THE BEE: UMAHA, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1920. Urgent Need of Salvation Army Drive Explained T t) T ' TV i new jucscue uome a necessity To Care for Omaha Needy During Winter, Says John W. Gamble. Great enthusiasm was shown by the majors and team captains en gaged in the Salvation Army Home Service appeal at a luncheon held in the Rome Hotel tit noon Monday. Practically every prominent club in the city was represented. City Director H. A. Lenti made a rousing address to the members of the various teams, expressing his gratitude and appreciation for their strenuous efforts on behalf of fihe Salvation Army, telling them that by a few days of like effort the drive would be successfully carried through. Herbert W. Jeffrey of Chicago, territorial director for Salvation Army programs, outlined for thu ;,benefit of the gathering what the - Salvation Army activities were in all of the 24 states west of the Mis- I sissippi river. "California and Kan i sas, said Mr. Jeffrey, "are the two banner states in the west from our Salvation Army standpoint. Both of those went over the top in their drive, and Oklahoma, Texas, Mon tana, Iowa, the two Dakotas and the state of Nebraska, outside of Omaha, are all making fine show ings," he said. Drive Necessary. "Some of my business colleagues tell me the time Is unpropitious for them to contribute to tne support of the Salvation Army whose func- . tion it is to relieve the distress of 4 this city," said John V. Gamble. "I take exception to this assertion on the ground that necessity knows no law of opportunity. Emergencies arise every minute of every day in the year. The Salvation Army has to function in relieving the needs of our poor. If they don't who will? "The Salvation Army is an insti tution with an established personnel equipped to handle cases which no other organization ever has or can reach, with any degree of success Its arms of love girdle the globe. "In 64 countries and in 42 langua ges it receives into its willing ears . and heart the woes and distresses of This wonderful booitwitl be serrtfrtttoanumaflupoare quect . am&ESUNDCNEflXMmK J humunity. Its work is primarily a vice preventive, though in many, many instances it finds its best ef forts engaged in the reclamation to society of the so-called down-and-outs. It fathers 16 distinct major activities, all of which function in dependently of each other, though under the one Salvation Army head. "The most urgent need at present is the Rescue Home maintenance fund and the city relief work fund, which rmist be cared for. We have 32 girls and their babies at the Rescue Home. What are we to do with them? They must be cared for. Win ter is coming, when the poor and needy must be looked after, food, fuel and clothing and other needs supplied to "the poor. The ram shackle Rescue Home is as cold as a barn during the winter months, notwithstanding there are 17 coal and oil stoves used. Hard Winter for Poor. "Captain J. G. Cheyne, in charge of the relief work of the local corps, declares that this will be the hard est winter on the poor of Omaha of any in Salvation Army history. Al-1 ready the biting winter winds are piercing and benumbing some of our half-clad and half-fed poor who come well within the jurisdiction of the Salvation Army. Without funds what will they do? How shall we meet this problem? "Let us at least try now to get the money necessary to care for the Rescue Home maintenance and the leiifi work of the city, and let the proposition of the new building rest in abeyance until spring, when gen eral conditions may brighten up and the tone of public confidence be re stored," said Mr. Gamble.

That Office m A vote for Stroud is a vote for good roads, for Mr. Stroud w an old. exDerienced as Mr. tompton has, therefore he will give the outlying districts equal treatment. But if Mr. Compton succeeds in getting re elected he will continue for four more years to insist on bridging the Platte River in a very poor and inconvenient place, the effect of which would be to force a paved road through his land holdings. i Mr. Compton has bought over one hundred thousand dollars ' worth of Jand in the last twelve months and is interested in enough more to make nearly 3,000 acres. .

All who have investigated agree that a bridge, can be built below the railroad bridge for one-half of what it would cost to build above, and we all know that the railroad bridge would afford great protection for a wagon bridge erected just below it.

Let's vote for T. F. Stroud for County Commissioner and get harmony in this county and also some good roads, and get them where the taxpayers' money will not be used for selfish purposes. Let's bridge the Platte River below the railroad bridge, where it should be. Remember, Mr. Stroud did not seek this office, but after he had retired he was asked to run and told it was his duty to give some of his time to his county. He will not favor any special interests and has no special interests of his own to favor.

COWLES, waier view hiock larm, Waterloo, eo Mr. L. C. Sholes, while on the Good Roads Committee of the Real Estate Hoard, made an investigation of the Platte River bridge locations. He secured the services of Howard, Harrington & Ash, consulting engineers, who have constructed some of the largest bridge building projects in the United States. Mr. Ash personally visited the bridge lo cations and approaches, and recommended the location below the C, B. & Q. R. R. bridgcv He also stated the cost of con struction at this location would be 50" less than at the Compton location, above the C, B. & Q. R. R. bridge. Mr. F. A. Brogan says these same people, Howard, Harrington & Ash, are now designing the Yankton, South Dakota, bridge. - ' ' : i
