"Today" might well be one of the mottoes emblazoned on the banners of the Salvation Army, for although its workers live for the future; they make the most in service out of every passing day. It is well known that this utilitarian body of men and women "work for the night is coming," but they do so with the realization that the golden moments of today, if lost or misused, are gone forever. Moreover, they have a saying that the future cannot be improved unless the present is constructively disturbed. The urgency of the present lies heavily upon all whose efforts affect other lives. The Army's welfare workers take their self-imposed responsibilities earnestly no matter whether their charge be a highly-organized city centre or a remote village ' outpost. With the 1953 Red Shield Appeal, the Salvation Army asks its supporters to assist present labors which cannot go on without funds. In helping the Army today, Canadians are helping their 'country'- future. Human need cannot wait. The Salvation Army knows that. Let us help them, and do it today. We all know the good work of the Army here and we can be assured that any generosity we show will be relayed tenfold by the Army to those who need it. Surely this is a gratifying form of interest. Let's push the quota over the top by digging down today to help those who help others. OTTAWA DIARY By Norman M.
