REPRESENTATIVE OF ORGANIZA-
TION IN McKINNEY.
"The work of the Salvation Army
da not fully understood by the average
man at a distance from a local corps,
. er post, said Envoy E. P. Baldry,
Salvation Army representative here.
“Everyone has long had the impres-
sion that it does a splendid service for
a class of people that no one else in
any large scale serves, and of course
this is altogether true. But, spectei-
k ' eally what the work is, is not com-
mon knowledge.
“Since the war, when it became the
practice for a number of organizations
to make a general public appeal for
funds there has developed an idea
that all these organisations, such as
the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. Salvation
Army and Y. W. C. A., are doing the
same work, duplicating each other,
more onsless. This idea should be
corrected” in the interest of each of
these organizations. Such has Its
specific function without parallel on
the part of the others.
"The Salvation Army works the
year 'round with neglected people,
morally and economically, and espec-
tally those who are more or less out-
easts in the eyes of the public.
— A wise system of institutions-has
been developed, where provision is
made for men who have seemingly
lost out in the bitter strife of modern
commerce and industry: for country
girls coming to the city and earning
small wages, which makes it difficult
for them to find board and lodging for
what they are able to pay without
moral danger in the atmosphere, and
for the woman who has loved not
wisely, but too well, and who, in her
plight, is faced with further disaster
i
at almost every step.
. Taking America Off Its Feet:
The year just ended has been the
greatest of all the fifteen years of
Overland history A great year made
by great cars—the greatest Overlands
ever built. Greatest in looks, power,
action, comfort—and money’s worth?
Look at the new Overland Cham-
pion. for instance. It brings a quality
closed car with features and utilities
hitherto unheard of within reach
of every purse. America's first all-
purpose car—conceded *i be the
most useful motor car on wheels
The Champion and all Overland
models have the bigger Overland
engine—brute power with extreme
economy. Leaders in economy
— leaders on the road—leaders
in the many satisfactions they
•bring to owners. See them. Sit in
them. Ask for a sample ol their
performance. ‘
such men and women. These advis-
ory Board members do three things.
The initiate the annual home service
appeal, or financial campaign. They
expend 25 per cent net of the total
amount of money raised here for ad-
ministration In charity and benevo-
lence at home and they stand ready
throughout the entire year to bring to
the attention of Lt. Col. George Wood,
Southwestern Divisional Commander,
cases of need beyond the scope of the
funds in the hands of the local board,
or in the case of persons for whom
institutional service such as the Sal-
vation Army is prepared to render to
place them in line for assistance.
"The Salvation Army belongs to no
particular group of people.. It is a
non-sectarian organisation., working
for the welfae, rboth material and
spiritual, of all humanity. It is sup-
ported by, and aids, men and- child-
ren of all stations of life and of all
races, creeds, and denominations."
