Salvation Truck
Due Here Tuesday
Swimming trunks, cotton shirts
and sandals are in great demand
at the Salvation Army’s Thrift
Stores in Fort Worth.
The lightweight clothing need-
ed by North Texas area residents
during the height of the summer
is rapidly dwindling in the dis-
tribution centers.
"We see our supply of light-
weight clothing going every fast
in July," said Captain Richard
M. McConniel, commanding offi-
cer of the Salvation Army’s Men’s
Social Service Center. "The ma-
terials wear faster and make a
greater number of wardrobe
changes necessary.”
The summer clothing donated
by North Texas area residents is
collected periodically by Salva-
tion Army trucks and delivered
to the Men’s Social Service Cen-
ter at 2901 N. E. 28th Street in
Fort Worth.
There, men enrolled in the re-
habilitation program, process the
goods while learning various
skills. The donations are sorted
by size and typed, cleaned, re-
tired and delivered to the Th-
rift Stores around Fort Worth.
The Thrift Stores sell the re-
made goods at modest prices to
support their program.
In addition to the clothing, the
men at the center repair and re-
furbish furniture, toys and ap-
pliances and household goods for
sale in ihe stores.
The Salvation Army truck will
visit Dublin every Tuesday. Call
445-3122 for the truck service.
The 2:30 p. m ceremonies got
underway in the American Leg-
lon-Auxiliniy Hall next to

pent of the Dublin Historical So-
ciety Bill Ccwan as master of
ererr.onies

ett Hightower gave the welcom-
ing address.

by the Stroud Sisters, Mrs. Doy-
le Chambers, Mrs. Leo Cham-
bers arid Mrs. Orvell Wells.
"Wagon Wheels,” “Your Land Is
My Land" and patriotic songs
were sung beautifully by the well
known and so loved sister group
Bill Cowan introduced the prin-
cipal speaker, Rev. Seaborn
Kiker, pastor of the First United
Methodist Church of Kingsville.
Rev. Kiker wr.s not born in Dub-
lin but his ancestral history goes
back as far as when the Indians
were in and around Dublin.
Recognition was given to sever-
al Dublin area pioneers by Mrs.
Czella Farris, assisted by Mrs.
Betty Culpepper who presented
each with a huge led, white and
blue rosette ribbon.
The indoor unveiling of the

ciety, Coy Wall. Mr. Wall ex-
pressed his appreciation to all
who helped on the July 4th Cele-
bartion and Dedication of the
