The Salvation Army today began its annual campaign in Plainville for funds with which to carry on fits general welfare work.

The de- munds at the present time, however, are greatar thap usual, due largely to the large number of uncmployed per- sons, Plainville has aiways been very generous to the Army, and the com- mittee feels confident that this year's response will at least equal those of other years.
