Show Writer Extolls Goodness of Salvation Army Bringing relief to the suffering suf-fering and rehabilitation of lost souls, is the devout purpose of the Salvation Army. No organization organ-ization on earth has done more of it, or done it so humbly, cheerfully or so meagerly. No one could possibly make more use of a dollar than they. Since the experiences of war have been so numerous the past few decades, men have come more and more to respect them and their gentle ways. Any who have needed help and could make contact have received it. All have come to know a friend when in need. Every day in the year and perhaps every hour of the day and night, someone is receiving their benefits. They spend their Christmas, their vacation, and sometimes much of their sleeping sleep-ing time, helping others. Seldom Sel-dom do we hear of the many things they do. Right here in our own community families of seven or eight have been stranded and broke, with a broken down car and nothing to eat, and no shelter. The Salvation Army never fails. Part of the donations they receive re-ceive are always kept in the area in which it was given, but when need occurs, the Army never hesitates to spend many times the amount collected in an area to give relief to the suffering. Practically all the homes in Springville have received a gift return envelope. They are asking us to help them in this great work of benevolence. Who could refuse when their part is so unselfishly done. It has been impossible to get every name and address included.. in-cluded.. Don't you who do-not receive the letter, want to make your Christmas happier, as well as those who have received re-ceived it, by sharing with the Salvation Army, who know where the need is greatest.
