SINTY ARG SERVCE ASSALED |December 28 Is Date Set by | Discrimination in Rates and Court—Prisoner Freed Antique Equipment Charged Must Curtail Relief Programs Civic ‘Association Sets Ap-i if Contributions Fail to ' proximate Time to Com- Meet Demands. i | The Salvation Army in Washington was faced today with the curtailment of its Christmas and Winter relief | program, and will be unable to give fo the poor and the needy of the city this year unless the people of the Dis- trict come to its aid immediately, ac- cording to a statement from headquar ters. An intensive campaign to raise $9,000 in three days was ordered be gun at once. Makes Urgent Appeal. In an urgent appeal for relief, Staff Capt. Ernest R. Holz said today: “We peed $20,000 to carry the apmy through the Christmas program and to continue to help the poor through the Winter months. Of this amoynt, $11,000 has been contributed. We are doing everything possible to t the needed amount before Christmas time.” In an address over radio station WRC last night, Capt. Holz empha- sized the fact that it is not the policy of the Salvation Army to care for the poor in sporadic outbursts, such as at Christmas time. On the con-) trary, he said, the army’s work among the poor never stops, regardiess u(i the season. Christmas Season Special. “Of course, at C! tmas time we try to do a little more,” he said. Capt, | Holz pointed out that of the $20,000 | now sought, $12,500 will be used for relief work during January, February and March, the three months of the year in- which the greatest demands | are made for help. On Satur , the day before Christ mas, the army plans to distribute more than 800 baskets of food and will give toys, car and gifts to more than 1000 children. An ol fashioned dinner for homeless m will be given on Christmas day plete Details. About a year will be necessary to acquire the land for the National Arboretum and lay out the grounds and the proposed water park along the lowlands lying near the Anacostia River, authorization for the purchase | of which is contained in the first| deficiency bill, passed by Congress Saturday and now awaiting signature of the President. The American Civie Association, | one of the organizations which have | been behind the movement to estab- lish the arboretum, estimated today a year's time would elapse before initial work could begin. Meanwhile, the association announc ed, informal meetings of the advisory council named by Secretary of Azri culture Jardine to plan and develop the arboretum are being held. Mem bers are: Frederic A. Delano of Wash ington, president of the civic as ation; L. H. Bailey of Ithaca president of the Botanical Society America; Henry Graves of New Haven, dean of the School of Forestry men: John C.

It was charged that Rock- ville and vicinity and sections north and west of the counfy seat have been | lagrantly discriminfted against fin | the matter of rates and that the serv- |ice generally is bad. All who spoke agreed that the con- ditions are in no wise due to employes of the Rockville central office. It was pointed out that the young women employed there are unusually cour- ;me« and accommodating. The trou- ble, it was agreed, is with the equip- | ment, which was described as “anti- quated and inadequate.” I'ne need of a traffic officer for duty | in front of the Rockville High School building mornings and afternoons, was another matter that provoked an"ani- mated discussion. The dangers that {the hundreds of children of all ages, | that attend the school, are daily sub- jected to, were pointed out and the feeling was unanimous that it is of urgent impo nce that an officer be stationed there from 8:30 to 9:15 in the morning and from 2:45 to 3:30 in the afternoon. The chairman was au- thorized to name a committee to co- { operate with a committee of the Rock- | ville Parent-Teachers | endeavor to have the chief of police {for the county, Alvie A.
