Salvation Army Passes .
Its 1952 $6,500 Goal
The Freeport Salvation Army
Corps, 75 Church street, has passed
the $6,500 goal se,t for its annual
fund raising campaign, Brigadier
Ernest W. Newton announced this
week.
Most of the money was raised dur-ing
May, the month of the drive,
since which contributions'have been
coming in slowly. In a final effort
to get over the top, appeals for con-tributions
were mailed to several
hundred persons, mostly those who
have contributed in past years, but
had failed to do so ,this year, with
the hope that the response would
bring the campaign to a successful
conclusion. This it has. done.
However, Brigadier Newton an-

Of 252 Watchers for
Quota to Spot Planes
According to a statement made
this week by P. Gordon Edwards
Freeport's Director of Civil Defense
there is an urgent need for volun-teers
in the Ground Observers Corps
of the Aircraft Warning Service
Since July W this woefully under-manned
group of civilians has been
trying valiantly to operate a con-tinuous
round-the-clock job of spot
ting and reporting aircraft; but lack
of interest and "it can't happen
here" attitudes have hampered the
work in many communities, includ-ing
Freeport.
A recent series of tests conducted
by the Air Force proved conclusively
•that low-flying airplanes are impos-sible
to detect oy radar and must be
observed and plotted by ground ob-servers.
Brig. Gen. George F. Smith.
vice-commander of the Eastern Air
Defense Force, has said that it is
vital-for the American people to un-derstand
this flaw in the nation's
defense which, as he puts it, '""••*
