collection will be made by a Salvation Army worker, Envoy Albert Taylor. serving under the direction of the local committee. Envoy Taylor will be in uniform and Will carry proper credentials. includ- ing . letter of introduction signed by the chairman of the appeal commit tee. Mir. Wheeler. All donations re- celved by the envoy will be handed each day to the treasurer of the campaign, Mir. Macleod, Of the Plainville Trust Co.,. to whom checks may be made payable.
 The work done by the Salvation Army in assisting the less fortunate, or. as an official of the Army put it, in "helping man to help himself" Is well known to everybody. The de- mands at the present time. however, are greater than usual. due largely to the large number of unemployed per- sons. Plainville has always been very generous to the Army. and the com mittee feels confident that this years response will at least equal those of other years.
 This is the only appeal authorized by the Salvation Army in Plainville this year. and Envoy Taylor is the only worker empowered to solicit funds for the appeal. The Army warns the public that it will do the Army favor by refusing to make contributions during the year to other persons claiming to represent inc organization.
