Activity At Salvation Army Activity at the Salvation Army Citadel in Warsaw continues to accelerate in an organized pace as Christmas draws near. The army workers are busy locating deserving families throughout Kosciusko county who are unable to adequately provide for themselves Christmas cheer, identifying their seasonal needs and setling out to meet those needs to the best of its ability. Support for this worthwhile work is coming from many community sources. Already the Fraternal Order of Police and the Kiwanis club of Warsaw have taken turns as “bellringers” at the downtown kettlebooth to raise funds for the program. On Saturday the Warsaw Lions club will take its turn ringing bells and the following week the Warsaw Rotary club. But more help is needed. The armv has at pres Q nt received approximately one third of the amount of money as that raised la«t year for this annual urogram and there is only a week and a half left for the effort. Since time is of essence, the army staff is planning its work as though the funds were on hand and feeling confident that the money is on its way. It is believed that additional funds will be forthcoming next week as Christmas shopping and giving gets into full swing, reported Al Reque, Christmas Cheer chairman. Personal letters to selected friends is hoped to result in a generous response to the need. The master list at the citadel office includes 78 family names now in the process of evaluation by the Salvation Armv community clearinghouse staff headed by Mrs. Junior Van Dyke, clerical worker at the citadel. She is meeting with persons of all community clubs, groups and organizations interested in screening seasonal benefactors. Requests for aid are filtering into the citadel office from communities throughout the county from the Salvation Army Liaison committee members of the Fraternal Order of Police. It is felt that many families will benefit through this year’s program who might otherwise be missed. Since this is a pioneer project, it is too early to estimate its total effectiveness. Orders for food stuffs will be placed next week and the baskets filled in time for delivery by KEMRAD members on December 23 and 24. The baskets will be a little fuller this year because of a successful food collection effort by the Missionary Cadets of the First Presbyterian church of Winona Lake and other supporting churches. An added feature to this year’s Christmas effort is the institution of a Salvation Army Community

Christmas Toy Shop under the sponsorship of the recently chartered Women’s Auxiliary directed by Mrs. Ethan Kaufman, president. The toy shop will be .open by invitation to parents of disadvantaged children. They will be permitted to select suitable toys for their children in person. This will enable them to select the right gift for the right child. Community clubs, groups, organizations and businesses are invited to donate new toys to the toy shop program. The toys will be made available without charge to the families mentioned above. Since this, too, is a pioneer program and resources are uncertain, it is hoped that toys may be gathered early for assortment and display. Members of the Warsaw Rotary club held their annual Christmas party last Friday in order to cooperate with the army’s toy shop committee members. It is estimated that between S2OO-S3OO worth of toys was turned over to Captain G. Howard Palomaki for distribution later next week by Mrs. John Kelley, Toy Shop committee chairman.
