him from their joint savings fund

the boat crashes into its rickety
wharf and is burned, while the

 Tomorrow the Army will place three Christmas kettles on the street 10 begin the annual collection of Christmas funds. The kettles will be withdrawn or kept out next week depending upon what response they meet tomorrow.
 Several offers of clothing for needy families were received by Commandant Helgeson today and more is needed, he said. Clothing, especially shoes and overcoats fo. gil members of the family are in de- mand.
 Members of the Salvation Army advisory committee plan to take no action in regard to complaints that the Army truck from Hartford comes to this city collecting cloth ing. portions of which are sold in a Lafayette street store.
