The money you provide out of your abundance will go to even up the score, smooth the sorrow, and ease the load of others who might become des- perate. And don't let that word 'abundance' bother you. Maybe you don't know which model of car to buy this spring, or wheth- er to buy a nylon or wool rug for your living room. Yet you are thinking of one aren't you? That alone would spell abun- dance to many who are living on the edge of sanity...who need the helping hand and gen- tle counsel of The Salvation Ar- my's trained workers. Share what you have, what you take for granted, through the Red Shield. Help that Shield cover with protection and relief those whose need is great. Share what you have with others, and enjoy a greater satisfaction and warmth from what you have left. Captain Ferris of the local Salvation Army asks once again for your support when the can- vasser calls at your door. Mon- day, May 15th, in the evening, a blitz will be conducted in Wingham.
