The charitable work dune in the La Grande community desen-cs tlie support of every citizen. In a city of this fize there is certain to le a great numler of cases that require the help and assistance of those .who are more for tunate in life. . Several organizations make a practice of giving relief at certain times during the year to worthy needy people, but it remains for the Salvation Army in I -a Grande to cany the brunt of the work and do construc tive relief work the year 'round. The Salvation Armv is! the only agency in the city to do constant chanty work and 1 he opportunity afforded the people hcie to help their re lief program deserves whole-hearted attention. ; Those fortunate citizens who have good homes, a fair living, adequate food, and waim beds and clothing are often prone to forget that there may l families within the com munity who lack the lare necessities of life. Some of them are in direst poverty and most of them are unknown to anyone capable of giving help except the Salvation Army. Army workers are iwntiiu'.aily cajiable of finding out the true conditions in needy families. They become confidants' of people who would otherwise starve K-foie they would admit misery and privation. By. training and cxonence they know worthy cases and they know how relief can liest be provided. The entertainment to lie given lomoirow evening for the lienofit of the local Salvation Ainiy's charity fund is an unusually fine effnit on the part .of miblie-sniritetl citizens who have made it p.ssil.l". It gives the x-o!e of the city j a chance to enjoy ;.n excellent entertainment program and j lit the s:ime time to Cur.tribiito to the aid of worthy poor i of the city who sue so in need at this season of the year.
