The remain­ ing million pounds will come front the pockets of families and individuals throughout the length and breadth of the country who give their sup­ port to local branch efforts to raise money for a cause dedicated to helping every­ one in need.


The Army expects to raise all the casualties of modern


society. The Army also keeps up


its unending struggle to pre­ vent girls from embarking on the sordid paths of prostitu­ tion and to dissuade those who have already become a parly of “the oldest sister­ hood” to start a new life. The Army goes out into
