Salvation Army to ax three employees in cost-cutting move
FAIRMONT AP Almost as soon as Christmas 1998 is a memory the debt plagued Salvation Army community center in Fairmont will lay off three paid staffers who answer phones perform clerical and janitorial chores and help run the thrift store. The move is expected to save about 50 000 a year representing the local churchs annual loss. Salvation Army Capt Ron Raymer said rehiring may occur under a debt recovery plan which aims to boost thrift store income and public awareness of the Armys community role.
