The 1955 Gazette notes the Salvation Army’s long history of public service from World War I through today, praising its global reach in 85 nations and its reputation for feeding, comforting, and serving without seeking return. It highlights tradition, couture notes, and continued relevance.
Reporter Inez Robb notes the Salvation Army begins its U S diamond jubilee with a modest march from New York City Hall to the Battery. Since 1880 the army has grown to 250000 members led by 5000 officers, aiding the weary and needy while enduring early attacks.
