Motto Of Army ‘‘Soup, soap, and salvation” has long been the motto of the Salva tion Army which seeks to admin* ister to the actual bodily needs of under-privileged people. then to make them clean and comfortable and to finally touch their spirittual life,” Mr. Anderson said. “I want to emphasize the fact, however, that there will be the greatest possible amount of co operation with the churches. The Salvation Army deals with a class of people that few churches can or do not reach. If we can rehabil itate them and bring them back, we have done mankind a favor. We need a centralizing agency for transients and “down-and-outers” in Shelby. If we had a permanent Army post here it would stop the incessant "pan-handling” we now have on up-town streets. Cases would be investigated and delin quents, who in many cases are vic tims of circumstances, could be cared for properly.” Floods Kill Six GRANADA, CoI„ June 1.—(/P>— Subsiding flood waters left six dead and one missing today in the dust swept sector of three states.
