Corps or other institutions. Ac
cording to James Grassley, Di
rector of The Salvation Army

last year this meant help for
over 5,000 persons in Oregon.
In over 100 communities in
the two-state area, Service Ex
tension Committees of The Sal
vation Army, staffed by more
than 420 volunteers, bring some
23 services to those in need.
These services include emer
gency disaster aid, funds for
clothing and shoes for school
age children of needy families,
care for unwed mothers, emer
gency medical aid, transient
welfare,
farm
fire relief
and food for those not eligible
for other forms of welfare.
In order that this network of
help to those in distress can be
continued, contributions from
all the communities involvedare
necessary. Letters will be
mailed this week.
Response
from these persons andall other
concerned local citizens is es
sential for the help offered
through the Local Service Ex
tension Committee to be con
tinued during the coming year.
Grassley emphasized that
these maintenance fund appeals
are made only in communities
where these contributions are
the major source of support.
None are made in areas where
The Salvation Army receives
