NEWS-REVIEW,- ROSEBURG,- OREGON - TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1948 NINE Salvation Army's Service Extolled By J. M. Chesebro "My respect for the Salvation Army Is one I have learned, for its members go mto a project with their hearts and not with their heads," jtated John M. Chesebro, public relations direc tor for the Salvation Army, who is directing the current fund rais ing campaign for the Roseburg un'.t's new $35,000 building pro gram. Chesebro, speaking at the Jun ior Chamber of Commerce meet ing Monday night in the Umpqua Hotel, stated he was not a mem ber of the Army, but that he had the highest respect for its mem bership and work. Tracing the historv of the Salvation Army, he said it came into exijtence in 1865 in darkest England, because its leaders, Will iam and Catherine Booth, wanted to do something about cleaning up the moral situation in that country. Today, he said, the Army operates in 95 countries. Its existence today, said Chese- hro, might be attributed to the fact the spirit of the Army is "come along brother and have a cun nf enf fpe " fee quoted Lady Astor as say ing "the war scare in Europe would be stopped, If we outfitted the Salvation Army with Bihles na loin mem to go to work. Bums Tended Oft Characterizing the work of the Army In Roseburg with that all over the world, he described how the local director and his wife worked on a 24-hour day basis gathering clothes, and, with the assistance of the Women's Home I jague, sews and repairs clothing that may either be given to transients, or sold and the money used to teed those In need. Were It not for the Salvation Army, he declared, there would be "bums k locking at every door in Roseburg. Strangely, how ever, he added, when a load of wood was dumped outside the Army office recently, not a single transient showed "up until the wood was removed three days later. No Proselyting Chesebro stated it was not the purpose of the Salvation Army to proselyte persons of other religious faiths, but rather to bring religion to those persons "living across the track" who have never had a church of their own. Members of the Army are religious, he stated, but they be lieve In teaching by precept and example. That, he said, Is hack of the program in Roseburg, to con struct office buildings and a gym nasium, which will serve as a youth center. Capt. Claud Bow. den, local director, hopes to or ganize a basketball league and to Inaugurate other sports. But support of the townspeople ,, i, I Jl .

He said that already a large amount of material has been donated for the proposed facili ties. The local sponsoring com mittee, headed by civic leaders, have beyond the fondest hopes of the Salvation Army decided to go all out for a building program at this time, rather than to string the construction along.
