SALVATION ARMY WEEK STARTS MAY 20

National Salvation Army week, a period for celebrating the organiz- ation's progress in helping the na- tion's unfortunates, will start May 20.
 An announcement by President Eisenhower, followed by similar de- clarations from other high govern ment officials, including governors of most states and mayors of many cities, will set the stage fora the nationwide observance. ' Noting that the Salvation Army in the last ten years had provided 100000 free meals, National Commander Donald McMillan re- affirmed the Salvation Army's twin goals of physical regeneration and spiritual rebirth of the nations un- fortunates.
 As in the Salvation Armys be- ginning in this country - it's first 'open air meeting was held in New Work in 1880 - the organization s emphasis has been on spiritual help to the lowest-income segment of the population. Last year Salvation Army officers and soldiers conduct ed religious services attended by 1S,657,423 persons.
 In the states, Salvation Army red trucks picked up furniture and clothing which provided self-help in centers to 42,9S7 men. Another Salvation Army service is that of locating missing persons. Last year 1,5O0 lost persons were located in answer to pleas to the Army from relatives and friends. Some of these persons were among the ? F million homeless or transient men and wo- men who were given warm, clean lodgings in Salvation Army institu- tions.
 Guidance to persons facing dom estic and other problems was given last year to 324,O39 individuals.
 Assistance in catastrophes such as floods, storms, fires and wrecks is being provided on a nationwide scale. Records of the Salvation Army for 1855 show that lassies of of the Army's League of Mercy vis- ited more than two million persons in hospitals and homes for the aged and that spiritual leadership and recreational opportunities were of- fered to almost four million boys and girls in Salvation Army youth centers.
