NOME SERVICE HELPS ARMY TO SAVE HOURS

NEW METHOD OF FINANCING WELFARE WORK ENABLES SALVATIONISTS TO USE ENERGIES ELSEWHERE. — r— —Mb ■——S r — —J I MONEY RAISED IN TEN DAYS Indianapolis. — (Special) — During the last year more than 5,750,000 hours were 'salvaged by the Salvation Anny in the United States and put into profitable use. The organization which for so long has been saving health, life, materials and* souls has added to its list of conservation exploits the saving of nearly 16,000 hours a day. All of which are being used for the relief of suffering and the spreading of happiness and comfort among the crippled, the sick .and the penniless. This conservation of time and the resultant increased efficiency in the work of the Salvationists among the poor and needy was made possible through the inauguration of the plan of financing the Salvation Army through the annual Home Service Appeals. The 1920 appeal for the Salvation Army in Indiana is now in progiess and workers are In the field in nearly every county in the state raising Indiana’s quota of >452,000. Formerly the Salvation Army workers, especially the women and girls were required to spend the greater part of their time passing the tambourines in public places and appealing for contributions to keep the Army going. Today this wasteful system has been relegated and the money for the entire year’s program Is raised in the ten-day appeal, with ministers, business men, club women, members of the American Legion and others volunteering to do the work. Thus the Salvationists are enabled to devote their energies to their relief work.
