Salvation Army
Functions Told By
Lieut. Madsen
The Salvation Army is a relig
ious organization. But it is more
than that. It is also a well a re
organization, Second I.t. Dallas
Madsen, in charge o( the Rose
burg corps, stated in a talk be
fore the Roseburg Lions club
Thursday night.
The work of the Salvation Army
if primarily charitable, Lt. Mad
sen informed his listeners. Based
upon a religion, to which it still
strongly adheres, the order, foun
ded by William Booth, has as its
original idea to help humanity.
Strength of the Salvation Army
movement, he said, is noted in
the news reports that Czechslov
akia, has banned its work in that
country.
Salvation Army workers, he
said, go where they are told to
fo, whether they like it or not.
n that respect, he said, it u
like an army. It has a function
to fullfill.
The Salvation Army has a tran
sient program, in which meals
and needs of persons going
through the community are pro
vided when these persons are in
distress.
It has a League of Mercy pro
gram, in which the sick and nos-
Eitalized and people in the county
omes are visited.
The Home league is a ladies
organization, which makes avail
able clothing and shoes to those
in need. In some instances a very
small sum is charged for the
items, not to make a profit, but
because many folks do not like
to accept charity.
He told of tiie youth program.
The lot next to the new Army
building was intended for a gym.
but lack of funds prevent this
from being built, tie said ha
hopes use of the lot can be turned
to other outside recreational pur
poses soon.
Lt. Madsen discussed the youth
hand, in which anyone who de
sires to learn to play an instru
ment is offered training. The type

Interesting Tour Of Europe
Related By Miss Helen Casey
At Meeting Of Kiwanis Club
It was a hop, skip and a jump report to Kiwanis club members
Tuesday of her recent four-month trip through Europe told by Miss
Helen Casey. But it was clearly evident from her ability to make
you feel you were with Jier, even in her sketchy report, that she had ab
sorbed a great deal of information about that continent.
Most of the trio through Europe.
she said, was made by special bus,
after she had flown from New
York, via the Azores, to Lisbon,
Portugal. Her group was joinel by
a party of 18 at Madrid, Spain, and
they were driven by two Italian
drivers who were with them two
months. . '
She found Portugal interesting
and the people friendly. There are
n't too many tourists in that coun
try, she said,
she said.
Her party saw much of Spain.
Traveling by special bus, it was
possible to take in more of the
countryside. The bus, too, which
was very large, attracted consid
erable attention.
Of special interest, said Miss
Casey, was the manner in which
all highways were heavily policed.
One of the party, taking a picture
of some urchins, had her camera
confiscated by the gendarmes. .
' The Americans didn t aprove too
heartily of dinner at 9:30 to 10 p.
m., she said. The Madrid art gal
lery was "wonderful" and the Ma
drid streets clean. Olives from the
miles and miles of trees were dis
appointingly small.
They visited the Alhambra castle
at Grenada, and were not "disap
pointed." The two-weeks' fair at
Seville was colorful and interest
ing, the tourists were certainly
"taken" from an expense stand
point. Miss Casey will remember Se
ville. She purchased a popular,
black hat, and wore it to a night
club. She was immediately brand
ed an American. Such hats were
nut worn only while riding horses,
she learned.
They traveled into France and on
to Nice on the Riviera. Saw Rita
Hayworth's villa and Errol Flynn's
yacht It was springtime and the
country was at its best. They trav
eled on to Italy, to the Riviera, to
the leaning tower of Pisa, to Rome,
Naples, Sorento, and 'the Isle of
Capri.
Italians Eager Te Rebuild
Back to Rome, they found the
city filled with pilgrims and visit
ors. They visited St. Peter's cath
edral, wliich holds 100,000. Nearly
filled, the throng put on quite a
demonstration. It was the day af
ter tne canonization ol a monk:
On the busy streets of Rome,
Miss Casey was surprised to meet
Eleanor Micelli, daughter of the
Albert Micellis of Roseburg.
. The Italians, she found, were
wonderful people, eager to rebuild
their country, v and they were
grateful for the Marshall plan.
There had been a great deal of
destruction in Florence. Venice was
the beautiful, quite place one reads
about. There were no automobiles,
no bicycles. They rode in gon
dolas. They went to Austria by the way
of Brenner Pass. In Germany they
saw the Passion play, given for
the first time in 16 years, and it
was "beautiful, lovely and sin
cere." Munich was a town "all in
pieces. Their guide kept talking
of partially destroyed towns in that
manner. Back into Switzerland.
they continued on to France, where
they ate the French delicacy,
snails. Paris was "truly the beau
tiful city," but nothing was cheap.
On through Beleium and Hol-
lnad, they continued to Copenhag
en, Denmark; Stockholm, Sweden,
and to Oslo, Norway. They .saw the
fiords, and then from Bergen flew
across the North sea to Newcastle.
Scotland.
London Coming Back
They traveled through Scotland
and England by bus, visiting at
tractive Edinburgh and gloomy
Glasgow, thence through Coventry
to London. There they were told
the terrors of the war during 79
continuous days of bombing. Their
bus driver drove a bus through
London during the war. He had
to continue during the bombing,
and was called home during a raid
to find his wife buried in debris.
London there's no place like it
suffered a great deal of destruc
tion, but it is coming back, said
Miss Casey. She saw the changing
of the guard at Buckingham palace
and at Whitehall.
They flew back to New York,
stopping only a few minutes for
dinner and "garlic coffee" at Shan
non, Irelnad. They stopped also at
Newfoundland and were in New
York at 7 a. m. next day. It was
raining there. Miss Casey also
flew back to Portland, and one of
the most interesting sights of her
trip was Mount' Hood.
