-~ Z WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1923 SALVATION ARMY ~ IN DRIVE SOON Leo M. Dean Is President of Local Committee At a meeting of the Wilmette Advis- ory committee of the Salvation Army held last Thursday evening, the local committee was reorganized and plans ef- fected to conduct the annual fund cam- paign here during the week of October 15 to 22. In commenting on the Wilmette pro- gram for the coming season, G. M. Rich- mond, field representative of the Sal- vation Army, says: "Perhaps there is no more self-sacri- ficing people on the earth than the officers of the Salvation Army. The reward of the Army lassies or laddies is not an earthly one," éxcept in the consciousness of doing something for others. While they believe in the next world, they cer- tainly . believe, also, in making this .one better and more livable for everybody. . "Wherever there is human misery and distress, they are there to alleviate it. They believe that, while both men and women may be down, they are never out. None can excell them in the work of re- habilitating wrecked lives and changing human derilects into normal human be- ings who become helpers of theirs as soon as they are rescued. "But this is not all they do. There is never a great calamity but they are there. In the Pueblo disaster they were the first to rush two car-loads of food from Denver. Last year they placed 70,- 000 persons in positions free of cost. "They are now in the field of pre- vention as well as rescue and their young women's boarding homes are such agen- cies. These homes are delightfully cheer- ful, affording the best surroundings with prices so reasonable that it seems al- most incredible. They are safe and com- fortable retreats. 'They carry on six- teen major activities and last year ad- ministered the Chicago budget at the small cost of 5.1 per cent. "The Salavation Army has no great organized mass in its own membership aside from its consecrated officers. Its members are all workers. Their person- nel is not composed of prosperous busi- ness men and those who have retired in opulance, hence they rely upon the sup- port of the public to aid them in carry- "ug On their work, or rather the people's work. Protestant, Catholic and Jew are all alike to them when it comes to ser- vice. There is no distinction. "The Salvation Army now handles its finances through the annual appeal, keep- ing their officers so far as possible at the job of service for which they are trained. The state-wide appeal of the Salvation Army this year in Illinois is from Octo- ber 15 to 23. "The local Salvation Army committee at Wilmette met and reorganized last Thursday and voted to take up the work and present the appeal for funds in com- mon with other communities. "The local board for this year is as follows : Leo M. Dean, president; Henry Fow- ler, vice president; Margaret E. Pickard, secretary; Dan G. Stiles, treasurer. The other members are: Paul A. Hoffman, Mrs. C. A. Wanner, Maj. Malcolm Mc- Kerchar, Charles F. Brandt, Mrs. Wil- liam Levett and Mrs. Charles R. Pick- ard"! BLIND STUDENT BACK AT STUDY Carl Bostron Takes Heavy Course at N. U. Carl Bostrom, the remarkable blind student at the college of liberal arts university, has re- turned to the Evanston campus and will take more work than the average university student who has perfect vision. Besides his regular class-work, Carl is 'planning to ask Prof. Robert H. Gault, head of the psychology de- partment of Northwestern university, to experiment with him during the first semester as to his special: ability of Northwestern to distinguish colors either by the sense of feeling or smell. Prof. Gault conducted a series of interesting ex- periments last year along this line to and young Bostrom is anxious reach some definite conclusions. "If 1 can learn more of the sense of touch and smell and their related: values to the blind ' human .being; I feel that.I.shall be better equipped-to meet life's problems after 1 leave Northwestern university," explained the sightless sophomore. Has Heavy Course Carl this year has engaged tor take English, French, geology, psychology, public speaking, European history and a special course in physical training. ' "It is a big load but I'm sure I can carry it with the help of my mother," young Bostrom declared confidently. His mother, who helped Carl to reg- ister and select his studies, said she had agreed to be her son's eyes not only this year but throughout his col- lege course. "My mother is loath to let me take up journalism," con- tinued the lad while his mother nod- ded a strenuous affirmation, "but I'm going im for it anyway, I'm sure I can get around all right." Mrs. Bostrom explained that Carl could hardly be a successful reporter in a large city and she was doubtful, too, as to his being able to become an editorial writer. "Editoral writers on large news- papers must do so much reading," she commented, "and I fear I couldn't do all that for Carl after he gets away from home." Howeyer, Carl stuck to it that he NORTH SHORE TALKING MACHINE CO.
